In this assignment, you will write a paper no longer than 1500 words on your research paradigm/interpretive framework and theoretical perspective(s). You will provide a description of your chosen paradigm that will guide your dissertation research and a rationale for choosing the paradigm. You will also describe the ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions of the paradigm, providing 1-2 examples on how your dissertation research reflects each dimension. (if you are reimagining your topic with a qualitative design you will complete this exercise with that lens in mind, rather than the paradigm that would go with your quantitative study). Be sure to include your word count at the end (references are not included in your word count). You do not need to submit a cover page or abstract for this assignment. You may find our January Griffin day readings and class session materials helpful in supporting the completion of this assignment. I’ve also included a brief description of my dissertation topic and a summary of my research topic for your reference in completing this assignment. Finally, I’ve also attached examples provided by the instructor for the course for your review.
