Kyoto Protocol to the UNFCCC (2005) The Agreement and its Goals: The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement linked to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which aimed to mitigate anthropogenic effects of greenhouse gases on the environment by introducing a set of binding emission reduction targets for individual countries. Considering the threatening scale of the problem and the wide geographical distribution of GHG emissions, the Protocol required…
sciences. Obviously, nursing discipline also have been developed their knowledge using deductive and inductive methods for generating nursing theory to enhance the better care. Before exploring the distinction between the theory, theoretical framework, and conceptual framework, the becoming information will describe the definition of those terms as follow: Theory can be defined into broadly meaning with common features as explaining and making predictions (Imenda, 2014). For instance, Liehr &…
for a Framework Craig Pohlman introduces chapter two by emphasizing the need for educators to know their pedagogical theory and how it guides their instruction. One thing I knew prior to reading this chapter was the importance and need for a pedagogical theory to guide instruction. I believe this is an important part of our instructional practices and helps guide us as educators as we teach young minds. Additionally, Pohlman stresses the importance for psychologists to know the theoretical…
When a theoretical framework is used, it should inform the study and provide a rationale. The concepts of the theoretical framework should relate to the topic and serve as a basis for interpreting the results. If so consider a theoretical framework described or not. Publication dates are important most literature reviews include articles published within the last 3 to 5 years…
Literature Review – Theoretical Approaches The proposed research adopts translocational positionality as a theoretical framework to examine the versatility of multi-cultural individuals, especially in an ethnoculturally diverse setting, and their care seeking behaviour in the use of CAM. Translocational positionality as a theoretical concept is conceived as a “placement within a set of relations and practices that implicate identification and performativity or action” (Anthias, 2002b p.501).…
Hughes, & Morine, 2008). The SCT is composed of four methods of goal realization: self-observation, self-evaluation, self-reaction and self-efficacy (Crothers, Hughes, & Morine, 2008). These factors are constantly influencing each other and used as a framework for designing, implementing and evaluation studies and program (Crothers, Hughes, & Morine, 2008). The two studies "A Process Evaluation of a Social Cognitive Theory–Based Childhood Obesity Prevention Intervention: The Comics for Health…
determine a theoretical orientation because it assist the assessment process of individual clients, families, and treatment groups. According to Posnanski and McLennan, a theoretical orientation is defined as a “conceptual framework used by a counselor to understand client therapeutic needs” (Halbur &Halbur 3). A theoretical orientation is an essential and useful component to social workers because it arranges the overall foundation for the therapeutic process. For example, it provides the…
Occupational therapy theories, model of practice and framework form the foundation on how practitioners build and shape clinical knowledge to help their clients. The most common occupational therapy theoretical models that I use in my practice setting are biomechanical, cognitive disability, motor control model, Person-Environment-Occupation model and neurodevelopmental model. In few instances, I have used functional group model. Over the years, our profession has seen a paradigm shift from…
The researchers are trying to understand more about the daily experience of others in the hopes the research will reveal conditions, agendas and beliefs through a potentially anonymous, non-threatening forum. The theoretical framework may be to determine how Human Rights Activists influence change. The survey may be used to collect data on what variables exist in support of the researcher 's hypothesis as well as previous literature and theories. The research methodology…
Theoretical models are the building blocks for research designs. A conceptual model or framework provides a structure that guides the development of a research study and most importantly allows the researcher to link the findings of his/her study with the greater body of knowledge on the topic. By definition, a conceptual framework or model is an abstract, logical structure of meaning (Burns & Grove, 2009). If I do not have an underlying framework for a study, the results may be isolated and…
