We define the experiment as the moment of scientific research in which theories and hypotheses are put into practice in order to observe their results. The experiment, a word from Latin that means ‘to test’, is precisely the mechanism that is developed to verify, verify or correct the postulates of the hypotheses that have been created.
Normally, when talking about experiment, one tends to think of scientific laboratories as well as tests and chemical tests in which test tubes and test tubes are present. Although this is largely true (since the experiments have to do in large part with hard sciences), it is also possible to carry out other types of experimentation, as happens when the task deals with social, cultural or economic phenomena, among others. . In these cases, the experiments will be other types of observations that can be more or less debatable and for which there is no specific answer as there is in natural experiments.
All this proves to us that the moment of experimentation is not simply something exclusive to some sciences, but rather that, regardless of the type of study to be carried out, the object of study or the purposes of the researchers, experimentation is a central part of the process in its set. The results obtained after experimenting once or repeatedly are what will allow those responsible to establish new ideas as well as modify them or continue working on them until they find the most perfect version.
To carry out an experiment, it is always important to have a prior experimental design or project that establishes, among other things, the main objective of the experimentation, the hypothesis to be confirmed or refuted, the methodology to be followed, the resources to be used, the spaces in those who carry out such experimentation and the specific way to interpret the results.
