I'm taking a doctoral level qualitative research class and you basically summed up in 12 minutes what I couldn't digest all semester. Thanks for the very practical examples to define these terms!
I co-sign all the beautiful sentiments. I am a doctoral student and was struggling with the jargon and terminology. You explained this so well and I am way better with visuals. Being able to rewind and review is so helpful. I immediately purchased your book! I was shocked when someone complained about the price. I think most of us agree it's a steal! Gratitude and blessings! So happy my professor referred us to you!
Why am I just finding this video......OMG I am so thankful. I am struggling in Philosophy and I feel that I was able to understand a semester worth of information in a few minutes.
The way you behave and act as well as talk determines what type of person you are. I spent a little time to understand the concept even if I have attended qualitative class at my PhD undertaking, that's why I still stick to your videos. Keep doing the same. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.
I really needed this breakdown. After a decade in my field, I jumped from a diploma to a Masters program and found myself swimming in the deep end of all this academic jargon. I now have my head above water and feel ready to take it all on. I am truly grateful. Thank you.
This was extremely helpful. I abandoned the course text because it was a bit dense but after your video I have a clear idea as to what the terms mean and how they relate. Now I feel much more comfortable tackling the text again (and my current MSc module assignment)
Wish I had found your channel 3 years ago when I started my bachelor. Ontology and epistemology now suddenly makes sense and I have struggled to grasp those two concepts for a long time
This is awesome, I pray students are able to see and read this presentation before commencing the development of their proposals. Its a saver, thanks so much. Only a nurse can do this, Lol. Very valuable. Thank you.
I recently started my M.Phil and these two terms have become worst nightmare for capability of understanding, until I saw your video! Thank you for making it so clear and simple!
I am taking a post-graduate course, after being out of university for 23 years. I had to watch this twice for it to make sense. Thanks so much for your excellent and clear teaching. Very helpful.
your video came after the video I was directed to watch for our research course and it was like a light bulb being turned on. Now you saved me time and my grade too.
I have spent the past 4 days falling into the self-destructive depths of imposter syndrome... Your video is immensely appreciated in simplifying these concepts - THANK YOU!!
I've been doing my PhD for ten years now and your video finally helped me to make sense of how these four aspects relate to each other. I am so grateful. Thank you so much.
After three months on my PhD and countless hours of reading and philosophy lectures thank you for making this simple and clear! Putting this into basic terms has helped me so much.
As a beginner in social research methods, this video proved to be my saviour. The keywords were simplified in a logical way to ease the pain of grasping new concepts.. thank you so much
Thank You for have done a great guidance! I have been working with designers, researchers, we all are wrong for working on something, but non of us are working on right true ! So I have to take it go deeply why and where are , it is all from the beginning understand what the real is and true is ! Thanks , continue deeply into what you have shared!
Thank you thank you thank you. I have been struggling to understand this within my MSc Advanced Practice. The more I read, the more confused I became. This has been the best spent 12 mins of my research module!
In the middle of writing, my final university research paper and this has helped me so much. I haven't been able to wrap my head around this in class due to my dyslexia and this has finally clicked something in my brain. THANK YOU.
Nurse Killam, this is amazing. I'm doing a PhD and need to justify my Multi-Methods research, I know there is a lot more to it but these explanations are clear, thank you!
Thank you for simplifying these research jargons. This is an awesome lecture, well put together, with all the terminologies clearly linked together progressively.
This is an amazing video. Other lecturers could have spent hours trying to explain what you just did ... you did it in just 11 minutes and made it sound so easy and clear. Thank you very much.
Thank you so much, I was trying hard to understand these 'fancy' words as you call them. The terminologies were really hard to understand but after watching your video I definitely understand.
Superb explanation !!! I have been into research since 2019 and have never understood these terms and concepts the way I did today. You have made it so clear and have increased my love and passion for research. Thanks.😊
Happy I studied philosophy as an undergrad. These ideas were drilled into my mind. Just remember this, everybody has a certain world view, that is, an ontological belief about realty (or something similar). From this world view, which may or may not even be something the person is conscious of, comes all sorts of beliefs about knowledge and truth.
thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You'r a blessing. This has helped me finally understand Ontology, Epistemology, Methodology, and Methods after literally not learning it from my MA program.
Thank you for this. I has REALLY helped me and your book was a godsend in helping me understand the different ontologies and epistemologies that my PhD supervisor was talking about and I was feeling lost and out of my depth because I didn't understand what she was talking about. You have really helped me. Thank you!
Laura, after watching your video's and having bought your eBook I feel confident I can now pass my Medical Radiation Science Research Master's module. You've done a truly wonderful job of laying out the meanings of research terminology in a simple and readily understood manner!
What an excellent and compact video. If I may add, REALISM is almost the same as positivism. It is indeed better for analysis, because one is being objective. But in order to get a full understanding of many complex things, one needs to also use an Emish approach. Especially when dealing with political extreems, cultural aspects in order to answer the "why" questions.
I love how your explanation just beat those from PhD holding professors who wrote books on the subject. Most books I read on the subject used complex language to explain these concepts. Your top down, easy to understand approach was the missing link and I finally understand what all this means.
I love you !!! you are genius ! Brilliant!my teacher spent more than 10 hours explaining these. And I was still so confused what was her points, because she didn't give a clear connection between the whole.I really admire you, not only the content but the design also quite brilliant! THank you very much for your work!!!!
I'm an educational researcher (not in healthcare) and found this SUPER helpful. Thanks so much! I hope you're a teacher / lecturer. The profession is lucky to have you :)
This is brilliant. I had to stop and take stock every now and again but I think I'm FINALLY getting it and can actually use ontology and epistemology in sentences :-) It's also helped me see that I'm actually doing everything the right way around and am instinctively getting it right HUZZAH!
Thank you, I'm working on my Ph.D in Clinical Psychology and now just hitting the Research and Advanced Research classes, I was worrying about this, but with this video I've got this! Thank you!!
I like the way to memorize "eTic" and "EMic" in your show, and it's will be a lifelong tenacity !!Using fishbowl model to explain etic and emit approaches, to me ,it is the best analogy ever .Thank you very much. I am ardently expecting your next video.
+Tim Wu thank you. My next video will be a while as I have a new baby and some health issues I'm dealing with. I hope to get back to it as soon as I can.
Thank you NurseKillam, for the entire semester the professor tried to make us understood ontology and epistemology via research papers...I get all four words through your video and I also took notes! Thank you!
i have struggled a whole semester to understand epistemology and ontology and here you are making it easy and fun too....I cannot wait to tackle that paper tomorrow...God richly bless you...
After one year of feeling like an complete idiot, i suddenly understand! THANK YOU! My teachers/professors have something to learn from you! I BIG THANK YOU from Norway!
Your video is very helpful for me. I'm doing a research for my Master thesis and struggling. This helps me get a whole picture of research concepts. thanks a lot for sharing.
Goodness.. You are a life saver... being new to research, I have struggled to understand these terms and relate them to my studies for this whole semester... I had no idea what I was doing before I watched this video.. You have no idea how helpful this has been to me.. Thank you .. Thank you.. Thank you so so so sooooooo much :)
Thanks Nurse Killiam! This was very helpful. I'm a doctoral student and wanted to get some of these concepts better understood and this video helped to make things much more understandable.
Well done. You might consider including a quick review of measurement scales for quantitative epidemiology (logical positivism and postpostivism). Also, by examining a research study’s conclusions it is possible to determine what kind of epidemiological stance the researcher has taken and whether their knowledge claims are warranted given the methodology they followed to arrive at those knowledge claims. Regardless of these suggestions, you have done an excellent job of summarizing critical issues that must be resolved in any research study.
hi I passed my Post Grad Dip in Applied Sociology now studying for MA (Colombo University, Sri Lanka) thank you so much. your explanations helped a lot.
Hi, that's what I'm actually doing, getting other explanations for this complex topic. Your video helps me understand better for my Master's thesis. Thank
Thanks so much! Nothing I have read up til now has made as much sense as this!
Glad it was helpful!
indeed
my sentiments exactly
I'm taking a doctoral level qualitative research class and you basically summed up in 12 minutes what I couldn't digest all semester. Thanks for the very practical examples to define these terms!
Now we have complete faith in you! :)
Why were you accepted to a doctoral level qualitative research class?
I co-sign all the beautiful sentiments. I am a doctoral student and was struggling with the jargon and terminology. You explained this so well and I am way better with visuals. Being able to rewind and review is so helpful. I immediately purchased your book! I was shocked when someone complained about the price. I think most of us agree it's a steal!

You just saved me from failing my advanced research methods exam, THANK YOU SO MUCH
Awesome to hear! I'm happy to help
I'm having exam tomorrow, let's see how it goes ))))
Dude!!

Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.
In my 8 months of research higher degree, today is the distinct day, I have seen enlightenment. I now have the whole study in my palm. Thanks
+Kofi Newton good to hear! I wish you well with it
You bring justice to the term "teacher". Thank you! Please do not stop doing what you're doing!
wow this video was like oxygen to my brain after all the confusion from my prof - amazing job!
I really needed this breakdown. After a decade in my field, I jumped from a diploma to a Masters program and found myself swimming in the deep end of all this academic jargon. I now have my head above water and feel ready to take it all on. I am truly grateful. Thank you.
That takes courage! good for you :)
How did you get a diploma?
@@physiotherapistpaulina9340 Thank you, I appreciate that.

@@s.l2201 So you don’t know what epistemology means but you’ve mastered your probability theory… right…
This was extremely helpful. I abandoned the course text because it was a bit dense but after your video I have a clear idea as to what the terms mean and how they relate. Now I feel much more comfortable tackling the text again (and my current MSc module assignment)
You're very welcome!
Wish I had found your channel 3 years ago when I started my bachelor. Ontology and epistemology now suddenly makes sense and I have struggled to grasp those two concepts for a long time
You’re supposed to cover basic philosophy of science at the very start. Usually the reading is recommended before the course begins…
Your 10 mins video is far more comprehensive than my one hour lecture and a few hours of my textbook reading. Thank you very much.
This is awesome, I pray students are able to see and read this presentation before commencing the development of their proposals. Its a saver, thanks so much. Only a nurse can do this, Lol. Very valuable. Thank you.

LOVE. Some of us need auditory visual input because words in text don't do anything for comprehension. THANK YOU
This is the most simplistic explanation I've looked at thus far. Truly helpful
Must confess, this video is so much clearer than school teaching materials......
I've been doing my PhD for ten years now and your video finally helped me to make sense of how these four aspects relate to each other. I am so grateful. Thank you so much.
Brahh...
…no wonder academia is doomed…
After three months on my PhD and countless hours of reading and philosophy lectures thank you for making this simple and clear! Putting this into basic terms has helped me so much.
You’re on your PhD and you didn’t know the basics…?
As a beginner in social research methods, this video proved to be my saviour. The keywords were simplified in a logical way to ease the pain of grasping new concepts.. thank you so much
Very helpful information. The example of the fish bowl clarified everything for me. I will keep on replaying this video time and again. Thank you.

Hands down the best explanation found on this topic, thank you Laura.
I am a PhD student and our professor gave us this link. This is the clearest explanation of these fancy terms in research. Thanks!
Thank you thank you thank you. I have been struggling to understand this within my MSc Advanced Practice. The more I read, the more confused I became. This has been the best spent 12 mins of my research module!
In the middle of writing, my final university research paper and this has helped me so much. I haven't been able to wrap my head around this in class due to my dyslexia and this has finally clicked something in my brain. THANK YOU.

YOU ARE A GENIUS. BEST EXPLANATION EVER OF THESE CONCEPTS. THANK YOU!!! Seriously. Keep educating! You're a master of your craft!
This is an amazing video. Other lecturers could have spent hours trying to explain what you just did ... you did it in just 11 minutes and made it sound so easy and clear. Thank you very much.
+Mo Aye I'm happy you liked it. You're welcome!
Yes I found this really helpful and fun. After reading 4 different text books your video was way more useful and took a LOT less time :-)
+Ailsa McKnight I'm so happy it helped!
i'd agree
Brilliant presentation. Thank you! I would recommend Psychology first-year students to watch your videos.
Thank you so much, I was trying hard to understand these 'fancy' words as you call them. The terminologies were really hard to understand but after watching your video I definitely understand.
Superb explanation !!! I have been into research since 2019 and have never understood these terms and concepts the way I did today. You have made it so clear and have increased my love and passion for research. Thanks.😊
Writing my research methodology exam tomorrow and this helped me alot. Thank you.
Happy I studied philosophy as an undergrad. These ideas were drilled into my mind.

Excellent explanations - very clear using the Fish bow analogy. Good. Recommend your book n video to students 👍👍. YL.
Thank you for this. Contributors to education that simplify but accurately explain everything are saints.
Thank you for finally making sense of these terms. I feel much more confident about writing the Methodology chapter of my dissertation now 😊
This single video is an enormous treasure.
This is the best educational video I have seen on the topic of knowledge. Excellent work. Thank you.
Your videos are so precise and clear. Every time I see one of your videos I get excited because I know I'm about to learn something. Thank you!!
Thank you for this. I has REALLY helped me and your book was a godsend in helping me understand the different ontologies and epistemologies that my PhD supervisor was talking about and I was feeling lost and out of my depth because I didn't understand what she was talking about. You have really helped me. Thank you!
I can't imagine watching a video that has broken down complex stuff. I'm so thankful for this video
Thank you!! I'd almost given up on understanding the meaning of epistemology and ontology..
The best I have seen so far on this topic. Thank you :)

Thank you very much for making a very complex area into a very clear and easily digestable video - very grateful.
I am starting my Ph.D. in nursing and was sooooo confused about these terms as an ESL student. Thank you so much for clarifying them!
how are you starting your PhD when this is recommended before you even begin an introduction to research methods?
This is brilliant. I had to stop and take stock every now and again but I think I'm FINALLY getting it and can actually use ontology and epistemology in sentences :-) It's also helped me see that I'm actually doing everything the right way around and am instinctively getting it right HUZZAH!
+Penelope Bergen thank you for telling me. It's always good to hear feedback like this.
Thank you so much. That is the best explanation of what, to me, is a completely new language. Need to share this with the rest of my class...

Great explanation. Finally I found something to show to my students. Bravo Nurse Killam.
Glad you liked it
This is where I have found the knowledge to finish my masters
Straight forward with examples thank you

It is clear, but I wish you would have explored more ontologies and epistemologies!!! Your explanations are so clear!
I cannot thank you enough for this.
