Product Description
Choosing a research method can be bewildering. How can you be sure which methodology is appropriate, or whether your chosen combination of methods is consistent with the theoretical perspective you want to take? This book links methodology and theory with great clarity and precision, showing students and researchers how to navigate the maze of conflicting terminology. The major epistemological stances and theoretical perspectives that colour and shape current social research are detailed and the author reveals the philosophical origins of these schools of inquiry and shows how various disciplines contribute to the practice of social research as it is known today.
Reader Reviews
This review is from: Foundations of Social Research: Meaning and Perspective in the Research Process (Paperback)
This is an outstanding book for people embarking on any type of research, even people using 'scientific method'. It is useful to both first time and more seasoned researchers. As a reader of the book and being relatively new to qualitative research, what stood is both the depth and clarity of thinking and the reasoning for the position held. The book provides the most useful framework for making sense of what research can be, depending on what is being sought to come out of a piece of research. The framework does not claim to be the only schema by which to make sense of the research process, in so doing it provides for ambiguity and overlaps in thinking. The schema has multiple entry points, thus no matter what your starting point, a clear position can be established. I have recommended the book to several first time research colleagues who have all found it to be really useful too. It is an easy read, but each re-read yields further useful understanding and leads to follow up. It is not just a must read, it is a must have!
