Abstract:
Current study is focused on the concept of the paradigm, its characteristics and stages of development. In the system of scientific knowledge, the concept of the paradigm is very important because it shows how specific traditions of the scientific research emerge from various models. This concept includes all the achievements accumulated during a certain period of time. Therefore, the concept of the paradigm represents various methods and solutions for problem situations developed by the scientific community at a certain stage of development. The changing of the initial conditions of the paradigm causes a paradigm shift, which includes the following periods: pre-paradigm, “normal science”, extraordinary science, and scientific revolution ones.
Keywords: research program;, disciplinary matrix, paradigm shift, Paradigm
