“…All the teacher participants perceived and understood the use of visual aids on a similar note. None of them deviated or differed widely in their perception of visual aids from one another [77][78][79][80][81][82][83]. All the participants expressed their perspectives of visual aids based on experiences in teaching and the following themes emerged [84][85][86][87][88][89][90].…”

This paper examines the perceptions of teachers on the use of visual aids in student learning. The qualitative case study approach was used as a research design. Five school teachers were interviewed for the study. The data were collected through the use of semi-structured interviews. The findings of this study further support the existing literature and the previous research. The study revealed that teachers had positive perception about visual aids. They perceived visual aids as one of the crucial and significant tools for teaching and learning. Evidences from this study suggest that teaching becomes more effective and easier for teachers through the use of visual aids. The study revealed some of the problems faced by the teachers in using modern visual aids. The participants in the study clearly pointed out erratic and unreliable internet connection as a barrier to the use of ICT in teaching –learning process. The study also found out heavy workload of teachers as one of the impending factors in the preparation of visual aids in their lesson.

“…After outlining the standard model in which philosophical stances inform methodological decisions, they also describe an alternative model in which methodological decisions can inform philosophy. The authors also detail how initial decisions will provide greater or lesser restrictions on decisions that follow, since some combinations are incompatible (Hathcoat et al, 2018). For example, if researchers decide to collect data through a randomized-controlled trial, it would be unwise to then attempt to ground the study in phenomenology.…”

“…These findings suggest that the standard model of the research process may not be fully comprehensive. Hathcoat et al (2018) make a notable contribution on this point. After outlining the standard model in which philosophical stances inform methodological decisions, they also describe an alternative model in which methodological decisions can inform philosophy.…”

“…If philosophical assumptions are unavoidable (Plano Clark & Ivankova, 2016;Greene & Hall, 2010;Hathcoat et al, 2018), when authors do not report their philosophical commitments, this is likely to bring negative consequences. It can be challenging to judge the quality of individual studies and compare the findings of different studies when the foundational assumptions are unknown (Greene, 2006;Harrits, 2011).…”

The Prevalence of Philosophical Assumptions Described in Mixed Methods Research in Education

Philosophical arguments are expected to provide the foundation of research and should be mentioned when reporting research. This study explores the presentation of philosophical assumptions in 1,026 mixed methods research (MMR) articles from the field of education. Eighty-one papers (7.9%) provided philosophical commitments, and 31 distinct stances were claimed. Philosophy was presented with different roles, including that philosophical stance can direct the decision to use mixed methods or result from that choice. This article contributes the field of MMR by highlighting an oversight in the reporting practices of the MMR community. Possible causes for the findings include weaknesses in research education and knowledge. Alternative models of the research process may be required to accurately match descriptions of research practice.

“…In terms of the philosophy of knowledge, we need to import the role of the constructs of ontology and epistemology. Ontology entails the object of investigation while epistemology entails the stance toward the meaning and process of obtaining knowledge (Hathcoat, Meixner & Nicholas, 2018).…”

The strategic management literature has put a lot of emphasis on the role of intelligence in the strategic management process. However, the available literature has not been thorough in outlining the role and the potential outcome of the deployment of business intelligence. Majority of the researchers have looked at the direct relationship between business intelligence with specific reference to competitive intelligence with performance. The purpose of this paper is to review the extant literature on competitive intelligence so as to highlight its role in the different phases of strategic management process as well as the emerging phenomenon of the adoption of competitive intelligence in a firm. The authors have integrated the extant literature on competitive intelligence with that on strategic management process. The paper reviews extant conceptual, theoretical and empirical literature and raises diverse issues that present a case for a new theoretical model suitable to extend the current understanding of the phenomenon brought about by the deployment of competitive intelligence. The paper raises implications for theory and practice and suggests a theoretical model suitable to guide future research.
