Research is studying a phenomena from different perspectives

A paradigm is defined as the framework based on the beliefs to view world phenomena leading towards conducting a research study on a certain problem in order to find its alternative solutions. Thus, a paradigm of research is a thought that emerged from the beliefs and assumptions of a researcher which leads to carrying on with a research study. 

Educational research is the systematic inquiry of any phenomenon in order to solve a problem related to teaching and learning. Epistemologically, the knowledge is true when it is explored through a planned inquiry of any educational phenomenon which could be utilized in real-life problems. The knowledge which is persisting in phenomena occurred on daily basis and we came to know that knowledge through our planned inquiry. 

Our way of looking at things will influence the way we search for exploring that knowledge. Justification for we know what we know and how we know leads to find the true knowledge hidden in daily life phenomena. Reality refers to the hidden messages in phenomena that can be useful for human life which needs to be found through in-depth inquiry using relevant tools. People define reality in different ways according to their beliefs in real objects and worldly phenomena. 

However, reality concerns the purpose for which that particular object or phenomenon has been created naturally. Research should strive to explore that ultimate reality hidden in those objects and phenomena. Methodology while conducting research should be mixed method with a design of cause and effect relationship. 

The assumption may be held that clear and transparent procedures and steps without influenced by other factors will explore real cause and effect relationships within the daily life phenomena. Systematic random sampling technique to select research participants is helpful for generalizations and replication so that the actual findings could be obtained. Inductive approach while conducting research would be supportive to make generalizations. 

Data collection techniques such as observation, semi-structured interviews, and group discussion may prove to be the relevant tools for carrying out research studies. Internal and external validity, reliability of the tools will ensure that the findings and results are real and on a factual basis. Critical review and feedback from an experienced professional during the process of research will serve as quality criteria.
