Educational Research Methods

Research is attractive if clear illustration is made between conceptual and theoretical frameworks-and this book deals precisely with that distinction. Beginning with a clear explanation of both natural and social sciences, this book describes how traditions and similar concepts have been depicted in non-scientific knowledge. Illustrating philosophical assumptions of knowledge, we explore concepts such as epistemology, ontology, axiology and sociology, later introducing social science concepts such as positivism, post-positivism, feminism, and postmodernism. Using a clear explanation of science, including the explication of both natural and social sciences, this meticulously researched and clearly presented work tackles the questions around social sciences research with care and precision.
