RESEARCH AND SCIENCE
Research
Is a process of gathering data to prove a claim, test existing
hypotheses, and find answers and solutions on pressing problems at
hand.
It generates knowledge that aims to describe, explain, and predict
events.

RESEARCH AND SCIENCE
Informal Research
It is a research that does not follow procedures and it relies more
on casual observation and opinions.
The results of this research process become more susceptible to
scepticism even though the research generated answers to
questions.
Science
Science is embedded to the process of informal research to be more accurate
and beneficial.
It is conceptualized as a procedural and systematic approach in gaining new
knowledge by making thorough observations and using controlled and
precise methods.
Knowledge gained from science is not based on subjective or personal
views; it rather comes from objective or tangible pieces of evidence which
come from a meticulously designed research study.
