RES 861 Grand Canyon Week 3 Discussion 1

In the GCU
library, locate four empirical studies you have not used before on a topic you
are interested in researching (Use the Empirical Research Checklist to
determine if a study is empirical). List the theoretical foundation and
Permalink for each study, and add the studies to your RefWorks list. Then
determine a theoretical foundation for a study that you might like to research
for your dissertation. Why did you select this foundation? Finally, comment on
other learners’ theoretical foundations and if/how they can be improved.

What is a
theoretical foundation of a research study? Researchers often say that
determining the theoretical foundation is the most difficult part of a research
study. Do you agree or disagree with that? Why? What theory or model do you
intend to use as the foundation for your research study? Why should the theory
or model be used for your intended study?
