Summary

This video script explains the importance of crafting a strong theoretical framework (Landasan Teori) for research. It highlights how researchers should define key variables, identify relevant theories and concepts, and ensure that their theoretical framework evolves with the study. The script emphasizes that theories can change based on fieldwork findings and provides advice on avoiding plagiarism, such as paraphrasing and citing sources properly. The overall goal is to help researchers create a well-founded and original theoretical framework that guides their study while adhering to academic integrity.

Takeaways

• 😀 Landasan teori (theoretical framework) is a crucial part of research, helping researchers define and explain the concepts, theories, and approaches that guide their study.
• 😀 A good theoretical framework consists of a set of theories, concepts, or approaches that can help answer the research question and provide insight into the study topic.
• 😀 The theoretical framework can include not only established theories but also concepts and new approaches that may emerge during the research process.
• 😀 Start with the main concept or theory of the study and then introduce supporting theories based on findings from literature or fieldwork.
• 😀 Theoretical frameworks may evolve over time, allowing the addition of new theories based on research findings or emerging data.
• 😀 Definitions, functions, characteristics, and scope of the main variables must be clearly outlined in the theoretical framework to ensure clarity.
• 😀 Theoretical frameworks should not rely solely on one source. It is important to use multiple references to provide a well-rounded foundation for the research.
• 😀 Paraphrasing is key to avoiding plagiarism. Always rephrase information from sources, and avoid copying verbatim from any single reference.
• 😀 When writing the theoretical framework, focus first on defining the main concepts and theories, then explain their relevance to the research question.
• 😀 While the main theory (Grand Theory) in the framework should remain consistent, additional supporting theories can be added or revised based on findings during the research process.
• 😀 To avoid plagiarism, researchers should carefully check their work with plagiarism checkers and properly cite all sources used in their theoretical framework.

Q & A

What is the purpose of the theoretical framework (landasan teori) in research?

The theoretical framework serves as the foundation for the research by presenting theories, concepts, or approaches that guide the researcher in answering the research questions. It provides the basis for understanding the research topic and helps interpret the findings.

How is the term 'landasan teori' used differently in various universities?

'Landasan teori' can have different names across universities. For example, some universities refer to it as 'kerangka teori' or 'kerangka konseptual.' Despite the different terminology, the core purpose remains the same: to explain the theories or concepts that underpin the research.

What are the key components that make up a theoretical framework?

A theoretical framework can include theories, concepts, or approaches. These elements are used to support the research and help answer the research questions. The framework may contain both tested theories and emerging concepts.

Can a research theoretical framework include concepts that are not fully established as theories?

Yes, a theoretical framework can include concepts that are not fully tested or established as theories. Concepts are often broader and have not been extensively validated, while theories are more structured and widely accepted.

What is the difference between a concept and a theory in the context of the theoretical framework?

A concept is an idea or a general understanding of a topic that may not have been rigorously tested, while a theory is a well-established explanation that has been repeatedly tested and validated. In a theoretical framework, both can be used, but the key is ensuring they are relevant to the research.

What are the three main functions of the theoretical framework?

The three main functions of the theoretical framework are: (1) providing a knowledge foundation for the researcher, (2) guiding data collection by developing research questions, and (3) helping explain and interpret the research findings by linking them to established theories.

How should a researcher determine which theories to include in the theoretical framework?

A researcher should first identify the main variables from the research title and focus on the key theories or concepts that relate to those variables. Theories that directly support or explain the research question should be prioritized.

What steps should be taken when structuring the theoretical framework?

The structure should begin with the main concept or theory, followed by relevant sub-theories or concepts. Definitions, functions, and characteristics should be provided for each concept or theory included in the framework. Sources, such as books and academic articles, should be used to define and support these elements.

How can the theoretical framework change during the course of the research?

The theoretical framework can evolve as new findings emerge during field research. If a researcher encounters new insights, additional theories or concepts may be incorporated into the framework to better explain the results, especially if those findings contradict or expand upon initial expectations.

What is the best way to avoid plagiarism in writing the theoretical framework?

To avoid plagiarism, it is important to paraphrase information rather than directly copying text. Researchers should also use plagiarism checkers to ensure their work is original and not lifted from other sources. Proper citations and references should be provided for any theories or concepts used.
