I really wanna thank you for taking time and creating educational content like this! I was struggling with the same concept trying to understand the difference and while researching it came across this video :) Thank you again! If people that teach approached every new topic as if they are explaining it to someone completely ignorant of it which we all are until (properly) taught, life of students would be 10x easier and less stressful! Keep your vids coming! Loving it :)
Thanks David for such a nice explanation in simple terms. Understanding deductive and Inductive approach is quite difficult in actual but you made it so easy to understand.
This really shed a bit of light because I was clueless. Thanks for explaining it so well and using simple examples. I subscribed and will be visiting for more videos.
Thank you for your video. I am at the moment doing a masters and I am not sure if you made a mistake on your diagram, what I have from uni is the opposite deductive= observation, pattern, tentative hypothesis and theory. Inductive= theory, hypothesis, observation and confirmation (Saunders Research Onion) but to be honest I feel like what I have is wrong because looking for a pattern and then just generalise for a conclusion is inductive to me.
The findings of an inductive research seems to be less reliable in terms of reality than the deductive approach that is completely data-driven. In the inductive approach a minimal number of interviewees might lead to a false pattern that does not match reality, whereas in the deductive approach badly-performed experiments might create false cues that will lead to false trends.
The problem with the inductive part is that the interview questions you ask may already be guided by some hunches, ideas and preconceptions and thus not be as open as often thought - or to speak with Karl Popper, any observation is theory-laden.
try this *decocative is when there is a theory that you want to prove if it was right or wrong *inductive you are gathering data t understand a phenomenon or something that you have observed try this book; management research by Mark Esterby, Richard Thorpe and Paul Kackson, try this guy he really rocks Michael Quinn Paton
I'm trying to figure out if there's a God. This helped thanks. Now I can use RU-vid algorithm to generate more videos like this one to help with my research. 😉
I would recommend 'Research Design: Qualitative, Quantitative, and Mixed Methods Approaches' by John W. Creswell. It is very comprehensive and touches on many things related to conducting research, Induction and Deduction being one of them.
