MNM RESEARCH™
Short answer
MNM RESEARCH™ publishes research questions and hypotheses before any result. Both flagship programs are at proposal stage: no data collected, no efficacy claimed.
MNM™ is a structured educational method developed by Daniel Abdallah and taught by MNM ACADEMY™. The hypotheses published here concern possible mechanisms, relationships to be tested or measurement questions related to its study, not the existence of the method. Teaching observations are not results produced by controlled scientific protocols.
MNM RESEARCH™
The path an MNM proposal must travel before it can be asserted.
Observation
A phenomenon is noticed in a teaching context, without standardised measurement.
Hypothesis
It is restated as a testable, falsifiable claim and published as a hypothesis.
Measurement
Candidate objective indicators are defined before any data collection.
Comparison
The approach is compared with a documented reference practice.
Validation
Only a measured, described and reviewable outcome may be called a result.
UNDER STUDYMNM RESEARCH™ programs currently sit at steps 1 to 3. No study has been carried out and no result is published.
Program A
Research question, MNM research hypothesis, unknowns, proposed proof-of-mechanism study and candidate measures. Status: research hypothesis on the mechanism under study; proposed protocol, not yet evaluated.
Research hypothesis on the mechanism under study — proposed protocol, not yet evaluated
Program B
Research question, MNM research hypothesis, unknowns, proposed protocol and candidate measures. Status: research hypothesis on the mechanism under study; proposed protocol, not yet evaluated.
Research hypothesis on the mechanism under study — proposed protocol, not yet evaluated
Every statement published by MNM INSTITUTE™ is explicitly labelled. Three levels are distinguished: MNM™ is a structured educational method of body education; a teaching observation describes what is noticed while teaching and carries no evidentiary value; a research hypothesis concerns a possible mechanism, a relationship to be tested or a measurement question, and does not put the existence of the method itself in question.
