@@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
it's 2018, and you are still helping people. thank you.
Ive been having trouble with my dissertation and this video has truely helped me. Thank you so much!
Thank you Dr. Guy. Your videos made years back are proving of much help.
Excellent! Thank you so much for caring and for your passion. I now have renewed enthusiasm to continue with my dissertation!
Thank you, Dr. White!! Your explanation of this difficult topic is clear, succinct, and SO, SO helpful!
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.
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!
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.
Omg, Dr. Guy - thanks a million! A clear and concise understanding of a theoretical framework and how to select one!
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.
FANTASTIC video! I just discovered Dr. Guy and will be watching his other videos! WELL DONE and THANK YOU!
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 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!
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.
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!
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 👌
Professor White, you deserve a monument!!! Thank you for this fine and clear piece on this topic.
Thanks for providing me the clarity I needed.
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.
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.
Thanks doc it makes so much sense and gave me a better understanding on the research framework. Keep up the good work!!!
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.
Great and timeless. Thanks for putting this together, Dr. Guy. Quite helpful!
Thanks Dr. guy, this is beautiful work and I'll certainly make use of it for my coming dissertation!
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.
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
This is so important for my proposal writing. Thank you so much for sharing it!
I am in my third year and this is the BEST explanation of theoretical framework that I have heard! Thanks Dr. Guy
Here it is, 11/2019 and this is still relevant and helpful. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this informative video. I appreciate you taking your time to continue to help us get through this process.
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 sharing on this topic. You have given me a clear roadmap.
Thank you for your clarifying points. It's a stressful time, and you've helped!
That opens my eyes. Thanks Dr. Guy!
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.
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 :)
wow! Thank you, Dr Guy..I fully understand NOW...
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 :)
I like the way how you explained it ~ very clear and concise and just get to the point~thank you
I read the Dissertation Warrior...SOOO helpful! Videos are Exceptional too!! Thank you so much!!!
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
Super happy I found this page. Wrapping up my candidacy. The sacrifices being made along this journey have been quite difficult.😢
Once again! great content! I have been looking for a straightforward and clear content and this is it! Thank you
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!

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 :)
This video is helping me immensely especially now that I am working on my chapter on the theoretical framework.
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
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,
This video is a great help as I embark on my research this year. Thanks Doc for your help.
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.
Thanks, this is so helpful! Nobody is ever that practical but that's exactly what I need!
Dear Dr White,Thank you very much for this video from now onward I am going to follow you and watch your videos.
Dr. thanks for your simple, clear and comprehensive explanations. Hope to watch more videos from you.

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!
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.
Great video. I decided to watch all of the rest of the videos in the website you mentioned. Thanks a lot.
Thank you so much!! I'm glad that I found this!!!
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!
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.

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.

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?
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.
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!
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
Thank you Dr. Guy.
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.
Thank you so much. I feel more on track now!
Thank you. I feel I went down a rabbit hole, this video has helped me become more focussed.
