Thank for sharing! I tottaly agree with you and I use to say to my students exactly what you said: "you always haver a theory, even if you don't have a theoretical framework". Thanks and have an excelent New year!!

Whenever I am wresting with any idea or confusion, I come here and you always have the answer for me. The same happening now. Thanks a lot, for explaining it the way I was seeking the answers.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

I'm so glad that it works this way!

11 minutes is golden. Love the "however" and it is a "big however"! Great work, Doc!

[@qualitativeresearcher]

it is indeed :) You're welcome !

Thank you so much for explaining this theoretical framework. It was difficult for my lecturer to explain it and break it down into a simple terms. This is so simplified. Thanks a lot Dr.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

you're welcome!

Thanks for making this video Dr Kriukow. I have learned new things. Quick question: Does it suggest that we still should have a theory to inform our philosophical assumptions (ontology, epistemology, etc.) but not necessarily a "theoretical framework" if we do inductive approach?

[@qualitativeresearcher]

I explain this in the video. You will always have some philosophical approach, which you will usually be expected to discuss, but you do not always have to impose a theoretical framework onto your data analysis

[@rbcruz6708]

Thank you for this, Doc. What about a conceptual framework for a qualitative research?

[@pamodoumboob7236]

Thank you for the wonderful explaining Dr. But isn't it possible to do a deductive analysis of a certain theory probably in a different context or case, and at the end of your analysis coming up with your own findings which can be sort of theory of its own?

[@qualitativeresearcher]

You are right, I suppose you can do that too, which would be a combination of 2 of the 5 mentioned uses of theory (theory as a framework for deductive analysis + theory from the findings)

[@pamodoumboob7236]

@@qualitativeresearcher Superb. I am currently using this method, and hopefully will come up with a theory or better still verify or disapprove a contemporary theory in a different case.

[@qualitativeresearcher]

@@pamodoumboob7236 good luck, and remember that every outcome is equally good - if your findings are the same/similar, it means that you added more evidence to the model/theory, & if your findings are different, you're generating new insights

[@Hikmatnoma]

How do you explain the difference between theoretical and conceptual framework?

[@everythingpositivepsychology]

dr. kriukow, im a novice researcher, and my research is qualitative, i already have my conceptual framework, do i have to remove my theoretical? thank you, :)

[@qualitativeresearcher]

You don't. Whether you have any of these in your study are your decision

What is the end game of this all lol
