    A research paradigm is a worldview informed by philosophical assumptions about the nature of reality, ways of knowing, ethics and values, and approaches to inquiry. There are four interrelated philosophical assumptions that define a research paradigm: ontology, which is beliefs about the nature of reality; epistemology, which is how we know what we know; axiology, which are beliefs about what is true; and methodology, which are appropriate ways to systematically study the world.
