Theoretical Foundations

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

How we understand and explain the world largely depends on our experiences and the expectations and presuppositions that attend them. In science, this phenomenon is known as “theory-dependent observation.” Futures researchers can produce high-quality work only if they keep in mind the importance of theoretical models for science and research.
