Refining the Theoretical Foundation for Research
Cassandra felt a huge sense of relief as she saw all of the
elements of her theoretical foundation come together. She had
invested a lot of time and energy into understanding her
selected phenomenon and she was confident that she was on her
way to developing a strong program of research. She was happy
to set aside the work and enjoy some much-needed rest. When
she looked at the partial draft of her paper again a few days
later, she was surprised to notice a significant inconsistency in
how she defined one of the concepts. With fresh eyes, she was
able to discover something she had been overlooking for weeks!
Now, it seemed like she would need to start at the beginning
again to clarify the meaning of this concept.
Since Eduardo first began developing his theoretical foundation
for research, a small, quiet voice had been nagging for his
attention. He thought that he would understand certain aspects
of his phenomenon better by now, and it bothered him that parts
of his foundation still did not seem to work together. On the one
hand, he reassured himself that his theoretical foundation was
probably good enough for now and his confusion was due to his
inexperience with the whole research process. On the other
hand, he wondered if his doubts could mean that his theoretical
foundation was missing something critical. He wasn’t sure what
to do.
As Taylor thought more deeply about her theoretical foundation,
she wondered if she was using the right symbols to convey the
information as she intended. She had already revised her
graphic model a number of times, and she still wasn’t sure if it
made sense. Finally, she realized that she really needed others’
input, because even if it did seem logical to her, it might not be
clear to others who were less familiar with her phenomenon of
interest.
What questions or concerns have you encountered while
developing your theoretical foundation for research? What kind
of feedback would you like to receive from your colleagues as
you refine your work?
In this Discussion, you have the opportunity to share your
dilemmas and request support to help you hone your theoretical
foundation for research. In addition, you can offer ideas and
encouragement to your colleagues.
By Day 3
Post
questions and/or describe the difficulties you have encountered
while developing your theoretical foundation for research. Ask
for feedback or support from your colleagues to help you to
refine your work.

Refining the Theoretical Foundation for ResearchCassandra felt a.docx

  • 1. Refining the Theoretical Foundation for Research Cassandra felt a huge sense of relief as she saw all of the elements of her theoretical foundation come together. She had invested a lot of time and energy into understanding her selected phenomenon and she was confident that she was on her way to developing a strong program of research. She was happy to set aside the work and enjoy some much-needed rest. When she looked at the partial draft of her paper again a few days later, she was surprised to notice a significant inconsistency in how she defined one of the concepts. With fresh eyes, she was able to discover something she had been overlooking for weeks! Now, it seemed like she would need to start at the beginning again to clarify the meaning of this concept. Since Eduardo first began developing his theoretical foundation for research, a small, quiet voice had been nagging for his attention. He thought that he would understand certain aspects of his phenomenon better by now, and it bothered him that parts of his foundation still did not seem to work together. On the one hand, he reassured himself that his theoretical foundation was probably good enough for now and his confusion was due to his inexperience with the whole research process. On the other hand, he wondered if his doubts could mean that his theoretical foundation was missing something critical. He wasn’t sure what to do. As Taylor thought more deeply about her theoretical foundation, she wondered if she was using the right symbols to convey the information as she intended. She had already revised her graphic model a number of times, and she still wasn’t sure if it made sense. Finally, she realized that she really needed others’ input, because even if it did seem logical to her, it might not be clear to others who were less familiar with her phenomenon of interest.
  • 2. What questions or concerns have you encountered while developing your theoretical foundation for research? What kind of feedback would you like to receive from your colleagues as you refine your work? In this Discussion, you have the opportunity to share your dilemmas and request support to help you hone your theoretical foundation for research. In addition, you can offer ideas and encouragement to your colleagues. By Day 3 Post questions and/or describe the difficulties you have encountered while developing your theoretical foundation for research. Ask for feedback or support from your colleagues to help you to refine your work.
