Session 1: Research Paradigms

Step 1: Facilitator provides an overview to the concept of


“paradigm” [An illustrative example could be how participants
can describe any object presented to them in various ways- in our
session at Mak-we displayed “a bag” and asked participants to
define/describe it.
Step 2: Share the various paradigm readings among the
suggested groups.
Step 3: Encourage reading and analysis of text on the assigned
paradigm
Step 4. Groups make summaries of the paradigm by addressing
the following activity questions and present them:
• a.What features of the qualitative research paradigm
will your study pay attention to in the research
process?
• b.What value and/or data will your study miss, if it
does not pay attention to the qualitative paradigm
features?
• c. In terms of application, participants can identify
how these paradigm features can be applied to an
authentic research topic.
