(Hima PDIA News) SURABAYA - In order to strengthen the understanding of the paradigm of nonpositivism research among academics, the Student Association of the Doctoral Program of Accounting Sciences (Hima PDIA) Airlangga Universitas Airlangga successfully organized tips, Tricks & Share Series 4 titled "The Marriage of Senses in the Nonpositivism Paradigm" Doctoral, young researcher, and alternative research methodology activists from various institutions in Indonesia.
The event which took place from 18:00 to 20:00 WIB presented an inspirational resource person, Dr. Bonnie S who invites participants to trace the relationship between sensory aspects and creative thinking within the framework of nonpositivism. He highlighted the importance of understanding the meaning in depth in qualitative research, and emphasized that research was not just a technical procedure, but a spiritual and intellectual journey to understand complex and layered reality.
Lifting the concept of "Six Senses" ala Pink (2006) - Design, Story, Empathy, Symphony, Play, and Meaning - Dr. Bonnie stressed that the nonpositivistic approach is not only a matter of methods, but also a matter of self -awareness, sharpness of taste, and courage to interpret meaning subjectively. Approaches such as phenomenology, case studies, ethnography, discourse analysis to spiritualism are also presented as research strategies that are able to capture contextual truth.
This discussion also dismantled the myth that creativity in research belongs only to a handful of people. By quoting the views of Steve Jobs and Edward De Bono, the resource person underlined the importance of "connecting the dots" and thinking reversed to give birth to new synthesis in research. Research in this paradigm requires sensitivity, perseverance, and courage to uncover the deepest layer of social phenomena.
This activity is a reflection forum as well as enlightenment for participants who are preparing a dissertation or involved in a qualitative research project. With the spirit of "Manunggal with Karya", this event is expected to enrich the perspective of the researchers of the importance of harmony between taste, reason, and values in the process of finding meaningful science.
