a.Postpositivism
b.Positivism
c.Postmodernism
d.Phenomenology
In phenomenology, understanding is the goal of science, with the objective of recognizing the connection between a person's experience, values, and perspective . It maintains that each individual's experience is unique, and there are many interpretations of reality. Postpositivists accept the subjective nature of inquiry but still support rigor and objective study through quantitative research methods. Like empiricism, positivism supports mechanistic, reductionist principles, where the complex can be best understood in terms of its basic components. In postmodernism, knowledge is viewed as uncertain, contextual, and relative.
