Development of a Theoretical and Conceptual Framework for a Nursing Research Study
PLO 2: Utilize scientific thinking and reasoning skills in nursing research and theory (Research Framework Development)
You will work in a group (approx of 2-3 students), prepare a research framework approximately 1500 – 2000 words.
This task aims to assess your ability to apply scientific reasoning in identifying, analyzing, and developing a suitable theoretical and conceptual framework for a nursing research topic of your choice. You are expected to demonstrate your understanding of how theory guides nursing research and supports the development of evidence-based practice.
a. Research Objectives and Variables
b. Conceptual and Operational Definitions
c. Review of Theoretical Frameworks
d. Justification of the Selected Framework
e. Conceptual Framework Development
f. Explanation of the Conceptual Framework
The group project should be submitted on 19 January 2025 before 4.00pm in the Ufuture. Marks will be deducted for every day the assignment was late.
Turnitin report should <30%. Grammarly report > 90%
