I am currently writing a paper on research paradigms.

My task is to create 4 hypothetical questions from 4 different research paradigms.

They are:
Positivism.
Interpretivism.
Constructionism.
Critical Research.

The area in which I am interested is Social and Emotional Learning.

I have my research question for positivism.

But I am stuck on the last 3.

Can anyone help???

I am really struggling.

H there,

Do you need help in writing assignment or just research part?

Would love hear more detail from you.

Dear Sir,

Thank you for taking the time to respond to my request.

I am student in Mexico and I`m currently researching research paradigms.

My task is to write a research question for each of the following paradigms.

1. Positivism.
2. Interpretivism.
3. Constructionism.
4. Critical Research.

An area of educational research that interests me is Social and Emotional Learning.

I know that there is a lot of research on SEL in primary schools but not high schools.

The “school" I will be researching consists of students of low socio-economic background.

My understanding of the research paradigms is good (I think) but I wanted to know if I was on the right lines.

Positivist Research Question:
What effect does social and emotional learning have on students`attitudes towards learning?
Why? Attitude effects behaviour.
This kind of research is measurable.
I would observe and question a group of students at the beginning of the year (with little SEL).
Then I would re-observe and re-question the same group of students at the end of the year (with lots of SEL).
I would then compare and contrast the data collected.
This will prove or disprove my hypotheses that SEL does have positive effects.

Interpretivist Research Question:
Are students more likely to enter higher education because of/exposure to Social and Emotional Learning?
Why? Meaning is constructed by individuals and their environment.
This will be an exploratory research.
Not measurable but about people`s unique experiences.
The goal is to understand better what`s going on.
I would conduct interviews and ethnography with individual students.

Does this make sense according to each paradigm?

Any feedback would be most welcome.

THANK YOU,

anyone?
