Hi there

I was wondering if you would allow usage of the writing image you have attached to oyur comments online? I am creating a website for our school and would love to be able to use this animation.

Many thanks for your consideration.

Kind regards

Louise

Hi Arvind,

That is a good question. To answer this question, let's consider that is a paradigm, and why paradigm is necessary and important.

According to Kuhn, "A paradigm is what members of a scientific community, and they alone, share.” Basically, people in the same paradigm have basic assumptions that they all share. Based on these agreements, science is developed. Otherwise, the only things can grow are conflicts.

When it comes to the point that when people in the same paradigm can not agree with each other, which probably means that some one finds that there are some errors in the assumptions that they previously agreed upon, and these people insist that these assumptions impede the development of science, then, at this time, a phenomenon called paradigm shift takes place. And science is developed further.

So back to your question,a quick answer would be that science needs to be developed within a paradigm,(that is why always "pre-mature" is not good) and scientific breakthroughs take place when paradigm shifts.

Hi Honglu,

I liked your blogpost. however, i just have one question. down the line, if ischools go about integrating different paradigms and methods, bringing forth a new 'ischool paradigm', then does that paradigm again creates its own 'boundary' and stop being inclusive? is it better to continue in a state of flux (which some call it as pre-mature), than trying to derive an *i-school paradigm*?

Really interesting reaction and reflection! -- with the privacy instrumentm, you may have found a dissertation topic.

'Which effect is more dominant depends on who is using the technology.' -- what about context?
