Significance of the study to practice
An assumption is a realistic expectation, which is something that we believe to be
true. However, no adequate evidence exists to support this belief
An assumption is an act of faith that does not have empirical evidence to support it.
Assumptions provide a basis to develop theories and research instruments and
therefore influences the development and implementation of the research process
Assumptions are statements that are taken for granted or are considered true, even
though they have not been scientifically proven
They are principles that are generally accepted as true based on logic or reason but
without proof or verification
Clarify Assumptions:
Any set of research questions imply that the researcher has some hunches about it /
some assumptions hence the need to investigate it.
It is useful thus to set out these assumptions right at the beginning and allow the
findings to refute or confirm them later.
