Abstract: Abstract As you can see from the preceding chapter, project work is based on assumptions which differ substantially from those which underly scientific research. Unfortunately, there is a tendency for many informal discussions between tutors and students, and most formal accounts in the textbooks to which you will be referred, to adhere to the hypothetico-deductive model, if only implicitly. This is particularly true of the role ascribed to you. This results in a vagueness about how you are to be seen: are you an academic taking concepts and techniques into the field of practice (see Figure 6.1), a scientist about to investigate a hypothesis which seems to apply to the practitioner field, a practitioner/employee puzzling out the relevance of academic ideas to his or her own situation, or simply someone doing their best in an underspecified role?
