    Interpretive paradigm: It is usually associ- ated with qualitative research strategies. It is specifically applicable in social sciences such as sociology, political science, etc. According to interpretive approach, the research design should be flexible and unstructured, the methods should be valid, and the research design should generate small-scale and intensive data, using insider accounts and based on descriptions of what is seen and what is heard.

    Positivist paradigm: It is associated with quantitative research strategies. There is one particular view of how research should be con- ducted, which suggests that we should carry out research in social sciences in ways that are similar to the methods within the natural sci- ences (physics, chemistry, and biology). This is called the positivist or scientific approach. According to the positivist approach, the research design should be highly structured, the methods should be reliable, and the research design should aim to generate large- scale, statistically based studies.
