Öffnet für mich nach der ersten Lektüre einen ganz neuen Zugang zur Verbindung von Theorie und Design Praxis. Man kann sich von hierher einen Rahmen für eine "Content strategy for degrowth" als eine nicht anthropozentrische Designpraxis vorstellen. Sehr viele Verweise.

Checklist: Theoretical Framework
Use this checklist with your theoretical framework.
-
Concepts often have multiple definitions, so the theoretical framework involves clearly defining what you mean by each term
It's to know exactly what we mean using a specific concept.
-
In your thesis or dissertation, the theoretical framework is where you define, discuss and evaluate theories relevant to your research problem.
It's a place for definitions, right?

Conceptualization is the process of specifying observations and measurements that give concepts definite meaning for the purposes of a research study.
What is conceptualization? The way to give meaning to a concept for the ressearch.
-
Concepts are constructs; they represent the agreed-on meanings we assign to terms
Concepts represent agreements
-
Concepts are mental irnages we use as sumrnary devices for bringing together observations and experiences that seem to have something in corn-mon. We use terms or labels to reference these concepts
What is a concept? Mental images.

Conceptualization, Operationalization, and Measurement

It is generally agreed that literature surveys and descriptive compilations do not meet the contribution-to-knowledge re-quirement for the dissertation
What is not accepted.
-
Positivist versus postpositivist.
My research is postpositivist
-
Experimental versus descriptive.
My research is going to be descriptive.
-
Quantitative versus qualitative.
My research is qualitative.
-
NEW OR IMPROVED ANALYSIS Analysis may be based on existing evidence or include new data.
Maybe my research leads in this way, but I think is more the previous one.
-
The evidence may be collected by an experiment, simulation, observations, questionnaire, interviews, or measurements.
Maybe my research goes in this way: new or improved evidence.
-
The additive contribution of a dissertation may arise from 1. new or improved evidence; 2. new or improved methodology; 3. new or improved analysis; 4. new or improved concepts or theories.
Four kind of contributions
-
The dissertation should be based on a significant question, problem, or hypothesis.
The power of a good question. That's why we need to learn how and what to ask.
-
Different approaches to testing of important results. If a researcher has reported interesting results with one research technique and a given research population, a doctoral student may consider replicating the experiment, altering either the research technique or the research population.
Open science and reproductible science is key here.
-
Writers of disserta-tions commonly describe further research that needs to be done.
Work on the results of others.
-
If there is likely to be a continuing interest, either academically or otherwise on the topic, then a student can continué to maintin scholarly capability in the área and continué to be a significant authority on the subject.
This is like Bret Victor's Inventing on principle and the question is: what is your principle?
-
A research project will typicaliy have more than one potential outcome. For example, a research experiment may fail to dis-prove the nuil hypothesis, it may disprove it, or it may be incon-clusive.
A database of unsuccessful cases is a good thing to have too.
-
The exploratory investigation, definition of problem, and writing normally take about half of the total time.
I can use this to measure my time.
-
If no theory base can be identified, the topic should be rejected
Theory is mandatory
-
Observations lead to theory to classify, explain, and predict the observations.
Sounds like grounded theory, or at least the prediction is something very useful.
-
Research needed and interesting
Why my research is needed and interesting?
-
In reading dissertations, the student should begin to formúlate a general understanding of the structure and scope of a disserta-tion, and the meaning of contribution to knowledge as applied to doctoral dissertations.
Structure and scope.

. To summarize: Your aim is to explain 1. what you are writing about —I am working on the topic of... 2. what you don't know about it—because / want tofind out... 3. why you want your reader to know and care about it—m order to help my reader understand better...
Short and sweet.
-
add a second indirect question that explains why you asked your first question.
Here is the so what? in the sentence you are building.
-
When you add that because I want tofind out how/why/whether clause, you state why you are pursuing your topic: to answer a question important to you.
Back to the beginning: a question important to you.
-
because I want to find out who/what/when/where/whether/ why/how .
This is the flavour: the indirect question.
-
start by naming your project:
Put a name to that baby.
-
SO WHAT?
Miles Davis was right.
-
If you are an experienced researcher, look for questions that other researchers ask but don't answer.
Remember: the idea is to make it interesting. It can lead you where nobody else knows.
-
How does your topic fit into the context of a larger structure or function as part of a larger system?
Structure and composition.
-
Ask about the History of Your Topic
History of the topic
-
So the best way to begin working on your focused topic is not to find all the information you can on it, but to formúlate questions that direct you to just that information you need to answer them
What is my question to find information?
-
If a writer asks no specific question worth asking, he can offer no specific answer worth supporting.
The power of the questions.
-
Caution: Don't narrow your topic so much that you can't find information on it
Where to stop while you are narrowing.
-
We narrowed those topics by adding words and phrases, but of a special kind: conflict, description, contribution, and developing. Those nouns are derived from verbs expressing actions or relation-ships: to conflict, to describe, to contribute, and to develop. Lacking such "action" words, your topic is a .static thing.
Be careful: you need words that describes actions.
-
A topic is probably too broad if you can state it in four or five words
How to narrow a topic.
-
Few experi-enced researchers trust Wikipedia, so under no circumstances cite it as a source of evidence (unless your topic is Wikipedia itself).
Lucky me! I can cite Wikipedia.
-
Google your topic,
Or use DuckDuckGo if you care about your privacy.
-
Once you have a list of topics, choose the one or two that inter-est you most and explore their research potential. Do this:
Choose one or two topics.
-
Start by listing as many interests as you can that you'd like to explore.
Make a list
-
But also ask yourself: What interests me about this tapie? What would interest others?
I should answer this questions.
-
Some questions raise problems; others do not.
Question and problems are not the same.
-
But other questions may intrigue only the researcher:
Write an interesting question is key.
-
A subject is a broad área of knowledge (e.g., climate change), while a topic is a specific interest within that área (e.g., the effect of climate change on migratory birds).
The hierarchy is:
- Subject
- Topic
- Subject
-
As you begin a research project, you will want to distinguish a topic from a sub-ject.
There is a difference between topic and subject.

Research Design
Research design is all about telling others what the researchers actually did to answer the RQ(s) they proposed earlier.
It has to be explicit (and detailed enough), so others could replicate this research (i.e., do the same things/ follow the same procedure).
***Do you think this research design section is explicit enough? Would you be able to replicate their research if you wanted?
Please identify the control and treatment group (with the independent variable) in this research, and describe it briefly why you think so. ***

Thinking in Multimedia: Research-Based Tips on Designing and Using Interactive Multimedia Curricula.
This article examines various methods of delivery: multimedia integration, possibly including audio, video, slides, and animation. The recommendation is to carefully consider which online delivery mode matches with the learner, and to be cognizant that not everyone learns in the same manner. Certain topics may be best presented in live videos and not in power-point slides show as meaning may be lost or not delivered correctly. It’s important to follow-up with immediate assessment and feedback to continue to develop effective training.

Research debt is the accumulation of missing interpretive labor. It’s extremely natural for young ideas to go through a stage of debt, like early prototypes in engineering. The problem is that we often stop at that point. Young ideas aren’t ending points for us to put in a paper and abandon. When we let things stop there the debt piles up. It becomes harder to understand and build on each other’s work and the field fragments.

In a 1992 paper in Organizational Science titled “The Duality of Technology: Rethinking the Concept of Technology in Organizations,” Wanda Orlikowski applied the structuration theory of sociologist Anthony Giddens to technology use and reached a similar conclusion. Giddens argued that human agency is constrained by the structures around us—technology and sociocultural conventions—and that we in turn shape those structures. Software, malleable and capable of representing rules, is especially conducive to such analysis.
Love this paper!!!
