There have been several attempts by different people to define philosophy. The term constitutes two Greek words ‘Philos’ which is love and ‘Sophos’ which is wisdom. From this, it can be deduced that philosophy is the love of wisdom. Another definition of philosophy is ‘the world view.’ The main definition for a philosophy that shall be considered in this article is that which defines it as a conceptual framework that is vital in the synthesis and evaluation of the existing system of values which aid in the projection of future knowledge. This is vital for education as well as training. The three major paradigms of philosophy are reality, truth, and value. These paradigms are quite instrumental in the description of assumptions, beliefs, and perceptions. The reality, which is also referred to as ontology, entails the description of our views on the nature of reality. It helps in determining whether the mentioned reality exists objectively or subjectively and whether it exists in real life or it is an illusion or just a creation of the mind. We all have some ontological assumptions that affect our views of reality and might affect our research findings if they are not determined. Such assumptions might cause us not to question or inquire into certain phenomena. Once we realize that different views concerning what constitutes reality exist, learners have to be compelled to find out what constitutes these realities and knowledge of such realities. This then leads to truth, which is also referred to as epistemology. Truth or epistemology can be defined as a methodology used to know what constitutes reality and the limits of such knowledge. It helps in determining the basis for knowledge to be considered as real and what constitutes such reality. It entails the description of the methods used to know what exists and the criteria used for the findings to be considered as knowledge. Just like in ontology, there exists objective and subjective epistemology. A researcher’s ontological assumptions might influence the decision about the methodology to be used in that research as well as the conclusions that are made. Due to my ontological positions as a researcher, I might be biased in determining what entails reality or the knowledge of such a reality. For research finding to be considered as objective, there is a need to have the data presented in a statistical form and not the narrative form to avoid any biases. Such kind of data can be challenged if it does not meet the expected threshold for it to be considered as knowledge. This, therefore, leads us to the different research paradigms which put into consideration both the ontological and epistemological view points. There are different positions regarding what constitutes reality or knowledge and the methodology to be adopted in the search for such knowledge. In the positivist’s view point, for instance, whatever constitutes reality or the knowledge of that reality must be observable or comply with the existing universal laws or theories. This position is derived from the natural sciences which stipulate that whatever constitutes true knowledge must be objective, and it should be observable and able to be tested scientifically before it can be accepted as the knowledge. The methodology for finding such knowledge includes the use of surveys as well as experiments, and the findings have to be ascertained quantitatively. This, therefore, implies that for a
