Theoretical frameworks don't just impact design, they impact how the entire study is interpreted, contextualized, and discussed. There are lots of resources about epistemologies and ontologies, but most focus on the philosophical and historical dimensions that can quickly overwhelm students. They need something quick that helps them understand the practical connection between theory and the purpose\/nature of the study and, more importantly, decide which theory is best suited to their particular study.

What is a theoretical framework? What is a theoretical contribution? How do I choose which theory (or theories) fits my research?
