This document discusses research paradigms and how to write the significance of a study. A research paradigm is a framework that shows the relationship between variables in a study. There are three main paradigms: correlational, which investigates relationships between two variables without manipulation; cause and effect, which establishes relationships through manipulation of an independent variable; and causal sequence, which attempts to explain cause and effect relationships. When writing the significance of a study, consider the problem statement and benefits to stakeholders like students, teachers, and future researchers. Be specific, concise, and direct in describing the study's contributions.
