- Synopsis
- This book spotlights and demystifies under-researched elements of research design to support successful research initiatives undertaken by students in African universities.This volume marks a significant and important departure from research design books rooted in European and American socio-cultural context and places emphasis on contextual realities in Africa. Attending to socio-cultural oral and written methods of eliciting data from participants, contextual sampling techniques, oral and third-party open ended survey instrumentation, and multi-pronged data analysis schemes that emphasize ontological, epistemological, and axiological findings, these chapters constitute a novel and much-needed focus on realities and examples from the continent of Africa.Written by African scholars, the book will appeal to post-graduate students and early-career scholars and researchers with interests in research methods across the social sciences.
