An approach to research viewpoints and traditions in education
Main Article Content
Abstract
This paper provides guidance and reference material to researchers interested in both research approaches and research traditions to carry out investigations in education. We present a theoretical framework about quantitative, qualitative and mixed research approaches. In addition, this document reviews some research traditions such as action research, participatory action research, case study, and ethnomethodological research.
