One of the most crucial foundational steps in any research project
surrounds understanding and choosing an appropriate theory to frame
the research question. Theoretical frameworks don't just impact
design, they impact how the entire study is interpreted,
contextualized, and discussed. There are lots of resources about
epistemologies and ontologies, but most focus on the philosophical
and historical dimensions that can quickly overwhelm students. They
need something quick that helps them understand the practical
connection between theory and the purpose/nature of the study and,
more importantly, decide which theory is best suited to their
particular study. This Little Quick Fix covers questions like: What
is theory? How does theory relate to research design? What is a
theoretical framework? What is a theoretical contribution? How do I
choose which theory (or theories) fits my research? What practical
steps should I take to integrate theory into my research? Little
Quick Fix titles provide quick but authoritative answers to the
problems, hurdles, and assessment points students face in the
research course, project proposal, or design-whatever their methods
learning is. Lively, ultra-modern design; full-colour, each page a
tailored design. An hour's read. Easy to dip in and out of with
clear navigation enables the reader to find what she needs-quick.
Direct written style gets to the point with clear language. Nothing
needs to be read twice. No fluff. Learning is reinforced through a
2-minute overview summary; 3-second summaries with super-quick
Q&A DIY tasks create a work plan to accomplish a task, do a
self-check quiz, solve a problem, get students to what they need to
show their supervisor. Checkpoints in each section make sure
students are nailing it as they go and support self-directed
learning. How do I know I'm done? Each Little Quick Fix wraps up
with a final checklist that allows the reader to self-assess
they've got what they need to progress, submit, or ace the test or
task.
