I feel confident about the concepts. One thing from the reading that threw me was the classification of phenomenology as a theory and not a method. So, at the moment, I lack a full understanding of the idea of theory as method and/or vice versa.

The choice of theory must be clear. The list of theories helped me differentiate between theoretical and conceptual frameworks. It also cleared up the difference between theoretical and conceptual. The theoretical framework in the choice of theory provides the lens to support the thinking and analysis of your data.

You can use more one theory to build your framework but that it's difficult to effectively incorporate more than one or two.

But I'm not sure... I think that I don't think I'm confused because there are things that I feel like I just haven't learned yet. I don't feel like I haven't learned how to develop a research question and theoretical framework for a research design.

I have a greater understanding of negative impacts of research design without relevant theoretical and conceptual frames, and ways researchers can avoid them.

I knew that frameworks were constructed; not made. However, I have a greater understanding of my own agency in constructing these frames because I have been given permission to “create” the frame

It’s a thin line between theory and methods.

The theory, theoretical and conceptual frameworks, methods, and research questions should work in an interconnected way to inform and strengthen the research and its findings.

I feel more clear about theoretical versus conceptual frameworks. I am still having trouble with one of the first steps: "Consider several theories that intersect nicely with your epistemological values and broaden your way of thinking about the concepts in your study". How do I identity the available theories in the first place? I saw the list, pgs. 14-15, but those are general categories for theories. I feel like I need a list of specific theories for education, math education, and math. Do I build this list myself? How do I know that I'm not overlooking or unaware of some critical theory?]]> 2020-08-31 21:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_guyotte/xnsmlspz3mbvkrh5/wish/710198830
