Engagement Theory focuses on three areas: related, creative, and donate. It emphasizes teamwork, communication, and social skills. Students must define their own projects and apply ideas to specific contexts. The theory also stresses making useful contributions. Scholars use theory to formulate research questions, design studies, choose participants and settings, define their role, collect and analyze data, and interpret and apply findings. A theory provides a systematic framework to explain phenomena, identify factors, guide research, and be tested in practical application and further studies.

1. Engagement Theory
Relate Creative Donate

2. • Related: emphasizes team efforts that involve
communication, planning, management and
social skills.
• Creative: students have to define the project
and focus their efforts on application of idea
to specific context.
• Donate: stresses the value of making a useful
contribution.

3. How scholars use theory?
. Formulation of purpose and research
questions.
.choice of overall research design.
. Choice of research participants and setting.
. Definition enactment of research role.
. Choice of data collection techniques.
.development of data analysis strategies.
.presentation, interpretation and application of
finding

4. Theory.
. A theory is a generalization or series of
generalization by which we attempt to explain
some phenomena in systematic manner.
• What is the role and purpose of the theory in
research?
• Basically theory helps prove a frame work by
serving as the point of the departure for
pursuit of a research problem
• The theory identifies the crucial factors

5. • It provides a guide for systemizing and
interrelating the various factors.
• However, besides providing the systematic
view of the factors under the study, the theory
also may very well identify gaps, weak points
and inconsistencies that indicate the need for
additional research.
• also the development of the theory may light
the way for continued research on the
phenomena

6. • another function of theory is to provide one
or more generalization that can be tested and
then used in practical application and further
research.
• A theory provides a framework for conducting
and it can be used for synthesizing and
explaining.
