2. This power point presentation was created by Ignacio Vargas on March, 2011. This Power Point presentation is an introduction to two of the three most common research methodology paradigms —qualitative, quantitative and mixed—. A paradigm is considered as a point of view or a behavior based on a set of assumptions, concepts, and values that are held by either community or researchers. In this case, quantitave paradigm and qualitative paradigm are going to be briefly conceptualized so that the technical bases for the IO-5600 course become solid since the very first moment, and this will be accomplished by defining key terms.
