The Scientific Method is a foundation of all scientific inquiry, providing a structured approach to exploring and understanding the natural world. In the field of parapsychology, where researchers investigate phenomena that often challenge conventional scientific understanding, adhering to the principles of the scientific method is particularly crucial. This module delves into the core principles that underpin rigorous scientific research, offering insights into how these principles apply to the study of the paranormal.

At its heart, the scientific method is about forming hypotheses, conducting experiments, and analysing results to draw conclusions that can be tested and verified by others. In parapsychology, this process is complicated by the elusive and often subjective nature of the phenomena being studied, whether it be extrasensory perception (ESP), psychokinesis (PK), or postmortem survival. The principles explored in this module are all essential tools for ensuring that research in parapsychology is conducted with the highest level of integrity...
