How to support Research with Theoretical and Conceptual Frameworks

Supporting Research with Theory

I was asked: “how do you support your study relationship based on a theoretical or conceptual framework?”

This video gets you to think about …
1) Is your question about a particular theory?
2) Is theory used to justify your question?
3) Is theory used to organize your findings?
4) Is your research about generating a new theory?
5) Is theory useful to explain the context or researcher stance?
6) Is a conceptual framework needed?
