Is replicability necessary in the production of knowledge? Discuss with…

- - - - RLE: Mendel's Law of Inheritance
  - - - RLE: Photo 51
  - - - Researchers and students may or may not be in the same scientific community, due to their vast difference in knowledge acquired by them. So, they have different
- - - - RLE: Stanford Prison Experiment
  - - - RLE:
  - - - What are some of the behaviours of a person that may differ when human scientist were to conduct an experiment for the production of knowledge?
- - - - how can we measure the result that is obtained to be similar to one another?
        
        if involving measurement, statistics can be involved
    - - what is the acceptable difference that can be considered to the statement "same trend of data"?
    - - methods and tools
      - the environment
      - the type of people involved in the process
        
        Does this mean that knowledge production is only applicable to a particular group of knowers?
        
        yes, if the specific knowlege production requires a great amount of knowledge in a specific field - more professional than others
      - precision of the measurement
      - time
        
        With the involvement of technology in production of knowledge, how can it affect production of knowledge from a long time ago, say 50 years ago?
  - - - rather than knowledge production, it can actually be classified as knowledge innovation
    - - How much can the methodology differs in order to have the replicability for the production of knowledge?
        
        the highest probability will be that the methodology CANNOT differ that much from the original
        
        But what are the specific methodology that is needed to be the same, in regards to human science and natural science?
      - Can general methodology of the procedure for the production of knowledge be considered, apart from the methodology needed to be specific to a certain topic?
    - - since it is about "production", it can be concluded that it is for new knowledge only
    - - Depend on the type of knowledge produced
        
        For example, a scientific knowledge must be produced in a laboratory with a practical, rather than in theoretical sense
      - But does the production is the main thing to look at when reviewing an experiment, as the result is sometimes more important?
  - - - If major role:
        
        Without replicabilty, the production of knowledge may be due to chance, which is unreliable
        
        With replicability, we can say that the knowledge produced is reliable as it can be
    - - it will affect the reliability of the knowledge as not a lot of people can recreate the process for the production of knowledge that requires certain degree of similarity
    - - does replicability comes to mind first and foremost when the production of knowledge is planned?
        
        yes, so that the result of the knowledge is not because of chance that it happened to be obtained and produced
      - who constitutes what is necessary and what is not necessary in any part of knowledge production?
