@@guyewhite what is the best theory to write a theoretical framework for the research topic the relationship between educational leadership styles and teacher performance , I get confused
Ive been having trouble with my dissertation and this video has truely helped me. Thank you so much!
Thanks doc it makes so much sense and gave me a better understanding on the research framework. Keep up the good work!!!
Dr. Guy, I bought your book Dissertation Warrior and I was lead to your website. My dissertation outlook has changed and I feel well equipped now to complete this process! You are truly amazing! I love that you understand the learning methods of students and have a visual and audio component, the right combination I needed to gain the understanding to tackle this process! I appreciate it! Thank you!
Thanks for saying that, Sandra! Having the combination of audio and visual is very helpful. In the Accelerator program, we have some pretty amazing visuals to help students meet each of the dissertation stages of work. Feel free to reach out with questions any time.
it's 2018, and you are still helping people. thank you.
Thank you, Dr. Guy. This is a great start for me. I am conducting an Action Research Dissertation and I truly feel lost. I am going to watch your other videos. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for your video. I'm an International Relations PhD applicant and my research proposal has been at a standstill for over 3 months due to my difficulty to understand how to put together my proposed theoretical framework. By far one of the best videos I've watched on the subject!
I'm so glad I found this video! Thank you so much. I feel my life has some direction now. LOL! I like the term "the specific lens" through which I should look at my study, because frankly I don't know where to start, where to look and what to look for! God bless you. You're a guardian angel.
This is so important for my proposal writing. Thank you so much for sharing it!
I'm doing my research on a part-time basis and in a never-ending lockdown (Melbourne). I have been worrying about this area for best part of 18 months but now have clarity and purpose. I feel like I'm no longer grappling to find my way. Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you so much for caring and for your passion. I now have renewed enthusiasm to continue with my dissertation!
I've spent WEEKS trying to find a theoretical framework that matches my work. After watching this, I feel like the process will be a lot easier. Thank you.
Thank you Dr. Guy. Your videos made years back are proving of much help.
Omg, Dr. Guy - thanks a million! A clear and concise understanding of a theoretical framework and how to select one!
Thank you, Dr. White!! Your explanation of this difficult topic is clear, succinct, and SO, SO helpful!
Seeing your video create a miniature route out of the deep water I found myself. I wondered what I would have done with the volume of literature before me, reading without clear objectives. I felt something was missing when I read because there were no clear objectives or a guide.
This video showed that the theoretical framework is a guide that helps to conduct a sound literature review.
Thank you so much, Guy!
I felt so stuck with this and this video saved my life, you explained this so well. I feel much more confident to write my thesis now. I can't thank you enough 👌
This was great! I appreciate the tip about using your literature to find theoretical framework. In writing my lit review I totally skimmed over anything pertaining to a theoretical framework and now that you've suggested to find the theory in our literature I totally realized that the theories were there all along!! Thank you!
Once again, Dr. Guy, you have given me hope. I first found your videos when I was at the five year mark of my thesis and shortly after I bought "The Dissertation Warrior" book, which was invaluable. However, there was just too much disaster happening within my thesis (and my life - those two things may have been related!) and I withdrew from my PhD. I have had just over a year off, and have recently reopened the dissertation door - determined to finish! Your words make so much sense. Having just watched this video, I finally understand what a theoretical framework actually is - how has this taken me so long?!! Anyway, I get the feeling you will be a significant part of my efforts to finish this thing - which I aim to do by the end of this year. Thank you for providing such awesome information.
Thank you another fantastic and helpful guide- I'm about to do my Masters dissertation and was stuck on how to choose and go about identifying a TF but this has really helped me. You really are able to approach the questions from the students perspective which is amazing.
Love your passion and enthusiasm for what you are doing here. Thank you for making this available. It will definitely help me as I write my dissertation.
Best video on basics of dissertation structure that I have seen. Dr. Guy White is very well spoken, enjoyable to listen to, easy to follow and makes the whole mess make sense! I will watch ALL of your videos! Thank you!
Wow, Vivian! That's quite a statement! You made my day! Sorry it took me a few days to respond. Getting the new book out has been taking up a lot of our energy here at the office. Send me a question any time. I want to help!
Here it is, 11/2019 and this is still relevant and helpful. Thank you!
Thanks Dr. guy, this is beautiful work and I'll certainly make use of it for my coming dissertation!
Professor White, you deserve a monument!!! Thank you for this fine and clear piece on this topic.
I am in my third year and this is the BEST explanation of theoretical framework that I have heard! Thanks Dr. Guy
Thanks for providing me the clarity I needed.
Dr. thanks for your simple, clear and comprehensive explanations. Hope to watch more videos from you.
+yoga yoga I'll keep making them as long as I keep getting comments :)
Great and timeless. Thanks for putting this together, Dr. Guy. Quite helpful!
Dr Guy. Your video does what it promises at the outset. Thank you for getting me out of a a rut at a crossroads of my dissertation. Highly recommended watch for all empirical researchers.
Thanks Doc, I really appreciated your humbleness. It somehow makes it easier to receive from you. All I can say is once i was lost, but after watching your video, i am somewhat found. Many Thanks and continue to make loads more video's. You are making a difference :)
FANTASTIC video! I just discovered Dr. Guy and will be watching his other videos! WELL DONE and THANK YOU!
Dr Guy White, You are absloutley fantastic at what you do. im sure I speak for many saying how helpful this video is. Cant thank you enough.
That opens my eyes. Thanks Dr. Guy!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. I feel so overwhelmed and that I just have no idea where I'm going and what I'm doing. Thank you again. Nervous breakdown for the day averted.
Outstanding overview of Theoretical Framework. Thank you Dr. White! I look forward to viewing your other videos.
Jeffery, thanks for your kindness. You'll love my "Office Hours" episodes. Enjoy :)
I just found your videos and bought your book! I was feeling very overwhelmed and now I have some clarity for for research and writing my dissertation.
Thank you so much for this informative video. I appreciate you taking your time to continue to help us get through this process.
Thank you Dr Guy for this content, it is clear and easily understandable in a few simple steps. Your energy and passion motivates me to continue my dissertation: I take the commitement to watch one every single day. Thank you so much :)
Thanks Dr. Guy, this is the first time I have actually grasped what TF means, and I have read plenty of material on it. I intend to follow your advice and do my TF, seems easy now. Thanks
Hi Dr. Guy, The way that you have delivered this concept is remarkable and I wish I had seen it before. Beautiful family. Doing research while having small kids makes me emotionally vulnerable. But this video of yours eased the stress. Thanks a lot.
Thank you for the guidance Dr Guy. You are definitely the best mentor ever.
EVER EVER? My wife says you're giving me a big ego :) Thanks for your kind words.
Dr. White,
Your videos are phenomenal! I especially appreciate that they are concise (under 20 minutes) and you unveil topics in a sequential fashion (easy to follow). Thank you for blessing my life.
Tracey
Hi Tracey! One day I'll compress to five minutes... but that will require lots of coffee. We'll see :) Thanks for watching!
Too funny...don't do that. :)
Thanks, this is so helpful! Nobody is ever that practical but that's exactly what I need!
Doc, your 17 minutes and 51 seconds of talking is equivalent to reading a year's worth of books, and your guidance has already helped me identify my theoretical lens after viewing your video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us.
same is my case ditto situation!!! all the best to you!
Once again! great content! I have been looking for a straightforward and clear content and this is it! Thank you
Thank you for sharing on this topic. You have given me a clear roadmap.
Thank you so very much! I am looking forward to watching your other videos as well!
Thanks, Maria! Are there any other subjects that I should cover?
Super happy I found this page. Wrapping up my candidacy. The sacrifices being made along this journey have been quite difficult.😢
It is 1:39am in the Caribbean and I just found this video! Wow thank you Dr. Guy!! I am not at the dissertation stage as yet (still doing the taught courses of an Ed.D) but my assignment involves reviewing the theoretical frameworks of articles I have collected so far for my Lit. Review. You had me at 'getting ahead so I can get my life back'. I love your simple, practical, down-to-earth way of getting the information across. You are right! I WILL be coming back again and again to this video - and I would be checking out the others in the series. PLEASE continue to do what you are doing! Not only are you helping us get ahead with our academic/professional dreams but who knows, you may be indirectly saving someone's sanity, marriage or family life!
+Miguelle Christopher So happy to help Miguelle! There is a light waiting for you behind that door called "graduation."
This is a great video! I haven't studied in 10 years and this gave me a great quick refresher. You explained the concepts really well in a passionate way - a perfect combination! All the best :)
Dr. Guy,
This video was excellent. I needed a jump start to understanding and developing the Theoretical Framework. I accepted your thinking about understanding the process so that you are using your time wisely. I have wasted a lot of time, but after view your video I have what I needed to get some of my time back.
Thanks
Robert
Thank you so much Dr. Guy. This video is a real eye opener. Keep up the spirit!
Lawrence Owino Hi Lawrence. Sometimes all we have is the Spirit. Keep on fighting. Cheers.
i am writing just to tell you how thankful I am for you . You are really very good at what you are doing
Thanks, Mohammad. I have a lot of growing to do. Still, your words are very much appreciated. Thanks.
A wonderful video, you break down everything so wonderfully. I have subscribed and I will pass this on to many in my residency class. Thank you for taking the time out of your schedule and away from your loved ones to bless many.
Thanks, Heather! At what university are you? Are you fairing well in your program?
This video is helping me immensely especially now that I am working on my chapter on the theoretical framework.
Thank you for your clarifying points. It's a stressful time, and you've helped!
Dear Dr Guy, thank you so much for the analysis on how to write a literature review. I'm writing my first assignment for my Msc in Educational leadership and I find the matrix quite helpful to me. Thank you.
Biodun Badmus Hi Biodun. I live by the matrix. Keep me updated. When you cross 200 quotes, send me a message!
I read the Dissertation Warrior...SOOO helpful! Videos are Exceptional too!! Thank you so much!!!
Dr. Guy, in a nutshell, your video has saved me from a lot of stressful nights pondering over what I am doing. I am in my first year of a PhD in Education and I was feeling a bit lost. I felt that I had done a reasonably good literature review... until I saw your video. Now I have a clearer idea of what I am doing in terms of a theoretical framework. Thanks.
Stacey Xaelani Hi Stacey! What is making you feel lost? I want to help!
Hi Guy, thanks for replying! I just sometimes feel like I'm in at the deep end and don't know if I can do it. And I am only on my lit review! I don't know if my theoretical framework is.any good basically. Its a study into ability grouping and its effects on motivation and self concept for EAP university students. My theoretical framework is Dornyei and Otto 1998 process Motivation model???
Stacey Xaelani What's your one-sentence purpose statement?
Haven't really put one together but if I had to do it now, I'd say 'the purpose of this qualitative research is to examine the motivation levels and self-concept of Kurdish pre - undergraduate EAP students in homogeneous class groups in Kurdistan, North Iraq in 2016.'
Stacey Xaelani I recommend narrowing from (1) motivation level and (2) self-concept down to a single aspect of these undergraduates. For example, you could choose self-concept... and then do lots of digging in the literature to see what you really mean by self concept. Is there a specific PART of self concept about which you are interested?
Thank you for that because I have a few PhD candidates that need to see this video. I was not sure if I was explaining the concepts simplistically enough but this adds more context to the conversation
Thanks Dr. Guy for the great presentation on theoretical frameworks.
Polelo Madalane You are so welcome! Let me know if there are any questions I can answer any time!
I like the way how you explained it ~ very clear and concise and just get to the point~thank you
I'm currently writing my bachelor's thesis and this video was really helpful, thank you!
wow! Thank you, Dr Guy..I fully understand NOW...
THANK YOU!!!!!! I was going to bang my head on the desk because of how lost I felt and other videos just were not cutting it!
Dr. Guy, thank you so much for making this useful video, for it helped me understand the Theoretical Framework better, as I was having difficult time with it and was a requirement from my supervisor for my dissertation. keep up the good work.
This video is a great help as I embark on my research this year. Thanks Doc for your help.
This is a great input. I'm Prof. Jay (from Prof. Jay's Vlog) and I love research. We can also use the guidelines made by Cresswell and Cresswell on how to use a theory in a quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-methods research.
Dear Dr White,Thank you very much for this video from now onward I am going to follow you and watch your videos.
Thanks so much Dr. Guy, was stuck with how to choose a suitable theoretical framework, am sorted now, the video was simple and easy to understand.
Thank you very much, Dr Guy... I found the video very helpful. Currently, I am writing my master dissertation, I am sure, I will get back to you with many questions. I have never explored your videos before, but now I think I must watch all your videos. Once again, thanks for your amazing video.
+Hashim Noori Blessings to you and your family, Hashim. I am here to help. Send me a question anytime!
Thanks Dr Guy, it's 2020 mid-pandemic and this video is helping me write my mixed methods research protocol!
Dr. Guy, how can I thank you? Oh my Lord... I've been sooo Lost. Thank you.
Dear Dr. Guy,
I discovered you yesterday. I watched and enjoyed on youtube your (Literature review, purpose, problem and theoretical framework) videos since yesterday. I must say Thank You to you and your sweet family, particularly your wife, Great job!
Why I was attracted to your video is because I am in the final year of my PhD and I need to write my literature review. The problem started when my supervisors told me that my written literature reviews sounds like research context and I need to build my literature review through my theoretical framework. I am using "Figured world" theory of Holland et al., 1998. I am researching transitional narratives of female postgraduate Pakistani students in Manchester. Your videos are really helpful..
Thank you again,
Regards
+HaleemaSadia Mian Hi Haleema! So happy to hear that these were helpful! Please, send me a question any time!
First of all, God Bless You and Thank you. For some reason when I first clicked on the video I thought it was going to be boring as hell but then you got me with your opening monologue about taking away from life. It's like you know me better than my friends and family at this point...!!! lol lol lol lol Great informative video... Thank you!
2021 and still useful, best youtube video i've watched so far on this topic. LOVED how you explained it -- and even more how you seemed so exited to teach us. Thank you :)

This was really, really good to clarify some of the concepts that my professors can't seem to put into words. Thank you for this, from a DrPH student looking to become a "candidate".
+Epi Ren Professors are full of information! I'm full of "some" information, but FULL of strategy. Strategy is what wins.
Thank you Dr Guy..you answered all questions I had regarding the Theoretical framework. Thank you
+Mmajapi Elizabeth Choke Yay!
Very useful hints on theoretical framework! Thank you Dr. Guy.
Glad you liked the video, Samuel! So happy to hear that.
Thank you so much!! I'm glad that I found this!!!
Thank you so much. I wish I found this video last year but i'm glad I did all the same.
I like how you presented it in a very understandable manner that a novice writer like me would understand. Thank you Sir!
Great video. I decided to watch all of the rest of the videos in the website you mentioned. Thanks a lot.
Thank you Dr Guy I appreciate your video very well done, the clarity of thought and am glad that i found this video, it is helpful and now I would like to go to your other video on literature review, God bless your good work,
Thank you so much, was struggling to catch up but this video has really helped. much appreciated.
+Tommy Coombes Hi Tommy! So happy to hear this helped!
Thank you. I feel I went down a rabbit hole, this video has helped me become more focussed.
Hello Dr. White, Thank you so much for your insights and useful tips. I am in the process of doing my write up on my 'model' and the information that you shared is extremely helpful. All the best, Phuspa
Your vids are so helpful in my doing some early on organization of materials. I've just started my COMM PhD journey this past summer.
thank you for sharing, Dr.Guy
I come from a Latin American academic background and have had a lot of difficulties in adapting myself to the anglo sphere. Your video is helping me to find where the hell am I at this moment of my research...Thanks man
***** Hi Alfredo! Thank you so much for your comment! I'm quite intrigued by your comment about the anglo sphere vs. the Latin American academic background. What are some of the differences? SO CURIOUS! Please tell me! :)
Thanks Doc. This is a very hand lecture/chat. I'm sure my supervisors have said similar things, and this vid (which I have stopped and taken notes) is very valuable. Cheers!
Awesome instructions. Working on a MA but asked to choose a TF. Had no idea where to start so I began researching. This led me to you. Thanks, you da man...
Community Chaplaincy Outreach, Inc. Thanks! I've never been "da man" before. I'm going to add that to my biz card. :) This is definitely applicable to one's thesis.
Thank you Dr. Guy.
Thank you Dr. Guy! This is very helpful.
Dr Guy, you have opened my eyes when I needed clarity on this topic
+clement stall Hi Clement! So happy to hear that this helped!
Thank you Dr. Guy. My Supervisor talks to me on TFW as if I know what it is and how to write it. So your clip has helped me tremendously. I saw you mentioned that it is in articles. I am to write those too so any guidance is welcome. Thanks again.
Dr. Guy, I have been binge watching your dissertation videos all morning. I am stuck on my theoretical framework for a month. My chair just kept telling me the format she wanted me to write the framework in, but not how to select an appropriate framework. Thank you for your guidance, now I don't have to admit that I had no idea as to where to begin.
Did this video help you select one? Basically, find lots of dissertations similar to yours. See what frameworks they used!
Unfortunately, I'm having trouble deciding whether I should focus on theories of English language acquisition, or teacher expectations, since my study is to be about regular education teacher's expectations for their ELL students. Since I'm working towards a PhD, I'm expected to contribute to theory. I will follow your advice and find more recent dissertations.
Your video is of great help to me. Got so much clarity on how to choose a theoretical framework and the purpose it serves in our research work. Respect from Kolkata, India.
Dr Guy, thank you for this simplified explanation. I am actually reading few theories in psychology and trying to find how it can be used in context of marketing. Tjhis video will help me in this process.
Thanks so much for the kind words! Tell me more about this study. It sounds interesting! You are talking about the psychology of marketing?
