[@lillyrose6568]

This is my favorite video so far that explains these concepts. I'm not sure if this would be the easiest video to start with, but it clearly summarizes all of the main points after being introduced to them elsewhere!

[@rosetran5177]

So awesome! In less than 15 mins, you clarified what my professor had been trying to for the last 3 months. Thank you so much

[@soilofk]

same here! new subscriber :)

[@diane5140]

Agreed!

[@raqibmahmud7952]

Thanks KIllam. You've made the best videos on this complex topic. The best part about your video is unlike others you've made the connections of these concepts much clearer.

[@vickymarchington5226]

It is a real skill to be able to explain what appears to be complex concepts into a format that simplifies and explains each so that they become clearer and I can start to understand them. Thank you!!

[@NurseKillam]

You're very welcome!

[@DearProfessorRF]

Perfect. This is the most clear explanation presentation among all the videos I’ve watched. Your Pretzi is impeccable and easy to follow.

[@edennehy]

This description of a complicated topic is an example of 'profound simplicity' in action - as a lecturer this is the goal I aim to achieve in my teaching practice - congratulations to you!

[@NurseKillam]

You are welcome. That is my goal.

[@evanclark5275]

I really needed to understand this for my upcoming class of Theory of International Relations. Thanks a lot! You may have just saved me from a horrible start of this college year. Many thanks from Holland.

[@NurseKillam]

I'm happy it helped. Good luck in school!

[@amugsgame9936]

+NurseKillam I just have a question with regards the theistic moral argument, NurseKillam. Many theists tend to assert the existence of an objective morality . I've heard them say that it is a proper basic belief for people to affirm the existence of objective morality....to know that moral rights and wrongs exist. However, they insist on immunising their moral ontology from any sort of epistemological attack. They claim that how we come to know what these specific moral truths are is a separate issue and irrelevant to the ontological claim that moral rights and wrongs(objective morality) exists. But honestly, I find this problematic for this reason : What justification would somebody have for believing that a moral realm exists if they hadn't come to know specific moral truths. Surely, the coming to know moral truths has to precede the affirmation of objective morality, no??Which leads me to this conclusion....surely they have to validate their epistemological framework first, before they can justify their ontological claim?? What are your thoughts??I mean...I could flesh out the whole argument for you if you are not familiar with it and show you where I think it fails. But in some ways, you would have to agree with my query in the first paragraph. Perhaps, you will have to show me where I am going wrong!

[@ushareifsnider916]

Thanks for this. It gives me a place from which to establish my own research and also be able to engage with other paradigms.

[@NurseKillam]

+Usha Reifsnider you are welcome. That's awesome to hear.

[@fatmakhalid9183]

Amazing explanation. Cant thank you enough!

[@Ahmedmukhtar55]

Very clear and to the point. Thank you:)

[@NurseKillam]

I'm happy to help. Let me know if you need anything else explained. Also, if you happened to buy the book I'm interested in your thoughts about it.

[@rillu29ify]

one word - brilliant

[@PhilosophyOnIce]

That is good to hear

[@ariesyoutube3075]

Clear explanation

[@NurseKillam]

Thanks for the feedback

[@angelikaa5500]

Can you please help me to understand. Which type of research I can implement in my thesis Project Management if I can't adopt a methodology method such as interviews and questionnaires. Thanks

[@randeepkg8990]

This is so useful! I have wrestled with these concepts for a while but this video really clarified and simplified what can be made to feel so complex. I particularly like what looked like a mind map of the concepts - is there any way of that being shared? Thank you!!

[@NurseKillam]

I'm happy you liked it. I created the mind map style in Prezi. I think I can share it. I'll need to look for sharing the options. Please email me at [e-mail] to remind me and so I can email it to you.

[@encyclolearning8661]

Excellent..

[@Faraaz00723]

Hello there. I really liked the video. Also if you don't mind me asking can the ebook be downloaded for free??

[@dazeblack56]

I'm doing a study on how Jamaican can be promoted as a sport tourism destination. what frame work or theory would i use?

[@jabrifahad]

Very interesting vedio, you made it very simple as possible; however, i still need more comparison between constuctivisim and post-positivism.

[@NurseKillam]

Thanks. Have you seen this video? It may help. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mJPamKVpiaqJi6c

[@paulharris3000]

In love and in politics, truth is agreement... In human affairs, consequence enforces objectivity, but semblance runs the show...

[@HawreKoyi1]

Well done! very clear introduction into the basic, that is what I needed. Thank you very much.

[@NurseKillam]

+HawreKoyi1 Thank you for letting me know! I am happy it helped.

[@terencenxumalo1159]

good work

[@BoulderingInMountains]

Thank you so much for such a clear and simple expiation, I want to read your book but somehow I could purchase your e-book from China, where can I buy your e-book? any suggestion?

[@ddu1331]

Examples for each paradigm would be helpful in understanding your point. Very abstract

[@LanceWinslow]

Love it.

[@NurseKillam]

Great!

[@Wild_Untamed]

Reminding me DK's Big Ideas Simply Explained series Books. 👌👍Share some infographics if any.🙏🙏

[@linyuliao3417]

Thank you very much! Very informative and clear! I'm puzzled what we can do with these '-isms'? How can wen use them in theses?

[@NurseKillam]

The terminology isn't always used in a thesis but understanding them helps you understand why you make the decisions you do in your proposal.

[@linyuliao3417]

I see. Thank you very much!

[@harpreetsingh-nw8vc]

Very nicely explained sis. What is your opinion on statistical tools available to study qualitative research

[@barbarablackman3742]

How is it possible to know if an article is research before reading the article. Are there clues in the introduction?

[@Enolu]

Thank you again so much for your time in making these brilliant videos. Please would you be kind enough to do one on 't-testing' and 'chi-squared' testing? I don't know if you have already done one, but if you have, would you be kind enough to point me in the right direction? Thank you very much for considering! Best wishes,

[@NurseKillam]

You are welcome. I don't have a video specifically about those tests yet but I have added it to my list for December or January. In the meantime +statisticslearningcentre might have one.

[@NurseKillam]

I do have one on normal distributions. It's number 5 in this playlist kzbin.info/aero/PLs4oKIDq23Ac8cOayzxVDVGRl0q7QTjox

[@georgesalazar2523]

Thanks for the phone connection

[@cheekymarkymark]

I love the vidoe. Is there a hard copy of the book?

[@spyrosbonatsos2272]

Just got the book - thanks

[@NurseKillam]

Awesome. I hope you like it :)

[@spyrosbonatsos2272]

NurseKillam The video is also excellent as well. Question: what is the relationship of a paradigm with the theoretical or conceptual framework ?. Do you have any video on theoretical/conceptual frameworks? Thank you for all of your work.

[@NurseKillam]

I do have a video on concepts, models and theories. It is in the research playlist on my channel. Paradigms are views of reality that would guide how one sees the relationships in theoretical or conceptual models.

[@spyrosbonatsos2272]

NurseKillam Thank you for your reply. Very useful links. Something more - in your book and in your videos, you do not mention anything about pragmatism. Why? Thank you

[@NurseKillam]

Because it isn't something that is covered in our BScN program. I can do something separately but my to do list has some other priorities on it right now so it would take a while.

[@ReeAmor]

Thank you ! I wish that my textbook this clear . lol

[@kaaa111]

Can you do a video on integrative studies please?

[@asmanoreen7632]

Thums up. May God bless

[@aashutoshmule]

Your videos are helpful in understanding research philosophy. I wanted to read your ebook, but the amazon page your link directs to, says that the book is unavailable. Please help!

[@NurseKillam]

Maybe try googling it. It is also on Google play. I will look into this.

[@sanneman7220]

Very interesting and concise video. I'd like to buy the ebook, but I don't have a Kindle reader. Is it readable on other devices as well, such as the Kobo or is it kindle only?

[@NurseKillam]

Thanks. I believe it it readable on other devices but I'm not familiar with the file formats that they all use. The PDF is for sale on Google. I know that works on computers and most devices.

[@zahrahirji5911]

Epistemology relates to our understanding of what counts as knowledge and how knowledge is constructed. True or false?

[@mustafamokhtar2454]

the e book is not available for purchase in amazon!

[@nwad76]

I am in a PhD for Education. Would your book be applicable/relational to that field?

[@cinovsky]

Great video, can i use it for my teaching?

[@NurseKillam]

Of course! That is what I do too ;)
