      ABSTRACT

      In Chapter 4 it was emphasised that in qualitative research it is rarely ever sufficient or proper in making selections about the adoption of research approaches to make those choices upon methods-level decisions based upon ‘technical accuracy’ or ‘instrumental procedure’. Rather, it was stressed that the choice of approach in most qualitative research settings necessarily involves investigators making their decisions at a foundational or methodological level where ontological concerns of being, meaning and identity are taken in concert with epistemological concerns of knowing. Thus, the preceding chapter underscored the point that ontological craft is fundamentally a situationally creative effort to use forms of reality-aware and context-appropriate ‘human instrument’ understandings to uncover ‘the real cultural world’ of the individual realm or the societal spectrum being explored.
