Paradigm

Introduction: This paper provides a response to questions concerning research paradigms. A journal article for each of the four social paradigms was selected. A summary table identifying the social paradigm, research method, data collection technique and data analysis approach is provided. A structured narrative response to how each of the articles addresses the research question follows the summary table. The paper concludes with rationale for the research paradigm that appeals most to me. Sociological Paradigm Journal Article Research Method Data Collection Technique Data Analysis Approach Positivist Reinventing strategies for emerging markets Case Study Interviews & Archival Documents Content , Conversation & Document Postpositivism/…

New Educational Paradigm I would like to propose an Educational Paradigm change. At the World-renowned education and creativity export and recipient of the RSA’s Benjamin Franklin Award, done in 2010, an animated presentation was given titled Changing Educational Paradigms originally done by Robinson that I would like to take a step further (Robinson, 2010). Although to start down this road we must look back. In Robinson presentation, he points to many factors that have played out so we can…

The word paradigm has its etymological roots in Late Latin and Greek; the word paradigma means a pattern or example and paradeigma means pattern, precedent, or exemplar (Harper). Philosophers often credit Thomas Kuhn with popularizing the word as it is used in modern times—after the publication of Kuhn 's The Structure of Scientific Revolutions in 1962, the usage of paradigm in published works skyrocketed (Ngram Viewer-Paradigm). In Structure, Kuhn first introduces paradigms as achievements…

Paradigm shift, term first been used by philosopher of science, Thomas S. Kuhn (1922–96) in his research, which means a fundamental change in approach or underlying assumptions. People believe paradigm shifts is a change from one way of thinking to another. It 's a revolution, a transformation, a sort of metamorphosis. It just does not happen, but rather it is driven by agents of change. It represents a phenomenon that when enough anomalies proved the current philosophy, paradigm or science are…

there are already predetermined problems of earlier paradigms set to be solved. The final problem with natural science is the articulation of a paradigm. Researchers must conduct experiments and observations to articulate or express coherently paradigms. They must undergo work on the paradigm to prove and define the given models of previous theory. After giving attention to these problems Kuhn suggests that the practicing of articulated paradigms will be determined as capable of…

Paradigms “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions” introduced Thomas Kuhn’s paradigm theory. Paradigms describe the scientific observations of a natural phenomenon or theory (Kuhn 2012, 41). Thomas Kuhn’s “Structure of Scientific Revolutions,” provides a philosophical look into the scientific process and an understanding of how theories change and progress over time. Paradigms help explain theories, concepts, and observations so they can be learned from (Kuhn 2012, 43). Kuhn himself…

interact with the data outside the situation, but begin to vigorously participate and engage others in care. This movement is when one incorporates nursing theory into their person paradigm of care; and understand the interaction of the nurse with the person, health, environment and nursing practice. The Paradigm Shift Practitioners and professionals of the scientific community refer to Kerlinger and Lee’s theory basis as a paradigm; which Kuhn (1970) defines as a “universally recognized…

above nature and has the right to subdue and control it follows. Sustainable ethics is the opposite of this. It is the realization that humans are in fact a part of nature and there are only limited resources which, along with the environment, need to be taken care of (Chiras, 2016). Sustainable ethics is a big turn from how people used to think, but it’s a necessary one. Without it the Earth proceeds to worsen and will be more difficult to fix. With these ethics, more respect will be put on the…

Paradigms can affect our sense perception because it cause people to be in a system. Advances in science can be halted if scientist are in a paradigm. That is why science strives to prove theories wrong so that it can turns into a paradigm shift, which is also called falsification. An example of a paradigm shift in biology is Darwin’s theory of evolution. We learnt about evolution in class and was taught that Darwin saw similar species and thought they were related. Since the species were on…

of nonviolent offenders, or racially disparate imprisonment. Those objections take issue with the form or distribution of punishment and prisons rather than the concept of punishment itself. Although theories of punishment might not seem to be scientific, they draw on assumptions about psychology and behavioral science. Criminology and penology, too, are important social scientific fields. More broadly, that punishment does not present itself as scientific does not prove it is immune to…
