- hypothesis should experiment and verify.

- hypothesis should experiment and verify.
- You may think you “get it” when you are studying, but when you try to solve a problem, you may not be able to solve it.
- We don’t know if we really know unless we experiment and verify it. - Okay” is a hypothesis.
- Plan ahead and take action,
- Consider the consequences of your actions,
- Go correct the results,
- We will continue to work through this cycle to advance our business.
- Scientific research is similar.
- Hypothesis.
- Experiment.
- Consider whether the experimental results are as expected.
- Opportunities when expectations are different, revising hypotheses
- hypothesis → experiment → Discussion of Results → Revision of Hypothesis
- Same with studies.
- Understanding is a hypothesis
- Act on your understanding.
- I thought it would work and it didn’t = I got a different result than I understood.
- This is your chance to correct your understanding.
- Learn quickly by turning this cycle in small steps.
- For example, if you are programming
- If you suddenly write a program with thousands of lines of code, try to run it, and then say, “It didn’t work! Then, it is too late to learn.
- It is more efficient to learn by repeating the execution of a small, one or a few lines.
- If it were a business, we would create, release, and verify a minimum number of products to verify “there are customers who want this.
- What was the first product that Dropbox released?
- They did not create a product. They made an instructional video and placed a pre-registration form.
- Dr. Kawachi:.
- If it were a one-shot entrance exam without a final review, we’d be in trouble.
- That’s why we test frequently.
- Make the first step smaller. Make the cycle smaller.
- Exactly, however, “I thought it would work, but it failed” is important.
- Failure is an opportunity to learn.
- That’s why we often give quizzes.
