Hi Mike,
Thanks for the link. Interesting reading.
What was the new knowledge that you derived from your research?
How did you prove it is valid and an accurate explanation of the phenomenon?
How do you use it to predict for the future in a way that others can test
its validity?
Best wishes,
Terry

Subject: Re: Yes, there is a (single) scientific method
Within the cross-disciplinary fields of design and education I chose action
research as my methodology for the pragmatic reason that I wanted to improve
my teaching and enhance the learning of my students. No other methodology
would have suited this objective. But rather than hiding the methodology in
the closet as Terry is perhaps suggesting, it was central to the
investigation. If anyone is interested in having a look, follow the url:
