Chapter 1
1. The study of how knowledge, reality and our existence as human beings evoke questions
about who we are, what we know and how we experience the world around us is known as ...
1) ontology.
2) paradigm.
3) philosophy.
4) epistemology.
2. This underpins philosophies and denotes a certain way of doing something; it is an example
or pattern that establishes a “disciplinary matrix [or] the practices that define a scientific
discipline at a certain point in time”; it is a construct that represents an archetype of how
professions achieve what they set out to do at a particular point in time; and prescribes what
is acceptable within a community of practice or profession.
1) Ontology.
2) Paradigm.
3) Epistemology.
4) Philosophy.
, 3. The issue or question of how a researcher views "social reality" refers to the … dimension of
social research.
1) objectivist.
2) ontological.
3) theoretical.
4) epistemological.
4. Which one of the options below applies to this statement? This epistemology asserts that the
methods and procedures of the natural sciences are entirely appropriate to the social sciences.
This is informed by the ontological position of objectivism: that reality is out there to be
studied, captured and understood. Research therefore needs to be conducted from a detached,
neutral, value-free and non-interactive position. Researchers therefore only need to follow a
systematic, prescribed series of steps to gather and analyse data.
1) postpositivism.
2) constructivism.
3) pragmatism.
4) positivism.
5. Select the correct terms to complete the following sentences. It is stated in the textbook that:
"methodology is a philosophical and scientifically informed way to solve the research
problem systematically. It is a framework that informs all designs, methods and techniques
that will be used in conducting research from start to end.
(a) ... is therefore the science of studying how research is to be carried out and which
systematic methods are to be followed to solve the proposed research problem.
(b) ... can then be considered as the tools and techniques for doing research and are ultimately
determined by the research design chosen by the researcher. Data collection methods and
techniques of analysis are part of the methodology, and are, in turn, determined and informed
by the research approach, ontology and epistemology.
(c) The concepts of ... are often used interchangeably when referring to sampling, data
collection, analysis and reporting of results. It is important, however, that researchers are
specific about their methodological decisions. This allows for professional practitioners who
are likely to use or replicate the research, to establish its trustworthiness or credibility"
