Abstract

Many scholars pay much attention to the concept about paradigms for research on teaching. Over 16 articles use the topic as title, which shows the importance of this concept. Wong (1991) wrote an article to analyze different categorization proposed by various scholars. Based on Wong (1991), this article tries to provide an critical review on these categorization. This article is divided into four main parts: 1. suggestion to the definition of paradigm; 2. brief synthesis on the various categorization of paradigms for research on teaching; 3. comment on the categorization, and a proposal for a positivistic and interpretive paradigm for research on teaching. 4. discussion about the future development of the concept of research on teaching.
