The Refractive Thinker©: Research Methodology

Thank you for joining us for Volume II to celebrate the accomplishments of these contributing doctoral scholars: Dr. Elmer B. Hall, Dr. Edward F. Knab, Dr. Cheryl A. Lentz, Dr. Dee Cortner, Dr. Barbara Turner, Dr. Neysa T. Sensenig, Dr. Gail Ferriera, Dr. Judy Fisher-Blando, Dr. Linda Wing. The purpose of this anthology is to offer a glimpse into the scholarly works of these authors, specifically within the world of research methodology. The purpose is to provide a resource that is beyond the boundaries of a textbook regarding the doctoral dissertation. Part I for example is a Delphi Primer—three different author’s interpretations and application of the Delphi Method—all unique, all within the vein of The Refractive Thinker® where each challenged the conventional wisdom and expanded the traditional boundaries. These authors dared to not just think outside of the box. Instead the box continues to evolve into exploring nearly entirely new ideas for the construction of ‘the box’ i.e. the applicable methodology. Along the same lines, Part II includes elements of the Mixed Methodology, Part III: Qualitative Techniques, and Part IV includes Quantitative Techniques. The last section, Emerging Methods, builds upon this refractive thinking® by offering an entirely new research methodology for consideration. www. RefractiveThinker.com
