Methodological Ideation
Now that the direction and scope of my project is narrowing down to a project that would be feasible given the time constraints, it’s time to set my sights on the methodological choices that will underpin my research.
During my undergraduate degree we were shown Saunders et al. (2019) research onion to guide the development of our dissertations. So, I decided to go back to my roots as it were and work out the appropriate foundations that would aid me in pursuing my inquiry into the overarching theme.
Next, I explored Quantitative vs Qualitative data traditions and what would be best suited for my research. Because of the nature of my inquiry and question, as I’ve mentioned in a previous post, secondary qualitative data will be what is most appropriate and accessible to begin with– especially as it’s a Prolegomena.
The following two visuals outline my choices and notes.
