THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD
A ‘Hypotheses,’ said Medawar in 1964, are imaginative and inspirational in character’; they are ‘adventures of the mind’. He was arguing in favour of the position taken by Karl Popper in The Logic of Scientific Discovery (1972, 3rd edition) that the nature of scientific method is hypothetico-deductive and not, as is generally believed, inductive.
Medawar đã nói vào năm 1964 rằng: “Các giả thuyết thường có tính tưởng tượng và cảm hứng bất chợt”; chúng là 'những cuộc phiêu lưu của trí óc'. Ông đã lập luận ủng hộ quan điểm của Karl Popper trong Logic của khám phá khoa học (1972, xuất bản lần thứ 3) rằng bản chất của phương pháp khoa học là suy diễn giả thuyết chứ không phải quy nạp như người ta thường tin.
B It is essential that you, as an intending researcher, understand the difference between these two interpretations of the research process so that you do not become discouraged or begin to suffer from a feeling of ‘cheating’ or not going about it the right way.
Quang trọng là bạn, với tư cách là một nhà nghiên cứu tương lai hiểu được sự khác biệt giữa hai cách hiểu về quá trình nghiên cứu này để bạn không nản lòng hoặc bắt đầu có cảm giác 'lừa dối' hoặc không đi đúng hướng.
C The myth of scientific method is that it is inductive: that the formulation of scientific theory starts with the basic, raw evidence of the senses - simple, unbiased, unprejudiced observation. Out of these sensory data - commonly referred to as ‘facts’ — generalisations will form. The myth is that from a disorderly array of factual information an orderly, relevant theory will somehow emerge. However, the starting point of induction is an impossible one.
Giai thoại về phương pháp khoa học là nó có tính quy nạp: rằng việc xây dựng lý thuyết khoa học bắt đầu bằng bằng chứng cơ bản, thô sơ về khả năng quan sát đơn giản, khách quan, không định kiến. Từ những dữ liệu cảm quan này - thường được gọi là 'các cơ sở lập luận' - những khái quát hóa sẽ hình thành. Giai thoại cho rằng từ một loạt thông tin dựa trên thực tế lộn xộn, một lý thuyết có liên quan, có trật tự sẽ xuất hiện bằng cách nào đó. Tuy nhiên, điểm bắt đầu của sự qui nạp là một điều không thể.
D There is no such thing as an unbiased observation. Every act of observation we make is a function of what we have seen or otherwise experienced in the past. All scientific work of an experimental or exploratory nature starts with some expectation about the outcome. This expectation is a hypothesis. Hypotheses provide the initiative and incentive for the inquiry and influence the method. It is in the light of an expectation that some observations are held to be relevant and some irrelevant, that one methodology is chosen and others discarded, that some experiments are conducted and others are not. Where is, your naive, pure and objective researcher now?

E Hypotheses arise by guesswork, or by inspiration, but having been formulated they can and must be tested rigorously, using the appropriate methodology. If the predictions you make as a result of deducing certain consequences from your hypothesis are not shown to be correct then you discard or modify your hypothesis. If the predictions turn out to be correct then your hypothesis has been supported and may be retained until such time as some further test shows it not to be correct. Once you have arrived at your hypothesis, which is a product of your imagination, you then proceed to a strictly logical and rigorous process, based upon deductive argument — hence the term ‘hypothetico-deductive’.
F So don’t worry if you have some idea of what your results will tell you before you even begin to collect data; there are no scientists in existence who really wait until they have all the evidence in front of them before they try to work out what it might possibly mean. The closest we ever get to this situation is when something happens by accident; but even then the researcher has to formulate a hypothesis to be tested before being sure that, for example, a mould might prove to be a successful antidote to bacterial infection.
G The myth of scientific method is not only that it is inductive (which we have seen is incorrect) but also that the hypothetico-deductive method proceeds in a step-by-step, inevitable fashion. The hypothetico-deductive method describes the logical approach to much research work, but it does not describe the psychological behaviour that brings it about. This is much more holistic — involving guesses, reworkings, corrections, blind alleys and above all inspiration, in the deductive as well as the hypothetic component -than is immediately apparent from reading the final thesis or published papers. These have been, quite properly, organised into a more serial, logical order so that the worth of the output may be evaluated independently of the behavioural processes by which it was obtained. It is the difference, for example between the academic papers with which Crick and Watson demonstrated the structure of the DNA molecule and the fascinating book The Double Helix in which Watson (1968) described how they did it. From this point of view, ‘scientific method’ may more usefully be thought of as a way of writing up research rather than as a way of carrying it out.
