This article is a study that discusses and examines the concept of qualitative research paradigms in the realm of Citizenship Education science which has been dominated by the tradition of positivistic. The conception of truth which is the subject of a paradigm is reviewed through the perspective of the philosophy of science, from the ontological, epistemological and axiological point of view using the method of literature review. Citizenship Education as a scientific discipline that studies humans as material for study today is still much influenced by positivistic traditions that are identical with numbers and statistics. Citizenship Education experiences an epistemological crisis in terms of theory, but in essence, Citizenship Education aims to create good citizens, so that the need for theory as a result of the tradition of paradigmatic thinking which emphasize qualitative approach is very crucial.---------------------- Artikel ini merupakan studi untuk memahami dan mengkaji konsep paradigma penelitian kualitatif dalam ranah keilmuan Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan yang selama ini didominasi oleh tradisi positivistik. Konsepsi mengenai kebenaran yang menjadi bahasan paradigma ditinjau melalui sudut pandang filosofis ilmu pengetahuan, yakni dari segi ontologis, epistimologis dan aksiologis dengan menggunakan metode studi literatur. Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan sebagai disiplin ilmu yang mempelajari manusia sebagai bahan kajiannya saat ini masih banyak dipengaruhi tradisi positivistik yang identik dengan angka dan statistika. Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan mengalami krisis epistimologis dalam segi teori, padahal hakikatnya, Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan bertujuan untuk terwujudnya warga negara yang baik, sehingga kebutuhan teori sebagai hasil dari tradisi berpikir paradigmatik yang menekankan pendekatan kualitatif sangat krusial.

Group Technique

Use of the focus group technique is widespread in qualitative marketing research. The technique is considered here from a philosophy of science perspective which points to a confusion of three distinct approaches to focus groups in current commercial practice. An understanding of the differences among these approaches, and of the complex nature of qualitative research, is shown to have important implications for the use of focus groups.

English Academic Writing

Lexical bundles are pervasive in English academic writing; however, little scholarly attention has been paid to how quantitative and qualitative research paradigms influence the use of lexical bundles in research articles. In order to investigate this, we created two equal-size corpora of research articles in the discipline of education. We examined four-word lexical bundles in terms of their structural characteristics and discourse functions in the quantitative and qualitative research articles published in international English-medium journals. We attribute intra-disciplinary variations in the use of lexical bundles to the knowledge-making practices that are specific to quantitative and qualitative research articles. This paper provides further evidence that the research article is not a unitary construct. The results have implications for academic writing, and corpus building and design in academic discourse. One of the key implications of this study is that L2 novice writers need to take into account the influences of research paradigms on the use of lexical bundles when writing research articles for English-medium journals in the discipline of education.

Reconsidering theoretical naïveté in psychological qualitative research

Do So

This article proposes a reconsideration of the view that, in order to better grasp the objects they study, qualitative researchers should bracket their preconceived ideas, particularly their theoretical assumptions. This view has led to the advocacy of theoretical naïveté in the context of research, particularly in qualitative settings. We argue that such naïveté presupposes a simplistic dichotomy between theory and empirical data and, therefore, drawing from current developments in the philosophy of science, we propose reconsidering the view of theoretical naïveté in light of the distinction between theory, phenomena, and data. After discussing approaches that do not recognize the phenomenon as a mediator between theory and data or that do so only partially, we propose an approach that explicitly assigns a mediating role to phenomena. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications that substantive rehabilitation of theory in the construction of scientific phenomena will have for qualitative research in general and for psychology in particular.

This paper contains a plea for sociologists of education to utilise qualitative research methods, particularly fieldwork, in order to advance our understanding of the motives and meanings of actors in educational contexts. Some of the major problems of conducting fieldwork in schools—problems of time and working hours, conflicting research paradigms, interpersonal relations in institutional settings and financial and moral support—are discussed. Examples are drawn from the writer's research experience in three schools in Adelaide, South Australia and analysed within a conceptual framework which stresses the importance of the establishment and maintenance of inter-subjective understandings for the conduct of action-oriented research in schools. Some solutions to the problems of the reciprocal bias which too often exists between researchers and research subjects are proffered in the belief that fieldwork, as a method, provides a sound basis for overcoming such problems.

Production Research

A widely accepted orthodoxy is that it is impossible to do replication studies within qualitative research paradigms. Ontologically and epistemologically speaking, such a view is largely correct. However, in this paper, I propose that what I call comparative re-production research—that is, the empirical study of qualitative phenomena that occur in one context, which are then shown also to obtain in another—is a well-attested practice in ethnomethodological conversation analysis (CA). By extension, I further argue that researchers who do research on second and foreign language (L2) classrooms inspired by the conversation analysis-for-second-language acquisition movement should engage in comparative re-production research in order to make broad statements about the generality or prototypicality of the qualitative organization of particular practices across languages, cultures and institutional contexts.

An introduction and explanation of the epistemological differences of quantitative and qualitative research paradigms is first provided, followed by an overview of the realist philosophical paradigm, which attempts to accommodate the two. From this foundational discussion, the paper then introduces the concept of meaning ma king in research methods and looks at how meaning is generated from qualitative data analysis specifically. Finally, some examples from the literature of how meaning can be constructed and organized using a qualitative data analysis approach are provided. The paper aims to provide an introduction to research methodologies, coupled with a discussion on how meaning making actually occurs through qualitative data analysis.

Critical Feminist

Qualitative research mentorship is essential to the development of counseling psychology as a field that supports socially just and multicultural inquiry. This type of research aligns with the core values proposed by the American Psychological Association. However, the governing beliefs and practices of neoliberal structures in higher education challenge critical qualitative research mentorship in counseling psychology. Namely, the values of economic gain promote practices that may constrain the potential for effective mentoring and socially just qualitative research practices. In opposition to these forces, we propose a critical multicultural feminist praxis for qualitative research mentoring. Critical feminist multicultural mentoring attends to systemic and relational power dynamics through transparency, collaboration, reflexivity, and attention to context. We describe the assumptions of critical feminist multicultural mentoring and apply them to case vignettes to illustrate ways to mentor students engaging in socially just qualitative research. In our discussion, we articulate implementation, policy, and research implications.
