[juancarlosrosales]

im here because my groupmates are not helping me

[sazurishin]

Thank goodness this exists. My chapter 1 deadline is at 3/30/2023 and that's tomorrow. speedrunning the whole theoretical framework at midnight.... wish me luck

Hi just wanted to personally thank Scribbr for helping me with my Senior Seminar course. Thanks Alot

[aprilmaeligalig]

The explanation is clear but lacking more examples to emphasize its point. Overall, the presentation is logical and is right, and I find it helpful, particularly this rushing time.

[FrinkyDinky]

Thanks for putting these up. I'm going straight from Ba to PhD and a delayed start due to pandemic has made it difficult to keep my mind fresh for when I begin in January. Having access to quickly accessable and digestable resources like this helps reintroduce concepts that I may have become dull on during downtime.

You are so positive, inspiring Jessica. Thank you. Your vids are giving me inspiration to finish my MBA thesis

[jazzyjheemmotol]

I really got stuck in the theoretical framework part in our research 😅. This video helped a lot. Thanks💕

[aethanburtakloy]

This really help me a lot because it gives me an idea about the theories that I need to include in our research paper.

[gloryleentan]

Im here because I have no idea of what theoretical framework is and that's what my group mates trusted me in😭

[russelquibete]

This is a big help, it's 3:34 in here in the philippines and this paper is due on 1 pm. Thank for teaching us methods that can be used in our papers, you are a life saver THANK YOUU!!! ♥️

[femiegregorio]

Now I know how to start making my theoretical framework! Very detailed and easy to follow steps, great video! I'm motivated now that I have a grasp of the concept behind it. Thank you!

[prof.jaysvlogs]

This is a great input. I'm Prof. Jay (from Prof. Jay's Vlog) and I love research. We can also use the guidelines made by Cresswell and Cresswell on how to use a theory in a quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research.

Now we have ideas for a Theoretical Framework, and incredibly, it is helpful.

[Denoppus]

Heres my notes:

Step 1: I dentify key concepts
Problem Statement - Research Question

Step 2: Evaluate and explain relevant theories
(aim to; compare and critically evaluate the approaches that different authors have proposed)
(combine theory to make unique framework)

Step: 3 Show your research fit in
Aim to do following; 1 or More
• Test whether a theory holds in a specific context
• Use theory as a basis for interpreting your results
• Critique or challenge a theory
• Combine different theories in a new or unique way

Important: create a clear and logical structure

*if stock try to draw in your research
• Research question 1
• Key concept 1
• Research question 2

Love those videos! really need it for all my assignments! Feel like a lot of professors like to make simple things complicated, then that makes them looks smarter and makes students more confused! lol! Thank you!

[Leeleethomas]

This was better than the articles I read and discussions with the professor and classmates!! Thank you!

[bluinspirations]

OMG...This was so clearly stated! I was beating myself up thinking that maybe I had missed some important reading about how to present this concept in my study .

[chubiusman]

short but very cincise. The best research video site I have ver come across. Well done Scribbr
