What's the scientific way of learning from mistakes?

Question

I need to know the scientific way of thinking to learn from mistakes we do

Answer 1

The scientific method is, when faced with a question, to take a guess at a likely answer ("form a hypothesis"), try to think of ways to prove that answer wrong, and try those ways out. If none of the ways you (or your colleagues) can think of do prove your guess wrong then you have a bit more confidence in your original guess.

So where can you make mistakes in that? Well, the most common one -- and the one that really marks out pseudoscience -- is instead of looking for things that prove your hypothesis wrong you actually go looking for things that prove your hypothesis *right*. The answer to that is simply learn the difference and don't do the wrong one!

The more subtle error is to overstate the confidence that the experiments have given you. There may be flaws in the experiments, there may be other explanations of the results.  Most scientific "mistakes" are cases where scientists have confidently announced a result that hasn't been justified. There are techniques that can help with that (Bayesian statistics, for instance), but ultimately it's a question of learning the careful way of expressing results that scientists use.

Answer 2

LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES.

As simple as that.

Answer 3

Once it;s verified that  mistake has been made; think about the process taken.  Follow that by studing choices taking you in the wrong direction; by doing this in the future the same mistake can be avoided.

Answer 4

By mistakes, you know what to undo and what not to do again. Then you already know what to do. In science, it is called experiment; in life, it is called lesson.

Answer 5

Trial and error?
