Описание

Research is "creative and systematic work undertaken to increase the stock of knowledge". It involves the collection, organization, and analysis of information to increase understanding of a topic or issue. A research project may be an expansion on past work in the field. To test the validity of instruments, procedures, or experiments, research may replicate elements of prior projects or the project as a whole. The primary purposes of basic research (as opposed to applied research) are documentation, discovery, interpretation, and the research and development (R&D) of methods and systems for the advancement of human knowledge. Approaches to research depend on epistemologies, which vary considerably both within and between humanities and sciences. There are several forms of research: scientific, humanities, artistic, economic, social, business, marketing, practitioner research, life, technological, etc. The scientific study of research practices is known as meta-research.Assessment may refer to: Health assessment, identifies needs of the patient and how those needs will be addressed Nursing assessment, gathering information about a patient's physiological, psychological, sociological, and spiritual status Psychiatric assessment, gathering information about a person in a psychiatric or mental health service Psychological assessment, examination of a person's mental health by a professional such as a psychologAssessment (journal) (ASMNT), a psychology journal Educational assessment, documenting knowledge, skills, aptitudes, and beliefs Environmental impact assessment, assessment of environmental consequences of a plan Library assessment, to learn about the needs of patrons Risk assessment, determining value of risk related to a concrete situation and a recognized threat Survey data collection, marketing assessments Tax assessment, determining amounts to be paid or assessed for tax or insurance purposes Vulnerability assessment, identifying, quantifying, and ranking vulnerabilities in a system Writing assessment, examining practices, technologies, and process of using writing to assess performance and poteExam (disambiguation) Examination (disambiguation) Types of assessmentDistance is a numerical measurement of how far apart objects or points are. In physics or everyday usage, distance may refer to a physical length or an estimation based on other criteria (e.g. "two counties over"). The distance from a point A to a point B is sometimes denoted as | A B | {\displaystyle |AB|} . In most cases, "distance from A to B" is interchangeable with "distance from B to A". In mathematics, a distance function or metric is a generalization of the concept of physical distance; it is a way of describing what it means for elements of some space to be "close to", or "far away from" each other. In psychology and social sciences, distance is a non-numerical measurement; Psychological distance is defined as "the different ways in which an object might be removed from" the self along dimensions such as "time, space, social distance, and hypotheticality. Education is the process of facilitating learning, or the acquisition of knowledge, skills, values, morals, beliefs, and habits. Educational methods include teaching, training, storytelling, discussion and directed research. Education frequently takes place under the guidance of educators; however, learners can also educate themselves. Education can take place in formal or informal settings, and any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. The methodology of teaching is called pedagogy. Formal education is commonly divided formally into stages such as preschool or kindergarten, primary school, secondary school and then college, university, or apprenticeship. In most regions, education is compulsory up to a certain age. There are movements for education reforms, such as for improving quality and efficiency of education towards relevance in students' lives and efficient problem solving in modern or future society at large, or for evidence-based education methodologies. A right to education has been recognized by some governments and the United Nations. Global initiatives aim at achieving the Sustainable Development Goal 4, which promotes quality education for all.Causes, or causality, is the relationship between one event and another.
