What is a Theory?
As mentioned above, a theory explains a phenomenon or presents a relationship that exists. It allows us to understand the nature of a certain phenomenon and the causal relationships that exist in it. Theories provide us with a generalized picture usually without any exceptions. Theories are testable and can be falsified.
What is a Paradigm?
Unlike a theory, a paradigm is much broader. It refers to a theoretical framework. Just as theories, in all sciences, there are paradigms that work as frames of reference that help academics to channel their observations and findings. They are not very explicit as theories. It is paradigms that usually lay behind theories allowing us to look at things in a particular angel. It provides us with an outlook to understanding things
