Pragmatism as ontology and epistemology

Ontological and Epistemological Position This research is grounded in a  pragmatic paradigm , which embraces methodological pluralism and foregrounds the research question as the primary driver of methodological choices.

(p.35) (Javadi and Zarea, 2016) Thematic analysis (TA) is one of the most common forms of analysis in qualitative research ( 1 ). ·          1, Guest GM. KM and Namey, EE Applied Thematic Analysis.
