The African Symposium: An On Line Journal Of African Educational Research Network

چکیده
The paper explains the disparities in the use of research terminologies which often leads to the confusion by research practitioners and postgraduate students in their appropriate choice of research methodologies. Experiences have shown that many people cannot differentiate between research paradigm and research methodology, like wise from research method and research methodology. In addition, there is a great dilemma in the use of research instruments and research techniques, which most people use interchangeably while in the actual sense, they mean different things. It is the intent of this paper to clarify these terms and make them clearer to the researchers. Although the problems arise from the different authors of the books of research, most text books, depending on the disciplines of the authors, use the terminologies differently with little or no harmonisation, which invariably leads to confusion or misunderstanding by students, researchers and consumers of research.
