Knowledge, Science And University

The first understanding is the knowledge that is formed in human beings from the moment of their first contact with the existence. Systematized information is considered as scientific knowledge. Scientific knowledge is produced through methods such as observation, experimentation, measurement, and mind.  Scientific information can explain the event or entity function in the most convenient and acceptable way. In this respect, the basic characteristics of scientific knowledge are that it is universal, testable, criticized and falsifiable. Scientific knowledge can only be produced in the scientific environment and in the researches of scientists who know and apply meticulously the methodology of science and respect ethical principles and values.
