What does it mean to have an integrated philosophy in research?
What will be an ideal response?
Many scholars are beginning to advance mixed-methods approaches to research that rely on both philosophies. We argue that there is value to both positivist and interpretivist philosophies and that there are good reasons to prefer an integrated philosophy. Researchers influenced by a positivist philosophy should be careful to consider how their own social background shapes their research approaches and interpretations, just as interpretivist researchers caution us to do. Researchers influenced more by an interpretivist philosophy should be careful to ensure that they use rigorous procedures to check the trustworthiness of their interpretations of data (Riessman, 2008). If we are not willing to ask hard questions about our research and the evidence we collect, we are not ready to investigate the social worlD.
