Abstract

Sejahtera (peaceful) ulū al-albāb (people with wisdom) is the paradigm that integrates peaceful hearts and minds to attract al-falah (victory) and sustainability. This integration requires postgraduate students to integrate wahy (revelation) and ‘aql (reasoning) prior to research proposal defense. Majority of the students were prepared for quantitative research projects with dominant ‘aql (reasoning) attitude. The integration requirement has been understood by the students as customizing the quantitative research work with cosmetic of qualitative. The modification has resulted competing paradigms between positivism and constructionism. This study evaluates the presence of competing paradigms in qualitative research reports submitted by students in from 2017-2020. The study uses content analysis to evaluate the presence of competing paradigms in 66 papers. The study finds that the competing paradigms are due to the modification of quantitative research proposal into qualitative research.
