16). Inductive reasoning works from the opposite direction, as it begins with making observations, then noticing a pattern and formulating a hypothesis that explains that pattern and ends with the
formulation of a theory that summarizes conclusions. In deduction, theory comes first and from this a hypothesis narrows and focuses the field of investigation, which leads to observations on conditions
designed to test the hypothesis and this leads to either confirming or disproving the hypothesis (Trochim and Donnelly, 2007). 2. Indicate which type of reasoning you are currently favoring
for your own dissertation work: Deductive reasoning seems to this writer/tutor to be the most frequently used form of logic used in science. Popper argued that "science is no inductive,
but deductive" (Sayer, 1991, p. 160). However, particularly in the social sciences it also seems reasonable that inductive reasoning would be useful in finding patterns of behavior that can lead
to useful conclusions. Trochim and Donnelly point out that the majority of social research entails examples of both processes, as "even in the most constrained experiment, researchers might observe
patterns in the data that leads them to develop new theories" (Trochim and Donnelly, 2007, p. 18). Therefore, this writer/tutor would suggest that the student favor deductive reasoning when writing
personal response in the students own essay, while not ruling out the possibility of learning from and utilizing patterns with data that could leads to new insight into the optic.
