[@fridayagbenyo2617]

Thank you for this! Can I ask if a research proposal is limited to a pilot study? If yes, at what point should the p-value come in-during pilot study or the more wider research stage after the pilot study?

I have missed u here in this channel!!🤗

[@themanofgod8770]

Making your research philosophy align with a certain, pre-established, philosophy. Seems to me, like a recipe for skewed results

[@GradCoach]

As mentioned in the video, it's more about identifying what your underlying philosophical position is, and then making sure that your choices are aligned. Each philosophy will have it pros and cons, but alignment across all your methodological choices remains essential.

[@themanofgod8770]

@@GradCoach I agree; however, how the point was presented in the video, could allow one assume, their results must match a certain philosophy, instead of the versa
