THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Structure that guides research by relying on a formal theory. It provides a foundation for understanding the relationships between variables and concepts within a study
Use clear and simple language
Visual elements
WHAT IS A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK?
Ensure consistency
Be critical and reflective
Be flexible
Identify key concepts
Evaluate and Explain Relevant Theories
STEPS FOR BUILDING A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Show How Your Research Fits into Existing Research
Structure the Theoretical Framework
TIPS
Select relevant theories
- Use diagrams or models to visually represent the relationships between variables and concepts.
- This can help clarify your theoretical framework and make it easier to understand.
Your whole report should be written in 3rd person. Make sure the information is easy to understand.
Choose theories that are most relevant to your research problem. Explain how these theories provide a foundation for your study.
Crically evaluate the theories and concepts you include. Reflect on how they fit together and support your research.
Make sure the theoretical framework is consistent with your research design and methodology. Align your data collection and analysis methods with the TF.
Be open to revisin your theoretical framework as your research progresses. New findings may require adjustments to your framework
Determine the main concepts and variables relevant to your research. Define these concepts clearly and explain their significance.
- Review existing theories related to your research topic.
- Select the most relevant theories and explain how they relate to your study.
- Justify why these theories are appropriate for your research.
- Create a visual representation (e.g., a diagram) showing the relationships between the key concepts, theories, and variables.
- Ensure the framework logically flows and supports your research design.
- Highlight gaps in the existing literature that your research aims to fill.
- Explain how your study will contribute to the existing body of knowledge.
- Position your research within the context of these theories and previous studies.
