in research, you need to gather information before you can go on with other procedures while in problem solving, all information you need is given in the problem
A Practical Problem
Suppose you're walking along a street one day when a practical problem confronts you. A quick solution to the problem doesn't come to mind. Your search for a solution to the problem motivates you to look further into the topic in hopes of resolving the problem.
You may not have thought of it this way before, but research usually grows out of a practical problem facing someone in the real world.
To solve your practical problem, you first have to think up a relevant research problem about the topic and then solve that research problem. Learning the answer to the research problem will let you understand how to resolve the practical problem.
Practical vs. Research Problem
Someone once put it this round-robin way:
Thinking about a practical problem motivates a research question which defines a research problem which finds a research answer which helps to solve the practical problem.
At first glance, you may think that the difference between a practical problem and a research problem is like splitting a hair. However, the difference is crucial.
A practical problem happens in the real world. It costs you something in time, money, happiness, etc. You'll solve that problem by doing something to change something out there in the real world.
A research problem, on the other hand, starts in your mind when you don't understand something.
Propose a Research Problem
To solve that real-world problem, you first must propose and solve a research problem. Of course, we're not always aware we are posing and resolving a research problem when we solve a practical problem.
Here's an example: Suppose you're a politician running for re-election. A right-to-life organization is pressuring you to oppose abortion. You ask yourself, "Will I lose if I don't?" You take a poll. You discover, "My constituents support abortion rights." Now, decide whether to reject the right-to-life organization's request.
Before anyone can resolve a practical problem, a research problem has to be posed. Of course, solving the research problem doesn't automatically solve the practical problem.
You don't change anything in the real world when you solve a research problem. Rather, solving the research problem allows you to learn more about something or come to understand something better.
The knowledge gained from solving the research problem is applied toward finding the solution to the practical problem.
Here's another example: We would like to solve the practical problem of the AIDS epidemic. Medical researchers first must solve a research question about how the virus' mechanisms work. But, even with that problem resolved someday, governments will have to apply that knowledge in solving the practical problem in society.
Good vs. Bad Problems
The word problem often is taken to mean something bad. Actually, a researcher needs a good research problem to work on.
Also, it's easy to confuse a problem with a topic. A topic is something to read up on while a problem is something to solve. On the one hand, when we read up on a topic we just pile up more and more information or data. On the other hand, the search for a solution to a research problem lets you focus your work and bring it to an appropriate end.
You can become frustrated while writing a report about a topic. You'll have too much information and no focus. You won't know what to include and what to leave out. By contrast, a well-defined research problem will let you focus on an appropriate piece of the broad topic.
Pure vs. Applied Research
Academic writers often don't say straight out how their research work will improve the real world. Rather, they show how not understanding one small thing prevents us from understanding a piece of something bigger. In other words, they don't make clear how the solution to a research problem has an application to a practical problem.
When stating a research problem, you list the topic, the question and the rationale. The consequences you list in the rationale statement reveal whether you are doing pure research or applied research.
Clarifying the Problem
Would you believe most researchers begin their work not completely certain of what their problems are? Often, just clarifying a problem is a major result in itself. In fact, some very good research papers do nothing more than pose an important new problem in search of a solution.
How can you bring your problem into focus?
the scientific method involves experiments on specimens or samples, while the research covers all branch of research, be it experimental or historical

What does the scientific method in human services
The scientific method requires precise observation and reasoning, and intellectual discipline, and honesty. The non scientific method is something you make up to suit yourself, and therefore, it could be anything you choose.
research method is the steps,procedure and means used in collecting data whiles research tool is the technique used in research
scientific is science and unscientific method is not scientific
I am not sure sorry.

A research method refers to the approach or technique used to conduct a study, encompassing procedures for data collection, analysis, and interpretation. On the other hand, a search model pertains to a theoretical framework that outlines the process by which information is retrieved and selected in a search process. While research methods deal with the overall research design, search models specifically focus on information retrieval processes.
Research design is a blueprint or panning for research work and research method is an action or tool to make the plan success,
A recipe is a list of ingredients with instructions but a scientific method might be an hypothesis of what the recipe of the dish is.

research design is the blue print showing the structure of the research process, while research method is the means of gathering evidences for a particular research design.

scientific method is the accepted standard of research methodology.
