 "A Tale of Two Paradigms: The Best and Worst of Times for Quantitative and Qualitative Research

 By

 Dr. Gülçin GÜLMEZ

Date: June 6 2017, Tuesday

Time: 14:30-15:00

Place: D126 

Abstract:  It was the epoch of numbers, It then was the epoch of narrations; And there came the ex-ante epoch of the clash of two titans: Quantitative and Qualitative research methods. 

This seminar will initially but briefly describe Positivism and Post-positivism as the two paradigms that housed quantitative and qualitative research methodologies. The session will then flow with a specific focus on the essentials of either method and then compare and contrast the virtues of each. Just like a 101 Introductory course, the seminar will serve as a compact statement on the “where”, “what” and “how” of two methodologies.
