Abstract |
|
|
| In this paper, the principal elements of research paradigms in terms of epistemological approaches are presented and reviewed. The epistemological perspectives considering the specificity of the field of Higher Education that includes institutional management, educational approaches, physical requirements, and socio-economic and cultural dimensions are presented. Thus, the epistemological approaches which are mainly the positivism, constructivism and interpretivism as well as derived approaches, are debated. Noting that many difficulties are to be encountered if the research adopts a unique and ultimate epistemological approach due to the complexity of the subject and environmental plurality that preludes the limitations to canonical paradigms. |
