Paradigm and method: the relationship between philosophy and research
practice
What is the nature of reality?
What kind of knowledge can we have about reality?
How can we investigate reality?
What is the picture that we paint of reality?

Key terms• Ontology – basic assumptions about the nature of
reality.• Epistemology – basic assumptions about what we can
know about reality, and about the relationship between knowledge and reality.
• Paradigm - Overarching perspective concerning appropriate research practice, based on ontological and epistemological assumptions
• Methodology - Specifies how the researcher may go about practically studying whatever he / she believes can be known.

Paradigms in social science research
Three basic paradigms
Positivism Interpretivism Constructionism
![Page 10: Qualitative Research Mthods 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/557202bf4979599169a40558/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Ontology
What is the nature of reality?
• If there were no human beings, might there still be galaxies, trees and rocks?
• Would they still be beautiful?
Positivist paradigm: Interpretivist paradigm:Stable, law-like reality ‘out Multiple, emergent, there.’ shifting reality.
NB of subjective experience
![Page 11: Qualitative Research Mthods 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/557202bf4979599169a40558/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
EpistemologyWhat is knowledge?What is the relationship betweenknowledge and reality?
• If there were no human beings, would there still be three basic types of rock? • Did the unconscious exist before Freud?
Positivism InterpretivismMeaning exists in the world. Meaning exists in our
interpretations of the world.
Knowledge reflects reality. Knowledge is interpretation.

Methodology : The Positivist Paradigm
Positivist research involves “… precise empirical observations of individual behaviour in order to discover … probabilistic causal laws that can be used to predict general patterns of human activity” (Neuman, 1997: 63)
• Objective, value-free discovery
![Page 13: Qualitative Research Mthods 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/557202bf4979599169a40558/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Methodology: The Interpretive Paradigm
The study of social life involves skills that “are more like the skills of literary or dramatic criticism and of poetics than the skills of physical scientists.” (Rom Harre, quoted in Phillips, 1987, p105)
• Importance of the researcher’s perspective and the interpretative nature of social reality.

Example of Interpretivist research: “My hope lies in adversity” (Smit, 2003)
Research problem:• Children living on a garbage dump in a
South African town. • Ineffectiveness of social programmes
supplying these children with food, clothing and shelter .
![Page 16: Qualitative Research Mthods 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/557202bf4979599169a40558/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Theoretical departure point
All behaviour is based on interpretation. Therefore, “the perspectives and experiences of those who are served by applied programmes must be grasped, interpreted and understood if solid, effective applied programmes are to be created.” (Denzin, 1989, p12)
![Page 17: Qualitative Research Mthods 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/557202bf4979599169a40558/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Research methods
• “Hanging out” on the garbage dump, informal conversations with the children there.
• Small group discussions - stories from the children’s lives.
• Informal conversations with other members of the community
![Page 18: Qualitative Research Mthods 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/557202bf4979599169a40558/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Findings
At home:
• Basic material and emotional needs unmet - sadness, loneliness, lack of support.
• Sense of not belonging - lack of interest of adults
• Hopelessness
![Page 19: Qualitative Research Mthods 1](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062312/557202bf4979599169a40558/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Findings
On the dump:
• Basic needs met - ‘waste picking’.• Hope - surprise element in the contents of every load.• Social context - sense of support and belonging. Children described feeling happy, peaceful, accepted and
supported, understood and in control.• Despite difficulties, children desired to remain on the dump due to
the hope and support they experienced and the feeling of control over their lives they derived :“When I’m not on the garbage dump, the only way is to steal and then I get into trouble. But on the dump, what I find there is mine.”

Conclusion
While removal from the physical dangers of the dump meets basic physical needs, it simultaneously wrenches these children out of the context within which the hope and support that are central to their lives are created and sustained.
