We use the phenomenological approach as a way to interpret data that we observe from several different religions. For example we can use phenomenology to look at what different religions define as sacred and compare them all to come up with an outline of what has to occur and what the requirements are to call something sacred to a religion. Kelsay and Cunningham describe the sacred as, “an abstraction, a concept that allows us to group together and consider a number of different things.” (Cunningham and Kelsay 26) this means that there needs to
Ontology Before Epistemology Terry Higginbotham Grand Canyon University Christian Worldview and Contextualization HTH-655 Dr. Scott Hovater June 16, 2014 Ontology Before Epistemology Throughout history, there has been continual debate and controversy around how a worldview is formulated. Philosophers have advanced numerous theories and conjectures on the formulation of a worldview. Many believe it starts with ontological inquiry; a basic question about the structure and nature of the world that leads to the realization that something is there. This view differs from others who believe that knowledge is acquired through knowing and inquiry (Vasilachis de Gialdino, 2009). They believe that the reality of being is not required for knowledge or its pursuit.
Research design have to consist of the logic and structure inherent in any particular approach to data gathering. There are two types of validity those are: those that limit the certainty that internal interventions caused the changes in research findings,which is called internal validity, and those that affect the ability of researchers to generalize the research
Assessment methodology Learners can enter the types of evidence they are presenting for assessment and the submission date against each assessment criterion. Alternatively, centre documentation should be used to record this information. STANDARDS 1 Understand the context of supporting skills for everyday life 1.1 Compare methods for developing and maintaining skills for everyday life 1.2 Analyse reasons why individuals may need support to maintain, regain or develop skills for everyday life 1.3 Explain how maintaining, regaining or developing skills
While reading Thomas Paine’s The Age of Reason, it is apparent that one can question their true faith and where their beliefs really come from. From Paine it brought many questions of my loyalties lie and where my faith comes from. Throughout life, from time to time, questions of what is true from the Lord can be muddy. With this writing, there are many contradictions, false facts, and inconsistent thoughts. Paine’s main thesis discussed in the writing was his open mindedness for others to accept other religions and not blindly follow other people with that they believe.

The equation E + C = P stands for epistemology + canon = paradigm. Epistemology here is known as the standard of knowledge for a person, society, or whatever the paradigm rears to. It is the justified belief or explanation of human phenomena. Within this equation, canon stands for the law or procedure of the same society, or belief system. Paradigm, the end of the equation, them becomes the model, or the standard.
With that being said, all experimental designs that are gauged as being truthful, must have a hypothesis statement at its core structure. And this should be the main focus of the experiment. Hypotheses can be obtained by a number of ways where certain observations lead to the formation of a theory. In a nutshell, hypotheses are research problems that are usually the result coming from a question or questions that are asked about a particular subject or topic. Furthermore, hypotheses must be testable by means of using if statements to make a point.
Outline of the Toulmin Model I. Claim—assertion, thesis, conclusion to be established A. Contains topic plus controlling idea B. Signaled by words like ought to, must, it is essential II. Grounds—evidence, reasons, support A. Deductive--premises from which a claim is derived B. Inductive—sample, experiment, observation III. Warrants—why the reasons support the claim; principles or assumptions A. Deductive—meanings of terms, parallel argument B. Inductive—representative sample C. A generalization of why the evidence supports the claim. IV.
Ethical issues: ethical concerns relate to the right of participants in research. An appropriate methodology is required when conducting research to endure those results and any conclusions drawn are: * Reliable * Valid * Authentic Authenticity – Research aims to add new knowledge and understanding either by: * Generating new data. * Interpreting or applying existing knowledge in a new way. Research is based on the principle that the researcher is a natural observer of a phenomenon and does not distort or alter the observations made of the natural world. Validity – validity depends on what the claims are made about a piece of research and how well the claims are supported by the evidence or result from the research.
