AN ATTEMPT TOWARDS THE APPROPRIATE METHODS FOR QUALITATIVE RESEARCH
Abstract
An analysis of research process indicates that it comprises in combination, the following elements: creative mentalities, properly defined problems, semantic problem –solving procedures, and certain types of possible solutions. All these elements are necessary and sufficient. Therefore, the most efficient relative utilization of each will make for the most desirable research procedure in any given application. The purpose of this paper is to discuss possible principles to be used in arranging these elements in an efficient manner, which will be useful in comprehending the present practice and the future of research. It should be noted at the start that these principles, intuitively and deductively inferred from an investigation of the characteristics of the research elements are to be considered tentative; the implication is not that they are necessarily invariant in research, but that the elements from which they stem are the same within any reference frame.
