Qualitative Theoretical Framework Examples
Table I: Problem-Solving Protocol (the think-aloud protocol approach)
The following excerpts are got from Ornek’s study (2006). A student solves a physics problem using the think-aloud protocol. While the student is solving the problem, the goal is to have the student talk about what he is thinking. The pseudonym Clark was used.
Clark stopped talking while he was solving the problem. The researcher asked him what he was doing. After that, he started to talk again. He used the momentum principle to solve the second part of the question. And he got the correct answer. He explained step by step to make everything clear to be understood.
At this point he also used Newton’s third law as if he wanted to makes sure he was doing it right.
For the second part of the question, Clark uses the linear momentum principle.
Clark is really confused about Newton’s third law and in what situations it can be applied. He started to think he cannot apply Newton’s third law because of the different masses of cars. Then he does correct himself soon after.
In last part, Clark tried to explain Newton’s third law in his own words. Although it is not very clear, it can be understood that this explanation includes Newton’s third law.
Clark solved the problem correctly, but he was always in a dilemma. He was, therefore, exhibiting some profound conceptual difficulties with Newton’s Law because he thought he could just use Newton’s third law when the masses are equal. He has the p-prim, which states that since the truck is more massive, it requires larger force. He could not make links between the pieces pf knowledge. He cannot make certain connections correctly between the momentum principle and Newton’s third law. Finally, after a long process, he got the correct answer by struggling back and forth between Newton’s third law and the momentum principle. The idea of the momentum principle concept and Newton’s third law concept is not clear in his mind. |

Examples Of Theoretical Framework
Phenomenography | Phenomenology | ||
1. | The structure and meaning of a phenomenon as experienced can be found in pre-reflective and conceptual thought. | A division is claimed between pre-reflective experience and conceptual thought. | |
2. | The aim is to describe variation in understanding from a perspective that views ways of experiencing phenomena as closed but not finite. | 2. | The aim is to clarify experiential foundations in the form of a singular essence. |
An emphasis on collective meaning. | 3. | An emphasis on individual experience. | |
A second-order perspective in which experience remains at the descriptive level of participants’ understanding, and research is presented in a distinctive, empirical manner. | 4. | A first-order perspective. | |
Analysis leads to the identification of concept tions and outcome space. | 5. | Analysis leads to the identification of meaning units. |
