HEURISTICS
Heuristics lend a helping hand
For things hard to understand.
I wonder who invents these cues
That I so often have to use?
Would I be too strict a purist
If I called him (or her) a heurist?
EPISTEMOLOGY
Epistemology – ways of knowing,
How we can tell the grass is growing.
Observation, intuition,
Then there’s always
Superstition.
Some folks like things they can measure,
Others insight really treasure;
Me, I always opt for leisure.
QUALITATIVE METHODS
Naturalistic inquiry
Looks at how folks think and see
In the context of their place and time.
Hermeneutics doesn’t have rhyme.
But I still would be a little leery
Of distinguishing it from grounded theory.
