I'm glad you found it useful. You may also want to check this out - it is my preprint paper about paradigms which you can cite in your thesis. doi.org/10.26180/27013843

Hi. Yes, it is possible to combine two theories as a framework. If you are using both theories the way they are, it is still a theoretical framework. If you are taking some elements from one theory and some from another, you are creating a conceptual framework.

You're very welcome!

You’re welcome 😊

You are welcome :)

Either one would be suitable for decolonising research. The main thing would be to ensure that the theories/concepts you choose do not reinforce colonial thinking. For example, you may choose a theoretical framework that is based in a non-Western understanding of the world. Alternatively, you may choose to create a conceptual framework based on concepts from different theories to better reflect a non-colonial understanding of a concept or issue.

@@LynettePretoriusMonash thank you for replying to my comment. However, i am still a bit lost regarding the choosing of a theoretical framework.

Regarding choosing a theoretical framework, you usually do this by exploring which other theories have been used in your field as well as based on your own view of the world. I've recently written about theoretical and conceptual frameworks and how you can choose them. You can see that here: www.lynettepretorius.com/the_scholars_way_blog/theoretical-and-conceptual-frameworks-in-research/ The video's concepts talked about the second part - how you see the world (i.e. ontology, epistemology, and axiology) shapes your choice of research paradigm. You can read more about that here: www.lynettepretorius.com/the_scholars_way_blog/demystifying-research-paradigms/

@@LynettePretoriusMonash oh wonderful. Thank you so much. I'll definitely give these a read. Thank you.

You are very welcome! :)

This study used psychological capital as a theoretical framework. You can read more here: doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-1868055/v2

You are very welcome! :)

Correct - only the first word, the first word after a colon, and the names of people/places should start with a capital letter. So it is "Wellbeing in doctoral education" not "Wellbeing In Doctoral Education".

Glad it was helpful! :)

Since they serve the same purpose (to shape the vision of the study), you can't have both. Either you are using a pre-established theory, or you are developing a theory using concepts from several other theories. The only time you would have more than one framework is if you had a project with two parts that were unrelated to each other.

While they are both ontologically the same (relativism - multiple realities), they are epistemologically different. Both understand that knowledge cannot be fully known because it exists in the minds of individual people, but constructivism sees this knowledge as socially constructed while interpretivism sees the knowledge as people's individual interpretations of their lived realities. Constructivists co-construct meaning with their participants in order to enact a change in their society by better understanding the ways a particular context is shaping individuals' experiences. Interpretivists focus on letting the participants speak for themselves in order to better understand that individual person's lived reality (not to change it). Since they have different epistemologies and purposes, they cannot be used together.

@@LynettePretoriusMonash I see, thank you (:

@@LynettePretoriusMonash this one helped a lot.

Thanks for the question.

I'm glad you found it useful :D

It is not related to general knowledge. He breathes is a complete sentence because it contains both a subject and a verb (just like "He walks" or "He eats"). "He prefers" is an incomplete sentence because it lacks an object (He prefers what?). Prefers is a verb which has to be used with an object.

@@LynettePretoriusMonash It is like what information is needed to portray useful info and saying he perfers with no object isn't useful.

@@Hi-sz9yg as I said earlier, he prefers is incomplete because the word "prefers" needs to be attached to a noun (the object in the sentence). For example, the sentence would be complete if you said he prefers bread or he prefers water. You can't just say he prefers. You need to specify WHAT he prefers for the sentence to be complete.

They are different in that one is an established theory while the other one is the combination of multiple concepts into a theory for a particular study. Since they serve the same purpose though (to shape the vision of the study), you can't have both. You have to choose which one you are going to use so that you can have a clear idea of what you are looking for in your data.

Glad you found the video useful. The links provide examples of different sections from the book. They've been chosen from the book as they are shorter than a full thesis. Many universities now publish theses online, so you can see full examples there. Monash's Education Faculty theses can be found here: bridges.monash.edu/edutheses

​@@LynettePretoriusMonash thank you so much for taking the time to reply professor and seeing theses examples is helpful - so that is much appreciated also

Hi. The editors are the people who are listed on the front of the book. There should always be an editor for a book with chapters written by different people. You can see more examples here: apastyle.apa.org/style-grammar-guidelines/references/examples/edited-book-chapter-references

You are welcome. I'm glad it helped you understand the complex concepts. My other video lists the ontologies and epistemologies of common paradigms if that helps further clarify your thinking: th-cam.com/video/yMtbIEMuQ0c/w-d-xo.html
