Counelis typology of research designs by time/space assumptions and unit versus class¶

Theory · All theories
Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

The report uses Counelis' typology crossing kairotic versus chronotic time/space assumptions with unit object versus object class, yielding history, survey, case, and experiment as generic research designs. The author concludes that "the emphasis of this study is on the kairotic time/space manifold and the unitobject," situating the work as history rather than science. The typology clarifies how case methodology differs from experimental design.

Design Implications¶

Context¶

Requirements¶

• Researchers must make their time/space assumptions explicit when choosing a design

Constraints¶

• The author notes he uses the word case differently from Counelis, only weakly taking on the connotation of a Hegelian concrete general

Target Learners¶

• art education researchers

Target Learning Objectives¶

• selecting research designs adequate to studying creative processes

Claims¶

Related Theories¶

• Contextualism as the world view and general method for studying arting
• Special participant observer role stepping within the artist's artistic serial
