From the Paper:

"According to Saunders et al. (2003) the three views on the research process which lead the literature are: positivism, interpretivism and realism. Since the concept of diabetic management in older people is far too complex to be theorised by laws and generalisations, therefore the research has a more interpretivist theme. Remenyi et al. (1998 cited in Saunder et al. 2003) argue that it is necessary to discover the details of a situation to understand the reality behind it. The aim of the research is to understand the counselling theory that would be best applicable in a middle school.
"It can be argued that the problem of finding the appropriate counselling theory for a middle school in the current situation can be considered to be dependent on the thought and belief structures of the subjects within the sector, i.e. the ones applying the management techniques (principals and teachers) and those who experience those strategies in their lifestyles (students). According to Saunders et al (2003) such independent and large-scale social forces exist in every situation and their presence sometimes cannot be comprehensively understood by the subjects. Therefore, taking into account the aforementioned reason, this study will adopt both interpretive and realist philosophy."
