The correct answer is

Qualitative Research

Constructivism (social constructivism, interpretivism) holds that reality is socially constructed and that individuals develop subjective meanings of their experiences; the researcher's task is to understand these multiple meanings from the participants' viewpoint.

This worldview is the philosophical base of qualitative research, which uses open-ended interviews, observation and inductive generation of themes or theory (as Creswell describes).

Quantitative, experimental and survey research rest mainly on positivism/post-positivism, which assumes an objective reality measurable through variables, hypotheses and statistics.

Hence, the answer is Qualitative Research.
