Discussion

Klaus Beyer Apr 3, 2021:
reword it? ...no clearly delineated programs based on scientific theory, but a broad designation....
philgoddard Mar 31, 2021:
You're heading these questions Social Sciences - Science, which sounds like a contradiction. I have a feeling wissenschaftlich means academic rather than scientific - is that right?

approaches to scientific investigation

Although the German "Wissenschaft" is a more all-encompassing term as regards knowledge than the English "science", so that "wissenschaftlich" could indeed be translated as "academic", I would be inclined in this case to refer to scientific investigation rather than academic research, e.g., "The methods and strategies of qualitative and quantitative research do not constitute two clearly distinguished approaches to scientific investigation ..." I'm working on the assumption that social sciences are a subset of science or the sciences, distinct from natural sciences.
Peer comment(s):

neutral philgoddard : Whatever you think about "wissenschaftlich", you can't ignore "theoretisch".

systems of scientific theory

"The methods or concepts of quantitative and qualitative research do not amount to distinct systems of scientific theory but rather constitute a framework indicating or encompassing different methodological approaches."

theoretical-science programms

Science begins as a theory. There are a lot of hypotesis who must be submited to several tests. When the hypotesis is confirmed, the theory begins to be transformed in science.
