Technique Overview
Paradigm and Paradigm Shifting Definition
Although the term 'paradigm' has been around for a long time, wide acceptance and usage of the concept is mainly fuelled by Kuhn’s (1962) seminal work ‘The Structure of Scientific Revolutions’. Kuhn defined scientific paradigms as "accepted examples of actual scientific practice that include laws, theory, application and instrumentation that provide models from which particular coherent traditions of scientific research springs’’. Baker (1992) defined a paradigm as "a set of rules and regulations that establishes or defines boundaries and tells you how to behave inside those boundaries".
