Abstract

The chapter is divided into six sections. The first and second sections expose readers to the origin of social constructionist philosophy and the reasons behind its emergence respectively. The third section discusses the key tenets of the social constructionist philosophy based on ontology, epistemology, axiology, methodology, and rhetoric. A comparison of social constructionist and other methods is done in Section 4, and Section 5 addresses the unique characteristics of ideal qualitative projects. The chapter is concluded by a question and answer section where important questions about the research philosophy are suggested and answered.
