FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this collection of original articles, three new strategies for doing research - postpositivism, critical theory and constructivism - challenge scientific positivism, long the reigning paradigm. In more than 30 chapters, these new strategies are examined and compared on issues such as: whether research can be conducted between paradigms; whether each paradigm is equally useful in answering questions of applied research; what constitutes good or ethical wotk within each paradigm. Unsurprisingly, there is no agreement on a best paradigm, but the significant issues in selecting the proper paradigm for a variety of research questions are fully aired.
