From Confusion to Clarity: Finding Your Theoretical Framework
In this episode of Dissertation Deconstructed, we tackle one of the most challenging—and essential—parts of the doctoral journey: developing your theoretical framework. Many students struggle to move from uncertainty to understanding when it comes to aligning theory with research purpose. Join Dr. Denise Nixon as she breaks down how to identify, evaluate, and select a framework that provides direction and credibility for your study. An excerpt from a previous episode featuring Dr. Azadeh Osonloo sheds light on key factors to consider when developing the theoretical framework. You’ll learn practical strategies for connecting your research questions to existing theory, avoiding common pitfalls, and articulating your framework with confidence.
This episode will help you move from confusion to clarity in building a strong theoretical foundation for your dissertation.
