Introduction This paper will provide a hypothetical discussion of how each of the four “worldviews” (post-positivism, constructivism, advocacy/participatory, and pragmatism) might apply to the proposed study. It will refer to the topic paper developed during the class RSH9101B (Research Topic, Problem, Purpose, and Questions) with the assistance of Dr. Kenneth Gossett, class mentor. The portion of the Topic Paper to be used will be the problem statement, which will provide the foundation for this
This paper explains my paradigm position as a researcher. It further clarifies the ontological and epistemological considerations within the paradigm and lastly it explains the role of the researcher in terms of positionality, values and the voice in the process of knowledge development. Ingelaere (2016) defined a Paradigm as a theoretical outline of traditions or beliefs and laws that guides research in various scientific communities.

After further examination of the relevant literature, a pragmatic approach has also been taken into consideration within this paper. I will discuss in detail about human perception and assumption and the impact that this can have on research investigation. I will critically discuss and compare the epistemological differences of quantitative and qualitative research approaches with an additional focus on a mixed
