The elaboration of the theoretical framework as a theorizing process

Abstract

The elaboration of the theoretical framework constitutes an essential moment in the research process to which very little is devoted in a great deal of the available literature regarding the methodology for scientific research, and, as for the present case, in the educational or pedagogical research. Moreover, in practice, in research works devoted to obtaining a Master´s Degree and even in Ph.D. Thesis it can be observed insufficient theoretical foundation of the research problem and the postulates on which it is sustained. These circumstances, among others, substantiate the elaboration of the present research with the aim of providing some thesis on the theoretical framework, its contents and its space within the process of scientific research, as well as some guidelines/indications for its elaboration, in the best interest that they could be used to orient the research practice, both pre- graduated and post- graduated through the tricky ways of theorizing.
