Research Style
13. With which of the following statements do you most strongly agree? ____The aim of research is prediction and control. ____There are multiple realities, all of which can only be imperfectly understood. ____Knowledge construction requires a dialog between researchers and participants. ____Participants should be involved as co-researchers so their voices can be heard.
14. With which of the following statements do you most strongly agree? ____Research can make the world a better place, particularly for the disenfranchised. ____The knowledge, beliefs and customs of a group shape or are directly linked to their behavior. ____The aim of research is to objectively discover reality. ____Knowledge is created, not discovered.
15. With which of the following statements do you most strongly agree? ____Knowledge is relative or local to a specific context. ____Reality can only be imperfectly understood because of the inevitable subjectivity of the researcher. ____Differences of opinion are not really possible among collaborators. Knowledge accumulates and you work until you get it right. ____Knowledge is socially constructed and reality is shaped by historical, social, political and cultural factors.
