The Research Process: Theory 

Choosing a theoretical framework is not a specific step in the research process discussed above, but one must understand that theory guides the entire research process. As part of the literature review, the reader should review the theoretical framework that was used in other research studies and identify how the tenets of the theory aligned with the study that was conducted.

In the final activity, you will be presenting a plan for an evidence-based research project. The final activity information is only a plan for research.  You will not be implementing or evaluating any part of your plan.  In the first activity, you identified and defined a problem at your organization or in your practice. You also conducted a literature review. 

The next steps in the design of your research plan is to choose an evidence-based change in practice or intervention to address the identified problem, write a research question, write a hypothesis, and choose a theory that can be used to guide your project. In this activity you are asked to discuss the evidence-based change in practice or intervention you plan to use to address the identified problem, write your planned project’s research question, write your planned project’s hypothesis, and discuss and choose a theory that may be used to guide your project.

When choosing the theory that will guide a project remember the tenets of the theory must align with the planned evidence-based change in practice or intervention. The evidence-based change or intervention is used as a solution to address the problem that has been identified. For this activity you will discuss at least two potential theories, the tenets of each theory, the alignment of the theory with the evidence-based change or intervention, and the rationale for choosing the one theory you will use to guide your project plan.

You may choose a nursing, leadership, informatics, or educational theorist, remember chose the theory whose tenets align best with the project’s planned evidence-based change in practice or intervention.
