Up to now, when observed on methodological level, we know three tendencies of schools of social research, namely quantitative, qualitative and collaborative. The emergence of research schools is a consequence of differences meotodologis paradigms, perspectives and assumptions of each nature of reality and human nature itself, which is the subject and the object studied social sciences. In every field of science, it also has its own paradigm. This means that there is a fundamental point of view of the theorist related to epistemological questions, and ontologism science. If so, BKI has different paradigm, perspective, and assumptions with KPI, PMI, and MD as well as other disciplines in the science mission. Paradigm, perspectives and different assumptions of BKI will lead us to determine precisely whether to apply qualitative or quantitative research. This article was written to see how a plan of qualitative research study is applied in BKI.
