THEORY?

To find a woman you need Time and Money

Therefore:Woman =TimexMoney

Time is Money so:

Time=Money

Therefore:

Woman =MoneyxMoney2

THEORY?

Money is the root of all problems

Money=Problem

Therefore:

Woman =(Problem)2

Woman = Problem

THEORY

"A theory is a set of interrelatedprinciples and definitions that present

a systematic view of phenomena byspecifying relationships amongvariables with the purpose ofexplaining natural phenomena.

Kerlinger 1986

THEORY

Theories are constructed in order to

explain, predict and masterphenomena (e.g. relationships, events,or the behavior.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Theoretical : relating to or havingthe characteristics of theory.

Framework : skeletal or structural

frame

9


10/27


The theoretical framework of the study is a structure

that can hold or support a theory of a research work. It

presents the theory which explains why the problem

under study exists.

Thus, the theoretical framework is but a

theory that serves as a basis forconducting research.

10


11/27


It helps the researcher see clearly the

variables of the study;

It can provide with a general framework

for data analysis;

It is essential in preparing a research

proposal using descriptive and

experimental methods.11

GUIDELINESIN MAKINGTHE

THEORETICAL

FRAMEWORK


13/27

GUIDELINES

The theoretical framework is not a stand-alonecopy and paste operation where you Google thetheory and you copy and paste.

A theory is selected on the basis of how best itcan explain the relationships among the variables.

13


14/27

GUIDELINES

In the course of your review, select one ormore theories and/or empirical information

that tend to best describe and explain, relate toand/or support your research problem andobjectives

14


15/27

GUIDELINES

Take note of the following:

Name of the theory if none use theauthors name

Background/expertise of the author Bibliographic reference

Factors/concepts discussed,definitions and their relationship toone another

15


16/27

GUIDELINES

Discuss how these selectedtheories influence or affect your

thesis

End your presentation with theauthors diagram or visual

illustrationof the theory

HOW SHOULD THE THEORETICALFRAMEWORK FORMULATED?

1. Specifies the theory used as basis for the study

2. Mentions the proponents of the theory

3. Cites the main points emphasized in the theory4. Supports his exposition of the theory by ideas from

other experts;

5. Illustrates his theoretical framework by means of a

diagram; and,

6. Reiterates his theoretical proposition in the study.

AMORYS GAME OBJECT MODEL

(GOM)

GOM describes a relationship betweenthe pedagogical dimensions of learning

and game elements and is looselybased on the Object OrientedProgramming System paradigm.

TECHNOLOGY ACCEPTANCE MODEL

The model states that adoption of informationtechnology is dependent on the perceived ease ofuse and the perceived usefulness of the technology

by the user. TAM suggests that information system usage isdetermined by behavioral intention, which isviewed as being jointly determined by the user'sattitude toward using the system and the perceivedusefulness of the system (Davis et al., 1989).
