    Research Approach

    • Positivist Paradigm
    o Is a reflection of a broader cultural phenomenon (modernism) that emphasizes the
    rational and the scientific. The fundamental assumption of positivists is that there is a
    reality that can be studied and known, thus their research is focused on understanding
    underlying causes of natural phenomena.
    • Postpositivist Paradigm
    o Believe in reality and has a desire to understand it but recognize the impossibility of
    total objectivity and see it as a goal.
    • Naturalistic Paradigm (sometimes called Constructivist Paradigm)
    o According to naturalist reality is not a fixed entity but rather a construction of the
    individual.
    o Assumes that knowledge is maximized when the distance between the inquirer and
    the participants in the study is minimized.

    • Writing INTRODUCTION section of your research paper

    reader to keep them reading. Therefore it should be catchy and not so lengthy, this is to
    prevent the reader from getting bored. The introduction part of your paper is not a merely

    of doing the current literature review on the topic of interest. This also include the research
    question, hypothesis, purpose and contribution to the profession. Commonly this is 3-4
    paragraphs with 3-4 sentences each. Keep in mind to do proper citation of your
    references.

    research paper

    question or intent of the study and hypothesis to fill the gap or answer the
    identified problems of the topic of interest.
