Well, here’s my challenge [...] By Raul Pacheco-Vega – October 1, 2018 Case Studies and Theory Development in the Social Sciences (my reading notes) Although it’s been a while since I last taught Research Methods or Research Design, I am collaborating with my department’s working group on research methods. By Raul Pacheco-Vega – September 29, 2018 Writing theoretical frameworks, analytical frameworks and conceptual frameworks Three of the most challenging concepts for me to explain are the interrelated ideas of a theoretical framework, a conceptual framework, and an analytical framework.

The elements and principles of design are the building blocks used to create a work of art. The elements of design can be thought of as the things that make up a painting, drawing, design etc. Good or bad - all paintings will contain most of if not all, the seven elements of design.

Synthesizing different bodies of work in your literature review: The conceptual synthesis Excel dump technique
Since I’m writing a series of posts on literature reviews (and undertaking a few of my own), I figured I could expand on how you can combine citation tracing, concept saturation, results’ mind-mapping with a method that Professor Elaine Campbell showcases in her excellent post “How I use Excel to manage my literature review“. I call this technique the “Conceptual Synthesis Excel dump” – I call it “dump” because I basically throw into the Excel file everything that is already in my research and conceptual/reflective memoranda. Doing the conceptual synthesis Excel dump as you do your reading allows you to create a nice map of the literature. It also helps reach conceptual saturation during the literature review. What I am showing here is my Excel dump on bottled water. Fear of the tap water.Decisions on whether to consume tap water vs. bottled water.Branding water and bottled water and the use of branding techniques in promoting bottled water.Ethical bottled water.
