Answer 1

The key difference between paradigm and theory is that a theory provides us with an explanation of a phenomenon while a paradigm acts as a theoretical or else a philosophical framework. This article attempts to further explain both concepts and the difference between them as both, paradigm and theory, are important concepts in all sciences, and we hear them used very often. Paradigm and theory are two different concepts, but are related to one another,  A single paradigm can have a number of theories within and assists academics to formulate theories using the paradigm as a reference.
