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.
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. A theory always has evidence and can be tested by anyone and acquire the same result which guarantees the truth it holds. In all sciences, there are theories that create new knowledge and brings about development in a particular science. In order to come up with a theory a certain procedure has to be followed. The theorist engages in experiments, observations and uses a variety of scientific methods in order to logically build up a theory. Theorists also use hypothesis that are tested again and again in order to create a theory. Newton’s law of gravity and Marx’s theory of class are some examples for theories.
