Abstract

The lack of literature in Kurdish language on research paradigms in the field of social sciences
creates complications for new researchers. This paper attempts to discuss some of the basic issues of
social science research in order to provide a clear presentation for researchers in this field. The
purpose of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the different research paradigms. Examines the
philosophical underpinnings of three major paradigms: positivism, Interpretivism, and critical theory.
The paper reviews the literature on research paradigms, identifies differences between the mentioned
paradigms, and explains their ontological and epistemological positions. It also carefully defines and
explores different research methodologies and methods. It emphasizes that we need to be careful in
our choice of research paradigm and to design our research with a clear connection between the nature
of the paradigm and the theoretical framework of research. The decision to choose a philosophical
perspective for the study of a phenomenon is important to be guided by the demands and needs of a
study rather than a rigid insistence on adhering to a particular philosophical perspective to the
exclusion of others. It is important that researchers adopt an appropriate approach to the choice of
research methods or combination of methods, but the choice of any research method should not be
interpreted as indicative of an ontological or epistemological position, in the sense that the choice of
research paradigm takes precedence.
