Table 1 Philosophical and Theoretical Perspectives and Their Implications for Research 43 Worldview Element Postpositivism Constructivism Critical Pragmatism Ontology—nature of reality One reality that we can strive to measure Multiple perspectives, individual realities, that we can strive to represent Political and social reality Reality may be objective but truth is contestable Singular and multiple realities, depending on topic Epistemology—the theory of knowledge embedded in the theoretical perspective and thereby the methodology (Crotty, 42 p. 3), the relationship between the researcher and that being researched (Plano Clark, 43 p. 24) Knowledge can be objectively found, from the data, through impartial methods Researchers and participants are an active part of the creation of knowledge Knowledge created collaboratively involving participants; knowledge affected by power relations and in need of continued revision, reconsideration, questioning Collect data depending on “what works” to address a particular research question Axiology—role of values Unbiased Biased Biased Negotiated Multiple stances Methodology—the strategy, plan of action, process, or design behind the choice and use of particular methods, which link the choice and use of methods to the desired outcomes (Crotty, 42 p. 3) Deductive, predictive, controlled, explanatory (e.g., experimental design; survey research) Inductive, understanding, meaningful, naturalistic, descriptive (e.g., grounded theory, ethnography, narrative) Participatory, emancipatory, gives voice to the voiceless (e.g., participatory action research) Combining, addresses the question through appropriate means (e.g., mixed methods) Language—how the research is presented at academic meetings and in scholarly journals Formal Informal—literary, analogical In terms of advocacy and change, social, political Formal or informal Methods—the techniques used to gather and analyze data Questionnaires, statistical analyses Interviews, focus groups, naturalistic observation, writing, document review Case studies, focus groups, participant observation, photovoice Both quantitative and qualitative methods Adapted with permission from Creswell and Plano Clark.
