Andrews International Center for Educational Research ( AICER) invites students and faculty to attend a research symposium on Tuesday October 1 at 5:30 p.m.

Title:  How to Write a Theoretical Framework

Presenter: Dr. Raymond Ostrander  (Professor of Teaching, Learning and Curriculum)

Whether you are writing a thesis, dissertation, or an article, the ability to craft a cogent and coherent theoretical framework is crucial to the process.  Dr. Ostrander will present a practical, four-step process for writing a theoretical framework. These four steps include (1) Looking at the larger theoretical base of your study topic, (2) presenting a brief historical overview of theoretical thinking related to your topic, (3) describing the current context of theoretical thinking, and (4) presenting a series of logic statements specific to your study that identify the variables your study addresses.

Face-to-face participants meet in Bell Hall 013.
