Blog Post #2- Research Ideologies ( Post Positivism, Constructivism, and Critical Theory)
BLOG POST #2: Take some time to make sure you have a general sense of these different research ideologies. Where do you feel most aligned in these research ideologies? Then reflect on how these frameworks might shape your approach to one of the questions you pondered in your blog last week. (“If I were to take a post-positivist approach, I might answer my question this way….

Why is upper management not considering what isn't working for the company?
If I take a Post-Positivist research approach, I might generalize about ways to improve the company instead of being specific, such as "This company needs an upgrade," instead of expressing precisely what is not working and what needs improving.
If I take a Constructivist research approach, I might suggest some of the issues I see that need improvement for the company during our monthly staff meeting. As a constructivist researcher, I see upper management as having a mutual understanding with staff and suggestions to improve the company. It's about working together; knowledge is co-constructed. If the CEOs and administration work with the people doing the work, the suggested changes will make a massive difference in the company.
If I take a Critical Theory research approach, I might research what will work best for the youth at the club and advocate for positive changes that will affect the youth and the time they spend at the club.
