Ontology: what is real?
Epistemology: how do you know?

[@amante2443]

You can't know what is real, but if you really want to finish your research you must move to philosophical pragmatism. Which is why this video is so pragmatically perfect when taking on such a troublesome trivium. Because in reality, the truth is what sounds the most right to the people making a judgement and marking your answers on a paper. That's what I believe I believe but I don't really know.

[@audioliquor]

This is like the 5th time I'm watching this. Basically every time before I have to write sometime for my doctorate. LOL Thank you so much.

[@TheLonelyPanther]

😂 same situation here too

You are welcome - I'm glad it is useful :)

[@lillysky9889]

Me too 😂😂

Thank you for making me feel normal :D

What a simplified explanation of such complexed terms n phenomena. I spent many hours to understand it but this video just solved my queries. Thank you

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

You are very welcome :) I'm glad you found the video helpful.

[@patiencedensu7234]

You have no idea what this video means to me. God bless you, you are a real teacher

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

Thanks :) I'm glad you found it useful!

[@onyimablessingnonye7840]

These three have been the devil's concepts since my academic life. Thanks for deconstructing them with simple words.

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

You are welcome :)

[@upsydaisy...3130]

Wow! Amazing! how nicely you have expounded us . I have spent many hours just to grasp the these basic philosophical concepts. You have really simplified. Your job is commendable. NO doubt. You are an excellent teacher. God Bless you. Don't forget to share the similar concepts and things with us.

[@khizranwani4021]

Excellent! I was never clear about how paradigm emerge in research , this video made it simplied.

[@pratimagurung5383]

God, this Ontology and epistemology had so much confusion in my head. I thought I would never be able to get out of that mess in my head. I just cannot thank Dr. Lynetter for this life-saving video. Besides, the clarity I am now able to see how Ontology and Epistemology connect the choice of research paradigm. Love and respect from Kolkata, India.

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

You are welcome. I am glad you found it useful :)

[@NiekVink]

Lynette, I take my hat off. To explain such complex theory in a 3 minute clip is an amazing achievement. Thank you so much, this video helped me a lot to understand this theory!

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

Thanks :) I'm glad you found it useful!

[@shovamaharjan8169]

I WAS PUZZLED FOR DAYS AND HERE I GET IT NOW, SIMPLY AMAZING VIDEO FOR RESEARCHERS , HATS OFF TO YOU

[@calvinchau9391]

Best video ever! I've spent hours reading numerous texts while scratching my head (literally), but you've helped me understand the terms in less than 3 minutes. Greatly appreciated!

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

You're very welcome!

[@poppypopsable]

Simple clear and easy to understand - a great start for a new PhD student. Thank you

The most simplified and easiest to understand explanation of these key words. Thank you for making it so easy to understand.

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

You're very welcome!

[@rlei327]

awesome... your 3 minutes video is a saviour!

[@iftikharshahid5071]

A brief and very comprehensive explanation of something that is mostly presented to be too complicated for a researcher to understand; my gratitude and thanks with lots for prayers for you! Stay blessed.

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

:) I'm glad you found the video useful!

[@ndinapaulus5683]

Best simplified definitions of these complex concepts! My mind was about to explode trying to grasp the meaning on my own. Thank you so much

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

You are very welcome :) My other video lists the ontologies and epistemologies of common paradigms if that helps further clarify your thinking: czcams.com/video/yMtbIEMuQ0c/video.html

[@zeeshankhan-xg5tz]

Simple and to the point. I really finally understood these concepts. Now next thing is understanding with examples. Hope you may consider for future lectures.

[@rahaam5421]

Such an amazingly simplified yet comprehensive presentation!!!

SO EASILY EXPLAINED THAT I SPENT WEEK IN UNDERSTANDING

[@snevilakazi3097]

WoW!!! saving lives here--crisp and simple explanation Thank you!!

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

You're welcome! :)

[@Longhairedvato]

OMG Thank you. Doctoral student here -this is key to our work yet this is so inadequately taught and it is spoken of as in assumption in academic training.

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

You are welcome. I'm glad it helped you understand the complex concepts. My other video lists the ontologies and epistemologies of common paradigms if that helps further clarify your thinking: czcams.com/video/yMtbIEMuQ0c/video.html

[@richardedward123]

I spent years in grad school struggling with these three concepts. Of course, this was before CZcams. 3 minutes versus years. Excellent tutorial. Thanks.

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

You are very welcome, I am glad it helped! :)

[@srutikanasaha4100]

Thank you so much! Finally I understood the concept of Ontology and Epistemology.

[@dharmashekhar1047]

You are a genius in simplifying a complex concept. Research students will agree with that. This video must be made compulsory for all introductory sessions in research methods.

[@LynettePretoriusMonash]

I am glad you found the video useful :)

[@asfour27]

simply an excellent video.. thank you so much!
