Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 5
Abstract
The study examined different research methods and their role in knowledge creation. Secondary sources were used to obtain information to support the arguments. Results show that no matter what research method or methodology was used knowledge was yielded. Both cognitive social and discursive perspectives yielded knowledge in their own way. Thus researchers should feel free to use any research method for knowledge creation and appreciate that knowledge created by each method was unique. Keywords: cognitive, discursive, hermeneutic traditions, language, subjective, constructive, experiments, knowledge..
