Paradigmatic Conceptual Framework
A paradigm is an assumption about the understanding of the worldview based on the theories which have been identified by the scientific community, and all the experiments and observations surrounding this belief.
The paradigmatic shift is a
popular concept given by the American physicist and philosopher Thomas Kuhn, where the focus was on the fundamental change which we see from the perspective of concepts and experimental practices of a scientific discipline.
The notion and the whole concept of this paradigmatic shift were given to the world by him in his influential book “The Structure of Scientific Revolutions (1962)”.
The Kuhn Cycle
· Normal Science: Normal science is the most prominent stage in science, where according to Kuhn a dominant paradigm is active. The paradigm that is talked about here is the set of theories and the ideas which give the scientists and other researchers a clear definition of what is possible, with certain tools that can be used to approach problems. The examples given by Kuhn in his book are:
· Newtonian Physics
· Theory of Electromagnetism
The whole concept of normal science is where Kuhn stresses that this is the stage where anomalies occur, because two users of an atom may operate with different paradigms (i.e., chemist and physicist). Popular environmentalism is in the pre-science step, but they still assume that they are in the normal science step
· Model Drift: Because there are anomalies, therefore the field of science digs itself to answer the new questions which cannot be answered using the current understanding and science. With the increase in the anomalies because of the no-answer, the whole model grows weaker and gives rise to the model drift step, where the model is losing its worth
· Model Crisis: The actual paradigm shift occurs at this step because the anomalies have started to become serious, and this is where the attempt is made to remove those anomalies because of the constant fail, when this happens new ideas which challenge the existing paradigm are developed. The step is also a boundary where if the anomalies can be resolved they are resolved and the crisis gets over after the resolution, but if not, the scientific revolution occurs which starts the whole change in the paradigm which we also call a paradigm shift
· Model Revolution: The step where the new paradigm is established, this is major because of the psychological and sociological behaviour. The new paradigm which is established is closer to the objectives which were not answered by the existing principles and therefore the anomalies which led to the revolution and the change in the paradigm. One thing to note which was stated by Kuhn is that the new paradigm...
