QUESTION: Define “scientific research” in your own words by answering the following:
What does research mean? What does research hope to achieve? Why do we need scientific research? (As much as possible, use your own words and description to explain your understanding.)
Yoong Yuen Tung:
As far as I know, scientific research means to find out the facts and truth step by step. There is no short cut for us to discover the facts other than follow the series of method. Besides, research means to find out the information about an issue and what it hopes to achieve is helping people to solve their problems and questions. I personally think that we need scientific research because we can get the answer that we want more accurately after using a proper way of doing research.
Wong Shu Faye:
Scientific research to me is a planned out procedure, featuring a series of steps in researching. Where the 'scientific' word comes into place, is when the outcome is based on logic and facts that has been proven by experiments and observation. This research is used to help people to gain a better understanding of the issue or the subject, and also clarify the facts that have been stated accurately. Scientific research is needed because it goes through proper steps in researching, rather than just going through the subject in a vague manner.
Sum Ming Ming:
Research
means sort things out and analyze what is real. We can get answers and
solutions for our questions by research. Research is needed so that we can get
to know more information and improve.
Edwin Thiang:
Research is a form of activity or way that people use, in order to find more details or to conduct a deeper investigation regarding an issue. Research is also done in hopes to enable people to have a better understanding and knowledge on a certain topic. Scientific research is needed so that certain theories and conclusion that have been stated or created through studies, can be used by researches to prove or clarify certain issues, topics or investigations.
Cedric Sim:
Based on my understanding, the definition of scientific research is that a set of procedure and rules are followed when carrying out a scientific experiment. A more thorough explanation would be research that is carried out that obeys a set of already set protocols and long established rules or structure.
Pearl-Lyn:
The term 'research' could mean many things. In this case, research could mean an analysis, an experiment or even an investigation. Research is something we do to fulfill our questions with an accurate answer. Research is also done to improve one's self and learn about something in more detail. In addition to that, research is also done when a person wants to feel accomplished about one's work.

Very good answers, especially when most of you touched on the aspect of "procedures" and a "set of methods" as what defines scientific research.
