This document provides information from a workshop on paradigms. It defines a paradigm as a set of assumptions, concepts, values, and practices that constitutes a way of viewing reality for a community. It also defines a paradigm as a collection of beliefs shared by scientists. The document asks questions about how paradigms are formed and when a paradigm shift occurs. It instructs students to watch two videos, one on paradigm shifts and another on the story "Memoria del Fuego," and then answer questions about the paradigms in the story and what caused a shift between the initial and second paradigms.
