The informants include six lecturers who taught Qualitative Research Methodology at six Programs of Studies at an educational college, called "STKIP PGRI Sumatera Barat", twelve lecturers who supervised theses with qualitative approach, and one of their supervised students. Sampling technique is purposive. The type of data is descriptive taken through interview and they were categorized based on each concept and discussed with the theories of Sociology. Findings show that the concepts "Stimulating", "Patient", "Loving", "Unforgettable", and "Sympathetic" are coherent with social exchange theory, "Appropriateness-based", "Revising", "Illustrating", and "Goal oriented" are coherent with action theory, and "Handled with consensus" and "Negotiating" are coherent with communicative action theories. Thus, the model combines three paradigms (Durhkemian, Maxian, and Weberian, with eleven concepts).
