and hermeneutic methodology, the present paper draws upon our experiences as lecturers in Research Methods over many years, and upon pertinent literature to explain the meaning of research paradigm. The paper elucidates the key aspects of research paradigms that researchers should understand well to be able to address this concept adequately
These paradigms have to do with the purpose of the research. Various methods can be used to do the research, but it is first useful to determine the overarching objective of the research. In this module, we will provide a description of each paradigm and also present some examples of the kinds of research questions that are typically associated ...

elements of research paradigms. A paradigm is a basic belief system and theoretical framework with assumptions about 1) ontology, 2) epistemology, 3) methodology and 4) methods. In other words, it is our way of understanding the reality of the world and studying it. We will look closely at the four components of a research paradigm. 1.1. Ontology
o The framework that directs research and practice in a field (Willis, Jost, & Nilakanta, 2007). o The lens by which the researcher can view and comprehend the reality (Shek & Wu, 2018). • The paradigm and the research questions determine data collection and analysis methods most suitable for research (Mackenzie & Knipe, 2006).

ent research paradigms is important at any level, if for no other reason than making you aware of the potential implications of the choices you make: ‘Being aware of par-adigmatic blinders is a first step towards greater situational responsiveness and creativity in making methods decisions’ (Patton, 1988, 118).
Research Paradigms, Methodologies and Methods This chapter is focused on the research process and factors influencing it. Initially, with a focus on paradigms, followed by a discussion of preferred methodologies and methods that follows from the paradigm subscribed to by the researcher. First, a definition:
Research is influenced by paradigms which are lenses that guide the types of questions that should be identified by a specific investigation, the methods that should be used in addressing the research questions, and how data should be interpreted (Aliyu, Bello, Kasim, & Martin, 2014; Bryman, 2012) cited in (Aberra, 2016).

2. Correlational Research - These studies are conducted to determine whether and to what degree, a relationship exists between two or more variables. 3. Causal - Comparative Research - This type of research seeks to discover a cause-effect relationship between two or more different programmes, methods or groups. It is also called the
research paradigm that aligns with their methodological choice for the study. In addressing this challenge, this paper discusses various paradigms of research and the two dominant epistemological assumptions; positivism, constructivism or interpretivism often debated in business and management research from an ontological perspective.
approaches to research When a proliferation of research approaches within multiple paradigms are proposed the result can be a communication breakdown in relation to epistemic incommensurability (i.e. a fatal flaw in your ontological approach that flows into your epistemological and methodological design leading to use of inappropriate methods)
Research is influenced by paradigms which are lenses that guide the types of questions that should be identified by a specific investigation, the methods that should be used in addressing the research questions, and how data should be interpreted (Aliyu, Bello, Kasim, & Martin, 2014; Bryman, 2012) cited in (Aberra, 2016).

It was noted by Healy and Perry (2000) that there are four types of paradigms of research - positivism, critical theory, realism and interpretivism. Positivism is used for quantitative research, while the other three are used in qualitative research (Healy and Perry, 2000). The second paradigm, critical theory, emphasises social realities ...
A research paradigm is arguably one of the most complex aspects of research. Have you been wondering what is a research paradigm?Well, this post will demystify this seemingly daunting topic! A research paradigm is a framework that guides a researcher’s approach to an investigation and thus helps the researcher shape the development of knowledge. The purpose of research paradigm s is to serve ...
In doing this, we briefly review the paradigm “wars” and incompatibility thesis, we show some commonalities between quantitative and qualitative research, we explain the tenets of pragmatism, we explain the fundamental principle of mixed research and how to apply it, we provide specific sets of designs for the two major types of mixed ...
