What is Research Paradigm?

Greek word meaning 'pattern'

Whenever we think of doing research, we get a few thoughts such as:

  • 'How do we plan to do this research?'
  • 'What will be my approach to the investigation?'
  • 'Will I do Qualitative or Quantitative or mixed?'

To come out of this situation, the researcher takes the help of the "Research Paradigm"

A research paradigm is a framework that is used to guide research. It includes the assumptions that researchers make about what is being studied, and how it can be studied.

Paradigms can be based on different philosophies, such as positivism or constructivism.
