Using Research Paradigms

The type of paradigm presented by the article is quantitative research.  This is because it utilizes techniques that are structured highly and rigidly. This is additionally significance in the provision of a much broader insight base on the analysis and course thus generating recommendations.

            The articles findings and recommendations were enhanced by the quantitative research paradigm used as it helped in investigating the cause and the actions course for the research questions. The article is associated with the following quantitative research characteristics, analysis, recommendation, based on numerical measurements, associated with research designs that can be pre-determined, reliability and validity can be tested and the articles objective was emphasized more on proof more than discovery (Slater, & Hinds, 2014).  This is in that the article was purposed to establish the connection between student’s perceptions, experiences of home nutrition and home food economics. This was therefore not based on discovering something new (Giddens, & Sutton, 2010). This can thus be pre-determined using the developed research questions by analyzing the questions. Additionally the article provided a detailed analysis of the findings before developing the stated limitations, recommendations as well as the conclusion (Slater, & Hinds, 2014). The study was able to provide a detailed analysis of the research questions based on the findings which was supported by the quantitative research paradigm.  Proof was additionally discovered on the significance at it was not based on discoveries.

School based education for home economics is worth being incorporated in provisional education system because it teaches significant and valuable life skills. This is mainly because it provides adequate knowledge of food independence, health as well as preparations.  Additionally it helps in creating awareness among individuals which assists in developing informed choices in relation to food.  It should therefore be included as it is crucial in transforming individual’s life’s outcomes through the development of better and equipped choices.

The findings may be utilized to compare the associated benefits and effects in regard to the education system. Additionally the results can be utilized to inform students on the importance of economics food and nutrition education system in school as well as in life. This can be utilized further in developing further research in future to develop more relations in regard to the system.

            The findings of the study have changed my knowledge in regard to home economics as well as nutrition education because of the stated benefits.  This is because in the current world dieting changes are required and awareness creation is the best strategy to solve the existing health issues.  Additionally I have advanced the knowledge on the skills that the education system may bring to the students.
