Description

This book provides insights into the lived experiences of researchers as they negotiate the undulating terrain of the world of paradigms and seek to find their niche. Each chapter presents the journeys of postgraduate candidates, early career researchers and established scholars, starting with an overview of their paradigm, the application of the paradigm to their specific research context, and concluding with the authors reflecting on their identification with and use of the paradigm. The volume acknowledges that determining the paradigm that best aligns with a scholar’s personal ideologies and the underlying assumptions of the research can be rather daunting, challenging and perplexing to scholars who are starting their research journey. It offers an accessible exploration of research paradigms and will be a valuable resource for postgraduate researchers, emerging scholars and PhD supervisors.

Reviews

Among Polish methodological books there is no publication which as clearly as [this book] encourages to develop cognitive research curiosity by applying and developing already known paradigms but also by modifying them depending on the socio-cultural context of the research. The foundations are always ontology, epistemology, and methodology, but the researcher’s own sensitivity cannot be overestimated here. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for practical applications of paradigms, but the subject of their research cannot be clearly categorized.

- Rozalia Małgorzata Ligus, University of Wrocław, Poland, Kultura i Educakja 2021, No. 4
This is a topical book that fills a gap in the tourism and hospitality literature by providing under one cover theoretical explanations and practical guidelines on how to select and implement a research paradigm. The book is equally valuable to research students, early career scholars and also scholars teaching research methods.
- Marianna Sigala, University of South Australia, Australia
This book offers comprehensive guidance for emerging scholars to explore different knowledge paths. It examines several paradigms based on dominant methodologies and methods to help understand the revolutions in thinking which followed transformative discoveries. The book presents a range of beliefs, values and techniques and helps early career scholars to position their research and facilitate the mapping of their research journey.
