MNM RESEARCH™

Research: hypotheses, protocols and transparency

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 RESEARCH™

Observation → Hypothesis → Measurement → Comparison → Validation

The path an MNM proposal must travel before it can be asserted.

  1. 01

    Observation

    A phenomenon is noticed in a teaching context, without standardised measurement.

  2. 02

    Hypothesis

    It is restated as a testable, falsifiable claim and published as a hypothesis.

  3. 03

    Measurement

    Candidate objective indicators are defined before any data collection.

  4. 04

    Comparison

    The approach is compared with a documented reference practice.

  5. 05

    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.

MNM™ evidence framework

Every statement published by MNM INSTITUTE™ is explicitly labelled, so that documented science is never confused with an unvalidated working hypothesis.

ESTABLISHED EVIDENCE
Documented by existing scientific literature and broadly accepted in the relevant field.
MNM HYPOTHESIS™
A working hypothesis formulated by MNM INSTITUTE™. Not demonstrated, not clinically validated, presented as a testable direction.
MNM OBSERVATION™
Teaching observation from learning practice. Uncontrolled, not generalisable, not evidence.
UNDER STUDY
An open question addressed by a protocol in preparation or ongoing within MNM RESEARCH™.
MNM RESULT™
A result from a documented MNM RESEARCH™ protocol, with its method, limitations and validation status.
