After reviewing this week\u2019s resources, explain, in your own words, the differences between constructivist and post-positivist approaches to research. In particular, include the following in your written analysis:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Identify and document constructivist\u2019s views.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Identify and document <\/span><\/span>post-positivist\u2019s <\/span>views.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Provide an example of a study (other than that given by Mertens) that uses a constructivist approach. (You can use examples from a study you have come across in previous courses)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Provide an example (other than that given by Mertens) that uses a post-positivist approach. (You can use an example of a study you have come across in previous courses)<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Reflect on these two approaches. Do you think the approaches are antagonistic (i.e., you can only believe in doing research one way and not the other) or are the approaches just different ways of answering different research questions? There is no right or wrong answer for this. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    References: Use as many references as you need to support your assignment. <\/span><\/p>\n


    <\/span><\/p>\n

    Length: 2-4 pages, not including title and reference pages<\/span><\/p>\n

    Your assignment should demonstrate thoughtful consideration of the ideas and concepts presented in the course by providing new thoughts and insights relating directly to this topic.
