1a - What is research.pdf
1a - What is research
● Research is a process.
● Research has to be planned. It does not happen by accident.
● Facts and data are not necessarily the same as knowledge.
● Description is not the same as an explanation.
● Research must be robust and rigorous. It must be capable of withstanding criticism and
challenge from individuals and organisations who may not agree with the methods used
or the findings produced.
Four key aspects of research quality in social sciences:
1. Reliability
2. Validity and credibility
3. Generalisability and transferability
4. Ethical practice
1b - Knowledge, theories, paradigms, and perspectives.pdf
Information = knowledge gained through study, experience or instruction: what we are told.
Understanding = Grasping the meaning of information.
Interaction and social relationships depend on language
Ontology = What is there to know? The science of what is, of the kinds and structures of
objects, properties, events, processes and relations in every area of reality.
Epistemology = The theory of knowledge and how we know things.
Natural sciences = The study of the physical world and associated phenomena, including
such disciplines as chemistry, physics, etc.
Social phenomenon = Anything that influences or is influenced by human beings who interact
with and are responsive to each other.
