dc.description.abstractThis book spotlights and demystifies under-researched elements of research design to support successful research initiatives undertaken by students in African universities. This volume marks a significant and important move way from research design books rooted in European and American socio-cultural context, and places emphasis on contextual realities in Africa. Attending to socio-cultural oral and written methods of eliciting data from participants; contextual sampling techniques; oral and third-party open ended survey instrumentation; and multi-prong data analysis schemes that emphasize ontological, epistemological, and axiological findings, these chapters constitute a novel and much-needed focus on realities and examples from the continent of Africa. Written by African scholars, the book will appeal to post-graduate students and early-career scholars and researchers with interests in research methods across the social sciences.
