- Summary:
- This guide considers the terms "knowledge" and "research," which are central terms in relation to academic and wider investigations. The argument herein discusses, compares, and contrasts the everyday and commonplace understandings of these two terms with the possibly more specific and technical deeper interpretations and understandings that are developed within academic contexts.The connection of more searching definitions of knowledge and research with wider terms and literatures such as "learning" are also considered. As part of this more intensive scrutiny, the discussion also considers the nature and role of epistemology, ontology, and axiology. In turn, the above more evolved understandings are related to the process of overall research design.
