This study is multi-site mixed method case study that will employ a Concurrent Triangulation Mixed-Method design. Using a multisite mixed methods approach, the study will strive to appraise selected peri-urban settlements situated on the fringes of Port Harcourt. 3.1.1 A Multisite Mixed Methods Approach A Multi-site case study investigates a defined, contemporary phenomenon that is common to two or more real world or naturalistic settings (Bishop, 2010). A multisite mixed methods approach is the
Whereas qualitative methodology as per Punch (2013) has opened a multidisciplinary space that invites professionals of diverse disciplines (sociologists, anthropologists, physicians, nurses, psychologists, social workers, public relations, etc.) so far from being a drawback brings a great wealth in the production. However, as per Maxwell (2012) it also causes a number of perverse, such as the great variability in how to tackle the effects analysis: imprecision and confusion of concepts, multiplicity
Method and methodology The qualitative and quantitative methodologies derive from their respective scientific philosophy or paradigm. Each paradigm has its own ontology and epistemology. The ontological position states how the paradigm perceives the reality and the epistemology is concerned with the nature of and the scope of knowledge (Slevitch, 2011). This, the logic of justification, not only differs between the qualitative and quantitative paradigm but is opposites (ibid). The ontology of
This case of ‘Minimum wages and employment’ is used to define a law for minimum standard wages to labor whom work on fast-food restaurants. On April, 1992 New Jersey's minimum wage had increased from $4.25 to $5.05 per hour that had raised the questions to the industry of the food restaurants where many authors have described their approach of wages and employment by following the quantitative research method. This research method assisted them to reach on the conclusion of various researchers statistical
1.8.3 Qualitative research Creswell (2003) defines qualitative research as an enquiry useful for exploring and understanding a central phenomenon. The phenomenon in this study is the PD programmes of a case study school. To know more about this phenomenon, the researcher asked the teachers, both specific and open-ended questions in order to understand their perceptions. From the data, I as the researcher will interpret the meaning of the information by drawing on teachers’ perceptions and past research
two, a qualitative method and a quantitative one. This can be seen as a conventional classification, somewhat of a distinction which can be helpful to writers but at certain instances may also be misleading. Many students and scholars come to realise in their studies, that they are not fully aware of the distinction arising between these two research methods. A common mistake is thinking that these two terms are identical and may be used in an interchangeable manner, but this is not the case as is
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
Chapter 3 Methodology In public health research, there are two specific paradigms or design. It could be a qualitative or interpretative design or a quantitative or positivist design. These designs direct the kinds of literature review and the direction to take in the research process.(Greenhalgh, 2001). Following my research questions, the qualitative design is a good design to use. The qualitative design is empirical; it observes what people in a population feel about a particular condition. It is more

to the problem in hand. In this research approach the researcher used small sample from the population and evaluate them in detail to understand the view of the sample as representative of large population (Saunders, Lewis, & Thornhill, 2009). The interpretivism theory played important role to produce end results from the collected data. In this research the researcher interacted with the environment but also looked for to make sense of it
