5. SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
Scientific knowledge is obtained
in a rational way, seeking

application of procedures
rigorous (methods and techniques).
SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
✔Scientific knowledge is obtained in a way
rational, seeking to lead the truth through
application of rigorous procedures (methods and
techniques).
✔It is made known through training, with a method
own guiding the truth.
✔It is characterized by being factual, systematic, verifiable,
built step by step and although it is fallible it is
approximately exact. Scientific knowledge
it is neither absolute nor eternal, it is always provisional.
KNOWLEDGE
SCIENTIFIC
The objective of
scientific knowledge is
broaden knowledge,
understand phenomena and
contribute to your
solution, thus creating the
harmony in humanity
and with nature.
SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE
●Science relies on tools, such as the
method and the object, to achieve your
objectives.
●Method is a whole set of
procedures that allow reaching
certain conclusions.
●Objects are aspects studied by the
different sciences.
SCIENTIFIC METHOD
SCIENTIFIC METHOD
● The scientific method consists of studying a
phenomenon in the most rational way possible, of
way to avoid deception.
● The scientific method always seeks evidence and
evidence for the ideas, conclusions, and statements, or
still, set of approaches, techniques, and processes
to formulate and solve problems in acquisition
objective of knowledge.
● The scientific method is used in science as
production of knowledge, as a procedure and
way of acting.

observation of reality

needs to go from data to theory as much as

CONCEPT
SCIENTIST
The analysis of the scientific concept takes place through
of three acts of procedure:
Break
Construction
Verification
BREAK CONCEPT
Break, like the very SCIENTIFIC
word indicates, implies
break with the
prejudices and the false
evidence, that only
they give us the illusion of
understand the
things. The rupture is the
first constitutive act
do procedure
scientific.

SCIENTIST
2. CONSTRUCTION
Mental construction allows you to visualize the
necessary operations and the consequences that
then it may come. The propositions must be the
product of a rational, well-founded work
in logic and in a conceptual baggage
validly constituted.

SCIENTIST
3. VERIFICATION
In the verification, it is the
assignment of the statute
scientist through the
observation, of the analysis
of information.
CONCLUSIONS
● Scientific knowledge is important as a way
to prove and make the facts true;
● In scientific knowledge, there is no subjectivity;
● Even if it is provisional knowledge, it is
important for the individual for them to
understand what surrounds you in a clear way,
objective and coherent thus disconnecting from
ideas made based on ideologies.
● The main problem of scientific knowledge is
disconnecting from rules and values to move towards
the scientific method.
