Detailed explanation-1: -Pragmatism is a deconstructive paradigm that encourages the use of mixed methods in research.
Detailed explanation-2: -The quantitative paradigm is based on positivism. Science is characterized by empirical research; all phenomena can be reduced to empirical indicators which represent the truth.
Detailed explanation-3: -Fundamental studies tend to make generalizations about the phenomenon, and the philosophy of this type of studies can be explained as ‘gathering knowledge for the sake of knowledge’.
Detailed explanation-4: -The goal of most qualitative studies is not to generalize but rather to provide a rich, contextualized understanding of some aspect of human experience through the intensive study of particular cases.
Detailed explanation-5: -Generalisable: Qualitative findings are not generalisable (extending findings from study sample to the population at large); however, they are not intended to be.
