Blueprint for Success: The Vital Role of the Theoretical Framework in Dissertation Research
In this episode, we dive into a common challenge faced by doctoral learners: understanding and developing a theoretical framework. Special guest Dr. Azadeh Osanloo discusses the importance yet common misunderstanding of the theoretical framework in research. She shares her perspective on why she felt compelled to co-author the article to aid students and professors alike. She explains that the theoretical framework is essential as it serves as the blueprint for the entire dissertation, guiding the research philosophically, epistemologically, methodologically, and analytically. Osanloo further elaborates on how students can discover and utilize theoretical frameworks to support and structure their research effectively.
