Chapter 4: Development of the theoretical perspective

1. It is a process and a product

   • can be linked with
     • our problem statement, and a product
   • It is part of a larger product
     • the investigation report
   • involves exposing and analyzing theories
     • the conceptualizations
     • previous investigations
     • the background in general

2. Development functions from the theoretical perspective

   • Prevent mistakes
   • Get the study done
   • Expand the horizon of the study
   • Document the need to conduct the study
   • Establishment of hypotheses or statements
   • Inspire new lines and areas of research
   • Framework for interpreting the results of the study

3. Stages in the development of the theoretical perspective

   • The analytical review of the corresponding literature.
   • The construction of the theoretical framework, which may imply the adoption of a theory.

4. The method we can follow to organize and build the theoretical framework.

   • A preliminary step consists of
     • sort the information collected
       • according to one or more criteria
         • whether they are logical and appropriate to the research topic.

5. Write the theoretical framework

   • Build the theoretical framework
     • involves writing your content
       • spinning paragraphs and appropriately citing references
