Theoretical Framework

Currently we are working on a group project in my course. It is a review and comparison of academic publications. One particular question has thrown us all for a loop – theoretical framework. I went to the colleagues and the Internet in an effort to make the topic clear. I found a great video (below) which used this great imagery.

If you start with the discipline and examine all of the current literature that will help you to define the problem you want to look at. The Theoretical Framework is how you look at the problem.

 

Additionally, I found a second video which gives even more concrete examples.
