alternative ways to develop the concepts
(theories) that allow us to get closer to
understanding of reality:
The inductive method
Deductive method.
Induction: It is a way of reasoning that
takes us:
a) From the particular to the general.
From a part to a whole.

The deductive method is a method
scientist who considers that the conclusion
is implicit in the premises. Therefore,
assume that the conclusions follow
necessarily to the premises:
if the deductive reasoning is valid and the
premises are true, the conclusion
it can only be true.

The process of inductive inference consists
in showcasing how the events
particulars (variables) are connected to
a whole (laws).
Deductive inference shows us how
a general principle (law) rests on a
group of facts that are the ones that
they constitute as a whole.
Induction starts from observation
exact of particular phenomena, the
deduction of the inherent reason of each
phenomenon.
The induction reaches conclusions
empirical findings drawn from experience,
deduction establishes logical conclusions.
For example, when you investigate an accident, if
you get involved and arrive moments after that
it happened and you take notes, photos and you are attentive to everything
the details, then it is inductive because it
you get fully involved.
Now if you investigate it through the news,
newspapers, what you hear on the radio and from there you take
conclusions, so it is deductive because
you are outside the research area.
