Hypothesis
an educated guess or expected result from your study
A theory predicts....
...events in general terms, while a hypothesis makes a specific prediction about a specified set of circumstances.
A theory...
...has been extensively tested and is generally accepted, while a hypothesis is a speculative guess that has yet to be tested.
Paradigm
is a set of propositions that explain how the world is perceived it contains a world view a way of breaking down the complexity of the real world. Paradigms are broad theoretical formulations. They provide us a set of assumptions that help us to find out
