This article focuses on the research paradigm of positivism, examining its definition, history, and assumptions (ontology, epistemology, axiology, methodology, and rigor). Positivism is aligned with the hypothetico-deductive model of science that builds on verifying a priori hypotheses and experimentation by operationalizing variables and In this chapter, I will provide a simple and practical introduction to constructivist grounded theory (CGT) using my own research on the impact of This presentations offers a brief introduction to popular research paradigms: (post-)positivism, constructivism, and pragmatism.

Purpose Traditional approaches in qualitative research have adopted one research paradigm linked to an established typology. This paper addresses the unconventional This article explores constructivism as a theory in qualitative educational research. The framework of applicability of constructivism as a theory includes the guiding principles of applying it as well as the various types of constructivism in qualitative educational research.

In fact, constructivism taps into and triggers the student’s innate curiosity about the world and how things work. Students do not reinvent the wheel but, rather, attempt to understand how it turns, how it functions This article examines constructivism, a paradigm in qualitative research that has been propagated by Egon Guba, Yvonna Lincoln, and Norman Jan Bradley Morris.

There are five common philosophical paradigms used in the research and they are: Constructivist grounded theory fosters asking emergent critical questions throughout inquiry. This method also encourages (a) interrogating the taken-for-granted methodological individualism pervading much of qualitative research and (b) taking a deeply reflexive stance called methodological self-consciousness, which leads researchers to Principles of Constructivist Learning. The guiding principles of the Constructivist approach can help teachers to implement it in the classroom. 1. Knowledge is constructed. Each of us has pre-existing knowledge that we use to reflect on new information we receive. 2. Learning is an active process
