kuvausmenetelmän
Kuvausmenetelmän is a Finnish term that translates to "description method" or "descriptive method" in English. It refers to a general approach in research and study where the primary goal is to observe and describe a phenomenon, situation, or group of subjects as accurately and objectively as possible. Unlike experimental or causal-comparative methods that aim to establish cause-and-effect relationships or compare groups, the kuvausmenetelmän focuses on painting a detailed picture of "what is."
This method can be applied in various fields, including social sciences, education, psychology, and even business.
