What are the differences between the terminologies? Where do they overlap. I often get confused with some of them, being a research student.
Hi Rasheed,
The attached chapter may assist. While aimed at nursing and midwifery scholars - the principles are generic.
This is quite a long list. The first thing I would do is separate the most abstract concepts (philosophy and paradigm) from the most concrete (technique and method). In particular, techniques and methods are procedures for collecting and analyzing data.
In addition to the contribution by Prof Morgan, I wish to add that research design is the organisational approach that is to be used in prosecuting any research.
That approach embraces the steps necessary for achieving the goal of the research. It therefore calls to play knowledge of research methodology and all the other terminologies in the lengthy list in the question.
