PARTS OF RESERACH: MATERIALS AND METHODS.pptx

In any research article, the detailed description and process of an experiment is provided in the section termed as “Materials and Method.” The Materials and Method section is also called Method section in few journals. This section describes how the experiment was conducted to arrive at the results.

1. Scientific Writing

2. 1. the first thing that a reader comes across when searching a scientific literature

3. 2 . familiarizes the reader with the background of the study, SOP, significance of the study and the target groups

4. 3. a list in alphabetical order by author, of all the published information that was referred to anywhere in the text of the paper

5. 4 . a summary of past studies that could be connected to the present research

6. 5. a condensed write-up of a technical article  

7. A1Z26 ciper Decipher the given word. Replace each letter with its position in the alphabet ( A=1, B=2, …Z=26) = SPACE

8. Guidelines in Presenting Materials and Methods of Scientific Writing

9. How to write/present “materials” in scientific paper?

10. In this section, describe in sufficient detail of the raw or processed materials utilized in the study ..

11. Include how they were used, what observations were gathered, and how these observations were processed to formulate a conclusion

12. interpreting essentially their meaning and significance in relation to the problem investigated.

13. “Reliability of the research establishes its worth.”

14. How to write the “methods” section of a scientific paper?

15. Findings are often explained in terms of treatments or methods to which the materials or samples have been subjected to. What should be measured is being measured by the methods utilized.

16. What should be measured is being measured by the methods utilized.

17. “Validity of the research is another characteristics needed to establish its worth.”

18. In writing the methodology in the final paper: keep in mind that this is written in the past tense . preferably to use the passive voice . The materials used should not be listed in this section. They are mentioned as the procedure is being discussed in the text.

19. “This study utilized the experimental research method since this was the most appropriate research design for determining the effectiveness of coffee as an alternative ink for highlighters. The gathered data was compared to see if there was a significant difference between the commercial highlighter and the experimental highlighter .”

20. Imagine that you’re writing a paper for a laboratory in which you isolated the caffeine from a cup of coffee. Select the sentence that you would write in the Materials and Methods section of a lab report .

21. a . Coffee is a beverage enjoyed by millions of people around the world every day. b . The second attempt resulted in the extraction of 73 mg of caffeine. c . 200 mL coffee heated to 90⁰C. d . 200 mL of coffee was placed in a flask and heated to 90⁰C.

22. Analyze the following research situation, put a check (/) if the scenario applied the guidelines in presenting and writing “materials and methods section” of scientific research and (X) if not. Justify your answer . (2 points each item)s
