Getting to know the process - topic: music
Situate THE Approach
There are specific disciplines with long-held paradigms that use their own ways of knowing to understand phenomena, collect and analyze data or information, and generate new understandings. In order to situate your research project (to know where you are going), you must be aware of your own way of know and how it connects (or disconnects) with the discipline's way of knowing pertaining to your topic of inquiry. Additionally, to align your approach with the discipline of your topic of inquiry, you must be aware of the type of knowledge that is valued, the methods to get to that knowledge, and how that new knowledge is reported within a discipline.
