I need some suggestions on how to analyze the ontological, axiological, and epistemological assumptions that the author of the article makes. How is this manifested in the research questions, variables, instruments, data collection, and data collection procedures? I need help with some specific examples. Thanks for your consideration.

Just let me know via the feedback section if you need further clarification. All the best with your studies.
