So, today's tutorial is all about discussing the decision making building blocks of a Research Design. We will focus on the differences between Ontology, Epistemology, Axiology, Rhetoric Structure & Methodology.

Well structured. They would have been perfect if you just slowed down a bit.

[wala]

Thank you very much this was helpful. My question is can I adopt interpretivism philosophy and abductive approach to provide a better explanation and not just rely on the interpretations?

[biancatheron]

Thank you for sharing! very helpful. Could you kindly share sources that can be sited on the info shared?

[anujjagtap]

Can we do interpretivism research without conducting any interviews, that is based only on secondary sources?

[debbiesteel]

Thank you for a great tutorial! It might be a silly question but can I use two philosophical paradigms in my research e.g. Constructivism and critical? Thank you.
