A scientific paradigm is the set of theoretical and methodological assumptions shared by practitioners of a scientific discipline, including laws, models, concepts, experimental techniques, and the implicit know-how needed to apply them. Originating from Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, the notion of a scientific paradigm remains for many a fundamental unit for understanding scientific practice and change. While paradigms seems to effectively describe the structure of mature natural sciences like physics, their applicability to psychology and other human sciences remains contested.

Abstract
A scientific paradigm is the set of theoretical and methodological assumptions shared by practitioners of a scientific discipline, including laws, models, concepts, experimental techniques, and the implicit know-how needed to apply them. Originating from Thomas Kuhn’s The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, the notion of a scientific paradigm remains for many a fundamental unit for understanding scientific practice and change. While paradigms seems to effectively describe the structure of mature natural sciences like physics, their applicability to psychology and other human sciences remains contested.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
