Key Concepts

Pattern of Knowing

This concept refers to the different ways in which knowledge is acquired, understood, and interpreted within a field. It encompasses various dimensions such as empirical evidence, personal experience, ethical reasoning, and aesthetic appreciation, each of which shapes how practitioners engage with and apply knowledge in practice. The chosen pattern informs the researcher's perspective and methodology when developing a theoretical framework.

Theoretical Framework

A theoretical framework is a structured set of concepts and propositions that provides a foundation for understanding a research problem. It guides the investigation by linking relevant theories to the research question, helps interpret findings, and situates the study within the broader context of existing knowledge. This framework is central to organizing the study’s approach and ensuring coherence in the analysis.

Research Question Development

This concept involves formulating a clear, focused, and researchable question that addresses a gap or specific aspect within a field of practice. The development of a research question is influenced by the chosen pattern of knowing and theoretical perspective, ensuring that the inquiry is aligned with the overall epistemological approach and that it drives the study’s methodology and data analysis.

Distinctive Properties

Distinctive properties refer to the unique elements and characteristics of the selected pattern of knowing that differentiate it from other approaches. These properties could include its epistemological stance, methodological preferences, and the emphasis placed on aspects such as subjectivity, context, or ethical considerations. Recognizing these properties is essential for tailoring the theoretical framework to accurately reflect and leverage the strengths and nuances of the chosen pattern.
