PUBLISHING ACADEMIC RESEARCH | Complete Your Scholarship, Thesis, or Dissertation, Maintain Your Mental Health, and Enhance Your Academic CareerUsing Theory in Academic Research | Ep. 64
Are you struggling to figure out what your theoretical framework is actually supposed to do? Are you treating theory like a requirement to check off rather than a tool that shapes how you understand your research?
Hey co-authors! Theoretical frameworks can feel like one of the most confusing parts of academic research, especially when we treat all theories as though they serve the same purpose. But theories work differently based on their assumptions and paradigms and understanding that difference can fundamentally change how you approach your literature review and your study. In this episode, you’ll learn:
How different theoretical traditions function within different kinds of research.
Why theoretical frameworks are more than labels attached to a study.
Common mistakes researchers make when selecting and applying theory.
How to choose a framework that actually fits your research question or hypothesis.
How to use theory to organize your literature review and create a coherent scholarly conversation.
Theory doesn't have to be intimidating. When you understand what your framework is doing, it can become a powerful lens for making sense of the literature, clarifying your research, and giving your project a coherent direction.
