A worldview is “a basic set of beliefs that guide action” (Guba, 1990, p.17). According to Creswell, each researcher brings a worldview to a study. How do individuals develop their worldviews and how might these worldviews affect research design?
What will be an ideal response?
Researches develop their worldviews based on their personal background and histories, through disciplinary orientations and research communities, advisors and mentors, and past research experiences. The worldview might affect the types of research design we choose. For example, as a social scientists, I value people’s experience and stories. Thus, I might embrace more of a qualitative research design that utilizes one-on-one interviews.
