I am carrying out a study to explore the role of the environment of a long-term care home on older persons living with dementia. The participants of the study will be will be relatives of older persons living with dementia. I will carry out interviews to explore their perspectives and thematic analysis for data analysis.
I need help identifying the worldview/paradigm + ontological/epistemological approach that I will be adopting. How can I identify the theoretical framework that I will be adopting?
Hi Francesca, in conducting research, the theoretical perspective is tested. Researchers do not "prove" a perspective. Working with your mentor/dissertation committee, decide on a theory and justify it. Then, conduct the research and in the analysis, "test" it against the results.
Here is a great resource, Francesca. https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1058505.pdf
