thank you Nursekillam I spent more than 2 hours reading and trying to understand the difference among these terms. in less than 4 minutes i got the answer thank you again
Thanks for your videos - I've read 3 books on research methods and such for business research I'm doing and nothing came close to clarify what I needed to know than your videos! Thank you so much!
Thank you! I have been trying to understand the difference between models and theories and you made it so clear for me to understand...now I can work on my assignment with a clear head :)
Thanks for your explanation. Could you please elaborate how conceptual frameworks are different from models? I am finding this a bit confusing since neither of them are proven.
tq for this video. very clear explanation! i also just bought the ebook Research terminology simplified: Paradigms, axiology, ontology, epistemology and methodology on google playstore.. trying to print it for easier reading...
How would you define the difference between a concept, and a construct? For me, a concept is less established in the literature than a construct. To me, a construct represents a concept that has been identified through factor analysis, and can be operationalized through measurement. Is this correct? And do you know of a book that explains this? Even if not on Amazon?
I'm trying to to identify the framework of a research article as theoretical or conceptual but I'm struggling. In the beginning of the article the authors identify a model but do not explain or discuss it further (ie. "In accordance with the National HIV/AIDS Strategy, the HIV Continuum of Care Model instituted by CHS includes discharge planning services for people living with HIV/AIDS.") Would I still consider this to be a theoretical framework as a model has been identified?
It probably is but I would think if it guided the study that they would mention either the model or the components of it again (discharge planning maybe) ... It may have concepts in it that guide the study too.
Thank you for this video, it is so clear! I looked into your book, but didn't see this specific information in there. Is there a source I can cite for my research paper? I can't cite youtube. :(
+Megan MacLean I'm happy it helped. I'm debating putting another book together but for now check out the references below the video. There is a PDF of one of Creswell's books too that could help ... It's a third edition ... I'll look on my computer sometime today and add the link below the video if it isn't already there.
Oops! I didn't post references for this one... probably because it came from my understanding based on a lot of readings. The readings for the course I taught at the time are not that great but you may be able to find something to help you ...

ur videos r very useful....thank u 4 ur efforts one more little thing...i wish u but some resources and articles thats is related to the topic to broaden the knowledge thank you again..Caser saudi arabia
thank you for your video, could you please tell me what are difference between ' characteristic' and ' definition' . why it is important to bring in your writing.'
People sometime talk about these things in different ways but I try to think of it as a definition tells you what something is and a characteristic is an important part of something that may or may not be used to help define it. So if you think of a car the definition may be that it is a motorized vehicle and a characteristic may be it's colour. In this case the colour wouldn't be part of the definition but would be useful in describing the colour. Does that make sense?
@@NurseKillam in logic we define concepts by definition and by description or characteristic. so in term of your goal and founded results data and informat you ll use among these two ways to tell your meaning .. and in scientific research you ought to find deep information to convence readers in your argue. to distinguish writing variables at theoritical frame work. then youll use Procedural definition to guarantee your goals gained..
It's not the theories that are tested directly but the models.....all models must have a theoretical base.....that is if you undertaking quantitative study.
NurseKillam Your reply is much appreciated. There is another term that I normally get confused with theory/model/concept and that is a 'framework'. Can you kindly explain the difference? It all boils down to fluency in the English language but English is not my first language.
Hi thanks for the great post. I have question regarding to the example you mentioned about the different views of what defines a garage and a shed. In this example are you trying to say that your husband is the one who does the house cleaning. LOL Yes I am a trouble maker, but this time it was just a joke. best regards.
Ok, but a garage or a shed is not an event, a situation nor an experience you just defined. It is a physical place, hence a noun. And then you add it is typically abstract and complex. But is noun "garage" abstract and is it complex? Probably. Heck i'm having a hard time ms.nurse and about to give up on finishing my masters, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
I just used a garage or shed as an example because it is something most people can visualize. Sometimes concepts like pain are more easily identified than others. Please don't give up over something like this ... What do you need to know?
NurseKillam Hi. No worries, I got what you were pointing out when I watched it again. Hey thanks for being helpful. I appreciate it. Really. Five thumbs up! =)
IMO if you define a concept in another way, you are just not defining the same concept. You can only define *words* to be names for a given set of properties. this set of peroperties equals the concept you are defining. you might use the same word to talk about a different concept than somebody else though. why should we use the word concept in the way i just described? because otherwise we have no name for the thing you are defining...
You are right. That is why I have "proven" in quotations. People consider them closer to the "truth" than models. However, ongoing research is needed to explore and support them.
Nurse Killam, I am sweating this whole assignment out! I just can't get it to work. Please write me if you have the time to share some more information with me. Thank you. Sharon
