Document Summary
Who is the expert: we presume people are experts because of their titles. What knowledge counts: objectivity, relies on data, distance between the researcher and the object of study, subjectivity. The greater the distance, the better the k(cid:374)o(cid:449)ledge that"s being produced. How do we produce knowledge: qualitative research methods, naturalistic inquiry, we study what it is we want to study in its natural setting, very subjective, e. g. , observation, interviews, fieldwork. Interpret phenomena in terms of the meanings people attach to them: quantitative research methods, use of statistical or mathematical analyses of data, counting to know the amount, very objective, e. g. , polls, surveys, questionnaires, mixed methods. On what is knowledge based: objective of the mind, rational, subjective of the body, emotional. Mind-body dualism: foundation for biomedical model: mind body dualism. Idea that the mind and body are split: two distinct substances and natures, the mind is perceived as more superior to the body, mind: thinking, immaterial, body: unthinking, material.
