❖ How can you select an appropriate research paradigm
❖ Research process and research paradigm
@alahmadim2010
❑ It is a cluster of belief and dictates that for scientists in a particular discipline influence
what should be studied, How research should be done, How results should be
interpreted (Bryman, 2016, p 636).
❑ A shared belief, a set of principles, the identity of the research community, a way of
perusing knowledge, consensus on what problems are to be investigated and how to
investigate them, typical solutions to problems, and it's an understanding that is more
acceptable than its rivals (Cohen, et al., 2018, p. 8).
❑ A paradigm or worldview is a basic set of beliefs that guide action (Guba, 1990, p. 17).
❑ Basic belief systems based on ontological, epistemological and methodological
assumptions (Guba & Lincoln, 1994).

➢ Each paradigm has a set of guiding principles and philosophical assumptions that you have
to know and understand them.
Characteristic of paradigm
➢ Every paradigm has its approach to research.
➢ Each paradigm has its methods which use to conduct research.
➢ Every paradigm has its own research quality criteria.

@alahmadim2010
Ontology
From a philosophical perspective, ontology can be defined as:
The philosophical study of being / Beliefs or views of the world around you./ The study
of our existence, the fundamental nature of reality or being.
Belief about what is real or true determine? What can be known about reality?
From a practical perspective (RESEARCH):
Refer to the researcher’s beliefs about the nature of reality.
Does the researcher believe in one reality that is context free and can be discovered?
What are the form and nature of the social world ?
Or Multiple mental constructed of reality that are bounded by context.
@alahmadim2010
Ontology
Ontological Materialism
It is the belief that material things such
as particles, chemical processes etc are
more real than the human mind. In light
of that, materials are the fundamental
substance in nature. Thus, consciousness
and mental aspects are the results of
material interactions.
The belief is that reality exits regardless
of human observers.
Ontological Idealism
Idealism is a metaphysical philosophy
that asserts that the human mind and
consciousness are more real than
material things. It is uncertainty about
knowledge which produces from mind-
independent sources. Therefore, mind
and consciousness are first order
realities. The belief is that reality is
constructed in the mind of observers.
@alahmadim2010
Epistemology
What is the nature of knowledge?
What is the relationship between knowledge and researcher during discovery?
Does the researcher believe that the relationship with participants/ sample should be
objective or subjective?
Can we generalise this knowledge?
Is knowledge stable or changeable ?

Methodology
❑ A plan of action, a strategy which informs the choice and use of particular methods and
linking the choice and use of methods to the desired outcomes.” (Crotty, 2003, p. 3)
❑ The activity or business of choosing, reflecting upon, evaluating and justifying the
methods you use” (Wellington, 2000, p.22).
❑ The research design that shapes our choice of the methods.
❑ The way researcher goes about discovering knowledge in a systematic way.
What procedure or logic should be followed to achieve research aims?
Deductive Inductive Abductive
@alahmadim2010
Methods
❑ The techniques or procedures used to gather and analyse data related to some research
questions or hypotheses (Crotty, 2003, p. 3)
What techniques of data collection should be used to accomplish research questions?

@alahmadim2010
Positivism Paradigm
@alahmadim2010
❑ The term ‘positivism’ was coined by Auguste Comte to reflect a strict empirical approach
in which claims about knowledge are based directly on experience; it emphasizes facts
and the causes of behaviour (Bogdan & Biklen, 2003).
❑ - It holds that the scientific method is the only way to discover truths about the world.
❑ It is based upon the view that science is the only foundation for true knowledge.
❑ It holds that the methods, techniques and procedures used in the natural sciences offer
the best framework for investigating the social world.
❑ It typically applies the scientific method to the study of human action.
❑ It is viewed as being objectivist – that is, objects around us have existence and meaning,
independent of our consciousness of them.
❑ The middle part of the 20th century saw a shift from positivism to post-positivism.
Positivism Assumptions
@alahmadim2010
Positivist /
Scientific
paradigm
Single reality, tangible, objective, measurable, can be broken into
variable; independent of the researcher’s mind.
Knowledge can be tested empirically= absolute, confirmed or
disconfirmed, stable and can be generalized.
Role of Researcher Impersonal, researcher only needs to collect data
to produce absolute truth.
Experimental, Correlation, Causal-comparative, Longitudinal study,
Cross-sectional study.
Tests, Scales, Structured Observation, true experiments.
The researchers should use the scientific methods of gathering data to
achieve objectivity and neutrality during the inquiry process;
Knowledge constitutes hard data, is objective and, therefore,
independent of the values, interest and feelings of the researcher.

Post - positivism Paradigm
@alahmadim2010
Post-positivism Assumptions
❑ It is influenced by a philosophy called critical realism.
❑ It can be distinguished from positivism according to whether the focus is on theory
verification (positivism), Or on theory falsification (postpositivism) (Ponterotto, 2005).
❑ The post-positivists, like the positivists, believe that there is a reality independent of our
thinking that can be studied through the scientific method.
❑ Reality cannot be known with certainty.
❑ Observations are theory-laden and influenced by the observer’s biases and worldview. For
example, two people may observe the same event and understand it differently, based upon
their own experiences and beliefs.
❑ Objectivity can nevertheless be achieved by using multiple measures and observations and
triangulating the data to gain a clearer understanding of what is happening in reality.
❑ The post-positivists share a lot in common with positivists, but most of the research
approaches and practices in social science today fit better into the post-positivist category.
❑ In educational research, absolute knowledge is questionable.
❑ Observations can not be done with a theory-free; our observations are driven by our
theories, experiences, prior concepts, beliefs, purposes, perceptions ,….. (if conscious or
not)
@alahmadim2010
Post-
Positivist
paradigm
Co-existing or pluralist reality (imperfectly), fallible, tangible, modified
objective, measurable, independent of the researcher’s mind, can be
broken into variable;
Knowledge can be conjectured, provisional, changing, probabilistic,
not absolute, but partial; falsifiable; researcher and investigation are
not totally detached.
Quasi-Experimental, Correlation, Causal-comparative, Surveys. (Not
randomly assign); Longitudinal study, Cross-sectional study.
Tests, Scales, Structured Observation, Questionnaire, experiments
The researchers can discover reality within a certain realm of
probability. What is observed, how it is observed and the outcome of
what is observed can be influenced by researcher’s background
knowledge, his/her recognising theories, Hypothesis.

Post-positivist research questions
@alahmadim2010
Interpretivist Paradigm
@alahmadim2010
Interpretivism
❑ It holds that the meaning is not discovered; it is constructed through interactions.
❑ The reality is subjective and it differs from person to another (Guba & Lincoln, 1994)
❑ It believes that the ontological position is relativism which means that reality is not single
but it is multiple.
❑ Social phenomena can only be understood by looking at the totality.
❑ Researcher is considered as a part of the research process.
❑ The ontology and epistemology in interpretivism are intertwined.
❑ It is viewed as being subjectivist – that is the knowledge does not exist independently of
people knowledge of it.

Transformative (Critical Theory) Paradigm
@alahmadim2010
Transformative Paradigm
❑ In the late 19th century, Karl Marx mentioned that industrial societies increase division
between rich and poor classes. Ex. Income inequality, the working class were being
oppressed by people in power, especially the owners of manufacturing plan.
❑ Feminist theory contributed of transformative paradigm because it explores power
structure that create and recreate gendered differentiations in societies.
❑ The realities are socially constructed entities that under the constant internal influence.
❑ The ontological position is historical realism, which is the view of that reality has been
shaped by social, political, cultural, economic, ethical, gender values.
❑ It believes that reality is not single, but it is multiple.
❑ Knowledge is socially constructed and at the same time influenced by power relations
from within society.
❑ Reality is alterable by human actions.
@alahmadim2010
Transformative
paradigm
Multiple (layer) realities, intangible, changeable, produce of
human political, culture, economic, race, ethics, gender,
disabilities value.
Knowledge is an interactive, socially constructed, mind-
dependent, dialectic; cannot be generalized.

2. What kind of values are represented in the 2nd intermediate Arabic
curriculum ?
3. What roles do teachers/ supervisors play in curriculum development?
4. How are special needs represented in official curricula ?
@alahmadim2010
Pragmatism Paradigm
@alahmadim2010
Pragmatism Paradigm
❑ It links the choice of research paradigm directly to the purpose and nature of the
research questions (Creswell 2003)
❑ In reality, a decision of whether to take quantitative or qualitative are based on a belief of
design and methodology being the best suited to research aim, not based on the
philosophical position.
❑ The essence of a pragmatist ontology is actions and change; humans acting in a world
which is in a constant state of becoming.
❑ The world is thus changed through reason and action and there is an inseparable link
between human knowing and human action.
❑ Pragmatism emphasises the active role of the researcher in creating data and theories.
❑ Experimentation in the world is pivotal.
❑ Both Quantitative and Qualitative research methods may be used in one study.
@alahmadim2010
Pragmatism
paradigm
Anti-ontological philosophy; single/ multiple reality, the view
that is chosen to best answer the research question (Truth is
what works at the time?). Research problem is centred
Either subjective or objective meanings can provide facts to a
research question; focus on practical application to issues by
merging views to help interpret data. Role of researcher:
Unbiased, biased.
Mixed methods: Quantitative and Qualitative
Combining of multi-methods in one research
Values play a vital role to interpret results using subjective and
objective reasoning

@alahmadim2010
Questions can help researcher to select an appropriate paradigm
Dash (2005, p. 4) provides several questions you should ask in selecting a paradigm and
methodology:
1. What is the nature or essence of the social phenomena being investigated?
2. Is the social phenomena objective in nature or created and depended in the human
mind?
3. What are the bases of knowledge corresponding to the social reality, and how can
knowledge be acquired and disseminated?
4. What is the relationship of an individual with her environment? Is she conditioned by
the environment or is the environment created by her?

  • 4. ❑ It is a cluster of belief and dictates that for scientists in a particular discipline influence what should be studied, How research should be done, How results should be interpreted (Bryman, 2016, p 636). ❑ A shared belief, a set of principles, the identity of the research community, a way of perusing knowledge, consensus on what problems are to be investigated and how to investigate them, typical solutions to problems, and it's an understanding that is more acceptable than its rivals (Cohen, et al., 2018, p. 8). ❑ A paradigm or worldview is a basic set of beliefs that guide action (Guba, 1990, p. 17). ❑ Basic belief systems based on ontological, epistemological and methodological assumptions (Guba & Lincoln, 1994). What is a research paradigm ? @alahmadim2010
  • 5. @alahmadim2010 Research paradigm A cluster of belief Set of principles What should be studied How to investigate problems How to interpret findings
  • 6. ➢ Each paradigm has a set of guiding principles and philosophical assumptions that you have to know and understand them. Characteristic of paradigm ➢ Every paradigm has its approach to research. ➢ Each paradigm has its methods which use to conduct research. ➢ Every paradigm has its own research quality criteria. @alahmadim2010
  • 7. ‫الفلسفية‬ ‫النماذج‬(Research Paradigms( The research paradigm consists of (two or three or five) main components: Ontology Epistemology Methodology Axiology Methods What tools are used to collect data? What is the relationship btw researcher & that being researched? How do researcher know 1 2 3 4 5 What is the process of research? What procedures do Researcher use to answer research questions? What is the role of values? What do researcher believe is true ? What is nature of reality? doctrine Practical @alahmadim2010
  • 9. Ontology From a philosophical perspective, ontology can be defined as: The philosophical study of being / Beliefs or views of the world around you./ The study of our existence, the fundamental nature of reality or being. Belief about what is real or true determine? What can be known about reality? From a practical perspective (RESEARCH): Refer to the researcher’s beliefs about the nature of reality. Does the researcher believe in one reality that is context free and can be discovered? What are the form and nature of the social world ? Or Multiple mental constructed of reality that are bounded by context. @alahmadim2010
  • 10. Ontology Ontological Materialism It is the belief that material things such as particles, chemical processes etc are more real than the human mind. In light of that, materials are the fundamental substance in nature. Thus, consciousness and mental aspects are the results of material interactions. The belief is that reality exits regardless of human observers. Ontological Idealism Idealism is a metaphysical philosophy that asserts that the human mind and consciousness are more real than material things. It is uncertainty about knowledge which produces from mind- independent sources. Therefore, mind and consciousness are first order realities. The belief is that reality is constructed in the mind of observers. @alahmadim2010
  • 11. Epistemology What is the nature of knowledge? What is the relationship between knowledge and researcher during discovery? Does the researcher believe that the relationship with participants/ sample should be objective or subjective? Can we generalise this knowledge? Is knowledge stable or changeable ? @alahmadim2010
  • 12. The Researcher Role What is the role of researcher ? Researcher has to be Subjective Researcher has to be objective @alahmadim2010 Researcher has to be a part of research methods Researcher is detached from the research methods
  • 13. Axiology What is the nature of ethics? What the researcher believes is valuable and ethical? Axiology Positivism Interpretivism Pragmatism The researcher is independent Research is undertaken in value free The researcher is a part of research Value play role in interpreting finding @alahmadim2010
  • 14. Methodology ❑ A plan of action, a strategy which informs the choice and use of particular methods and linking the choice and use of methods to the desired outcomes.” (Crotty, 2003, p. 3) ❑ The activity or business of choosing, reflecting upon, evaluating and justifying the methods you use” (Wellington, 2000, p.22). ❑ The research design that shapes our choice of the methods. ❑ The way researcher goes about discovering knowledge in a systematic way. What procedure or logic should be followed to achieve research aims? Deductive Inductive Abductive @alahmadim2010
  • 15. Methods ❑ The techniques or procedures used to gather and analyse data related to some research questions or hypotheses (Crotty, 2003, p. 3) What techniques of data collection should be used to accomplish research questions? @alahmadim2010
  • 17. Types of Research Paradigms Positivist Transformative PragmatismInterpretivist Main research paradigms based on reality Post-positivism One reality Multiple reality @alahmadim2010
  • 19. ❑ The term ‘positivism’ was coined by Auguste Comte to reflect a strict empirical approach in which claims about knowledge are based directly on experience; it emphasizes facts and the causes of behaviour (Bogdan & Biklen, 2003). ❑ - It holds that the scientific method is the only way to discover truths about the world. ❑ It is based upon the view that science is the only foundation for true knowledge. ❑ It holds that the methods, techniques and procedures used in the natural sciences offer the best framework for investigating the social world. ❑ It typically applies the scientific method to the study of human action. ❑ It is viewed as being objectivist – that is, objects around us have existence and meaning, independent of our consciousness of them. ❑ The middle part of the 20th century saw a shift from positivism to post-positivism. Positivism Assumptions @alahmadim2010
  • 20. Positivist / Scientific paradigm Single reality, tangible, objective, measurable, can be broken into variable; independent of the researcher’s mind. Knowledge can be tested empirically= absolute, confirmed or disconfirmed, stable and can be generalized. Role of Researcher Impersonal, researcher only needs to collect data to produce absolute truth. Experimental, Correlation, Causal-comparative, Longitudinal study, Cross-sectional study. Tests, Scales, Structured Observation, true experiments. The researchers should use the scientific methods of gathering data to achieve objectivity and neutrality during the inquiry process; Knowledge constitutes hard data, is objective and, therefore, independent of the values, interest and feelings of the researcher. Ontology Axiology Epistemology Methodology Methods Aim To test a theory, describe an experience through observation; discover laws, to predict behaviours and situations, to find relationships between variables; to generalise findings. Quality Criteria Quantitative Reliability, Validity Behaviourism theory
  • 21. Post - positivism Paradigm @alahmadim2010
  • 22. Post-positivism Assumptions ❑ It is influenced by a philosophy called critical realism. ❑ It can be distinguished from positivism according to whether the focus is on theory verification (positivism), Or on theory falsification (postpositivism) (Ponterotto, 2005). ❑ The post-positivists, like the positivists, believe that there is a reality independent of our thinking that can be studied through the scientific method. ❑ Reality cannot be known with certainty. ❑ Observations are theory-laden and influenced by the observer’s biases and worldview. For example, two people may observe the same event and understand it differently, based upon their own experiences and beliefs. ❑ Objectivity can nevertheless be achieved by using multiple measures and observations and triangulating the data to gain a clearer understanding of what is happening in reality. ❑ The post-positivists share a lot in common with positivists, but most of the research approaches and practices in social science today fit better into the post-positivist category. ❑ In educational research, absolute knowledge is questionable. ❑ Observations can not be done with a theory-free; our observations are driven by our theories, experiences, prior concepts, beliefs, purposes, perceptions ,….. (if conscious or not) @alahmadim2010
  • 23. Post- Positivist paradigm Co-existing or pluralist reality (imperfectly), fallible, tangible, modified objective, measurable, independent of the researcher’s mind, can be broken into variable; Knowledge can be conjectured, provisional, changing, probabilistic, not absolute, but partial; falsifiable; researcher and investigation are not totally detached. Quasi-Experimental, Correlation, Causal-comparative, Surveys. (Not randomly assign); Longitudinal study, Cross-sectional study. Tests, Scales, Structured Observation, Questionnaire, experiments The researchers can discover reality within a certain realm of probability. What is observed, how it is observed and the outcome of what is observed can be influenced by researcher’s background knowledge, his/her recognising theories, Hypothesis. Axiology Epistemology Methodology Methods Aim To test a theory (Prove, Disprove), describe an experience through observation; discover laws, to predict behaviours and situations, to find relationships between variables; to generalise findings. Qualitative Quantitative How ? Two kinds of knowledge: 1- Human knowledge such as theories; 2- Doesn’t produce by human. Ex. Natural phenomena, light, thunder Quality criteria Reliability , Validity Ontology

What is the relationship between memory capacity and achievement? 4. What is the effect of …… on ………………? Post-positivist research questions @alahmadim2010
  • 27. Interpretivism ❑ It holds that the meaning is not discovered; it is constructed through interactions. ❑ The reality is subjective and it differs from person to another (Guba & Lincoln, 1994) ❑ It believes that the ontological position is relativism which means that reality is not single but it is multiple. ❑ Social phenomena can only be understood by looking at the totality. ❑ Researcher is considered as a part of the research process. ❑ The ontology and epistemology in interpretivism are intertwined. ❑ It is viewed as being subjectivist – that is the knowledge does not exist independently of people knowledge of it. @alahmadim2010
  • 28. Interpretivist paradigm Multiple-realities (relativism), intangible, changeable, produce of human experience, Knowledge is subjective, socially constructed, mind-dependent, idiographic; cannot be generalized. Hermeneutics, Ethnographic, Case study, Phenomenology, grounded theory, Biography. Interviews, Observations, Documents, Visual data analysis, Diary, pictures, discourse analysis, Focus group, audio-visual materials, Trustworthiness: Credibility, Transferability, Confirmability, Dependability, Reflexivity Ontology Axiology Epistemology Methodology Methods Aim To describe human nature, to explore people’s perceptions, understand their experiences, identify phenomena, Qualitative How , What : RQs may not establish before the studyNoteConstructivism theory

  • 34. Transformative (Critical Theory) Paradigm @alahmadim2010
  • 35. Transformative Paradigm ❑ In the late 19th century, Karl Marx mentioned that industrial societies increase division between rich and poor classes. Ex. Income inequality, the working class were being oppressed by people in power, especially the owners of manufacturing plan. ❑ Feminist theory contributed of transformative paradigm because it explores power structure that create and recreate gendered differentiations in societies. ❑ The realities are socially constructed entities that under the constant internal influence. ❑ The ontological position is historical realism, which is the view of that reality has been shaped by social, political, cultural, economic, ethical, gender values. ❑ It believes that reality is not single, but it is multiple. ❑ Knowledge is socially constructed and at the same time influenced by power relations from within society. ❑ Reality is alterable by human actions. @alahmadim2010
  • 36. Transformative paradigm Multiple (layer) realities, intangible, changeable, produce of human political, culture, economic, race, ethics, gender, disabilities value. Knowledge is an interactive, socially constructed, mind- dependent, dialectic; cannot be generalized. Action research, Critical discourse analysis, Critical ethnography, ……. Quantitative , Qualitative, Mixed methods. Triangulation, Systematised reflexivity, member checks, energizes participants. Ontology Axiology Epistemology Methodology Methods Aim To ideology critique, to question educational practices; to change and develop policies, emancipate, release Qualitative OR Quantitative Mixed Methods OR @alahmadim2010
  • 38. Transformative Research questions 1. How are gender issues represented in EFL curricula? 2. What kind of values are represented in the 2nd intermediate Arabic curriculum ? 3. What roles do teachers/ supervisors play in curriculum development? 4. How are special needs represented in official curricula ? @alahmadim2010
  • 40. Pragmatism Paradigm ❑ It links the choice of research paradigm directly to the purpose and nature of the research questions (Creswell 2003) ❑ In reality, a decision of whether to take quantitative or qualitative are based on a belief of design and methodology being the best suited to research aim, not based on the philosophical position. ❑ The essence of a pragmatist ontology is actions and change; humans acting in a world which is in a constant state of becoming. ❑ The world is thus changed through reason and action and there is an inseparable link between human knowing and human action. ❑ Pragmatism emphasises the active role of the researcher in creating data and theories. ❑ Experimentation in the world is pivotal. ❑ Both Quantitative and Qualitative research methods may be used in one study. @alahmadim2010
  • 41. Pragmatism paradigm Anti-ontological philosophy; single/ multiple reality, the view that is chosen to best answer the research question (Truth is what works at the time?). Research problem is centred Either subjective or objective meanings can provide facts to a research question; focus on practical application to issues by merging views to help interpret data. Role of researcher: Unbiased, biased. Mixed methods: Quantitative and Qualitative Combining of multi-methods in one research Values play a vital role to interpret results using subjective and objective reasoning Ontology Axiology Epistemology Methodology Methods Aim To Explain, to Explore, to Compare, to Develop, …… Qualitative Quantitative + Consequences of actions; Problem-centered; Pluralistic; Real- world practice oriented

  • 46. Questions can help researcher to select an appropriate paradigm Dash (2005, p. 4) provides several questions you should ask in selecting a paradigm and methodology: 1. What is the nature or essence of the social phenomena being investigated? 2. Is the social phenomena objective in nature or created and depended in the human mind? 3. What are the bases of knowledge corresponding to the social reality, and how can knowledge be acquired and disseminated? 4. What is the relationship of an individual with her environment? Is she conditioned by the environment or is the environment created by her? @alahmadim2010
