The concept of research philosophy entails a scheme of beliefs and assumptions held regarding knowledge creation and development. According to Creswell (2009), the philosophy or paradigm constitutes a worldview. In aggregate, it constitutes of a collection of beliefs regarding the manner to which data of a phenomenon ought to be collected, analyzed and utilized. The primary aim of science is to transform the things that are believed to exist to things that are known, that is, doxa to episteme. The
Chapter 2 Review of the Related Literature The review of the related literature focuses on the acquired psychomotor skills through deductive teaching approach. It focuses on the students acquired psychomotor skills in laboratory activities using deductive teaching approach those are physical perspective and mental perspective. It also focuses on the factors that enhance psychomotor skills of students those are lecture, demonstration and execution. Sex In this study sex is considered because there
9.1. Research Epistemology The researcher should concerns what constitutes acceptable knowledge in a field of study (Saunders, Lewis and Thornhill, 2012, P.136).In this research study is to evaluate the relationship between two market strategies base on existing theories and case study, therefore, the realism has been selected which assumes a scientific approach to the development of knowledge. Moreover, there is two type of realism, direct realism and critical realism, the latter one will be conducted
A research paradigm could be considered as a framework based on people´s philosophies and assumptions about current knowledge. The paradigm guides how research should be accomplished and there are mainly two fundamental paradigms that are used; positivism and interpretivism (Collis and Hussey, 2014). Positivism is associated with deductive theory and quantitative methods whereas interpretivism is associated with findings being derived from qualitative methods. This motivates the reason to choose
Charmaz 2000). At that time, research was greatly dominated by a positivist research paradigm. Hence, most of the research conducted was quantitative and deductive in nature, and driven to test rather than develop theory. Despite this trend, Glaser and Strauss flexibly allow their study to be influenced by both Glaser's preference for quantitative approach and Strauss's perspective in symbolic in interactionism (Charmaz 2008). In contrast to the mainstream practices of a deductive method, Glaser and Strauss
3.3Research approach There are basic two approaches that can be utilized by the researcher for his study. The two types of approaches are Inductive and deductive approach. The deductive approach depicts the portion of the cycle in which creation of abstract concept directs to ‘concrete experience’ by way of empirical observation (Gill and Johnson, 2002). Saunders et al, (2003) argues that this approach is utilized to hunt for informal relationships that exist between the variables by assuming a hypothesis
Research has considered both deductive reasoning tasks and inductive reasoning tasks. The distinction between deductive and inductive reasoning is that whereas with deductive reasoning the conclusion is certain, with inductive reasoning the conclusion is highly probable but not necessarily true. Deductive reasoning entails problems for which a normative solution is available, namely that required
Research methodology Methodology provides a feasible solution to the problems being addressed in the research, being a critical element of research. The effective methods of research should be well recognized by the researcher to conduct a quality research. Different ways of data collection as well as selection of adopting method for researched is addressed by a part of research methodology according to (Gill and Johnson, 2002). Research methodology also plays a significant role in conducting research
specific end goal to achieve solid results of research study. In the meantime, mixed research strategy unequivocal exploits making utilisation of numerous approaches to viably investigate a recognised research issue. The methodology is portrayed by accumulation and additionally examination of quantitative information that is essentially trailed by social occasion and investigation of qualitative research information. The primary reason in mixed research methodology to break down qualitative results
in whether to embrace and use principles and guiding procedures of the natural world where positivism dominates in the epistemological consideration. This method has a considerable influence onto social scientist, in promoting the status of survey research and the quantitative analysis (Atkinson and Hammersley,
