Abstract

In this article I analyze the problem of paradigmatic chaos and the role of research paradigms in qualitative research projects. I use in the title of the paper the metaphor of Godzilla (Gojira) from Japanese culture to illustrate the vastness and depth of the issues. Particular attention I dedicate to problems arising from reducing the role of research paradigms (philosophical assumptions) and manifested errors on the plan of research design and its implementation by novice researchers, undergraduate and graduate students of the disability fields and vulnerable groups noticed by qualitative methodology teacher.
