Assumptions in Qualitative Research
|
Individuals create their own reality. The knower and knowledge are interrelated and interdependent

A single reality exists and it can be discovered by reducing larger questions into their component parts Objective inquiry and analysis are possible and one can eliminate bias in an investigation |
|
