according to the video case what is a paradigm shift?, a paradigm shift is characterized in which of the following ways?
A paradigm shift is a fundamental change in the basic assumptions, beliefs, or framework through which people understand a field, problem, or reality.
In general, a paradigm shift is characterized by:
- A major change in worldview
- The old way of seeing or explaining things is replaced by a new one (for example, geocentric to heliocentric view of the universe).
- Replacement of an existing framework
- The existing “paradigm” (set of concepts, rules, and methods) collapses or is abandoned and a new framework becomes dominant.
- Triggered by new information or evidence
- New discoveries or facts appear that the old paradigm cannot explain, forcing people to adopt a different way of thinking and acting.
- Radical, not incremental, change
- It is not a small adjustment or improvement; it is a deep, transformative shift in how a problem, field, or situation is understood.
- Often chaotic and contested
- During the shift there is conflict between supporters of the old paradigm and advocates of the new one, until consensus gradually forms around the new model.
If your “video case” is the common teaching video on paradigm shifts, it usually defines a paradigm shift as a significant change in perceptions and beliefs that leads people to alter their thoughts and actions to match new knowledge.
