“我真的很想做一项调查”或者“让我们进行一些访谈”对于一个研究项目来说可能听起来是合理的切入点。然而，至关重要的是，研究人员在选择数据收集方法之前，要审视他们的哲学假设以及支撑其研究问题的那些假设。哲学假设与本体论（即现实的本质）以及认识论（知识的本质）相关。研究人员的世界观（即本体论和认识论）与方法论（研究方法）以及方法（具体的数据收集、分析和解释工具）的一致性是高质量研究设计的关键。本期《要点解读》将解释定量和定性研究设计之间的哲学差异以及它们如何影响严谨研究的定义。
‘‘I’d really like to do a survey’’ or ‘‘Let’s conduct some interviews’’ might sound like reasonable starting points for a research project. However, it is crucial that researchers examine their philosophical assumptions and those underpinning their research questions before selecting data collection methods. Philosophical assumptions relate to ontology, or the nature of reality, and epistemology, the nature of knowledge. Alignment of the researcher’s worldview (ie, ontology and epistemology) with methodology (research approach) and methods (specific data collection, analysis, and interpretation tools) is key to quality research design. This Rip Out will explain philosophical differences between quantitative and qualitative research designs and how they affect definitions of rigorous research.
