A research paradigm, or set of common beliefs about research, should be a key facet of any research project. However, despite its importance, there is a paucity of general understanding in the medical sciences education community regarding what a research paradigm consists of and how to best construct one. With the move within medical sciences education towards greater methodological rigor, it is now more important than ever for all educators to understand simply how to better approach their research via paradigms. In this monograph, a simplified approach to selecting an appropriate research paradigm is outlined. Suggestions are based on broad literature, medical education sources, and the author's own experiences in solidifying and communicating their research paradigms. By assisting in detailing the philosophical underpinnings of individuals research approaches, this guide aims to help all researchers improve the rigor of their projects and improve upon overall understanding in research communication.
一种研究范式，即关于研究的一套共同信念，应该是任何研究项目的关键要素。然而，尽管其很重要，但医学教育界对研究范式的构成以及如何最好地构建一个研究范式普遍缺乏了解。随着医学教育朝着更严格的方法论方向发展，现在对所有教育工作者来说，理解如何通过范式更好地开展研究比以往任何时候都更加重要。在这本专著中，概述了一种选择合适研究范式的简化方法。这些建议基于广泛的文献、医学教育资源以及作者自身在巩固和传达其研究范式方面的经验。通过协助详细阐述个人研究方法的哲学基础，本指南旨在帮助所有研究人员提高其项目的严谨性，并增进研究交流中的整体理解。
