A Study on Defining Research Paradigms in Preparing Master’s Theses from the Field of Sociology
研究了社会学硕士生在论文中如何界定研究范式，发现定量范式占主导，混合方法设计存在但很少被明确定义。
The requirement for completion of post-graduate, master and doctoral study programs is producing an individual thesis. For many students, this is the first step into research. The research question in this article, therefore, is how students in their master thesis define the paradigms. We found that in the sample the quantitative paradigm is prevailing, while the mixed methods design is present, yet both of them are seldom defined.
