Critiquing The Theoretical Framework


  1. Is the theoretical framework clearly identified?
  2. Is the theoretical framework consistent with what is being studied?
  3. Are the concepts clearly and operationally defined? Do they reflect the area of investigation?
  4. Was sufficient literature reviewed to support the proposed relationships?
  5. Is the theoretical basis for hypothesis formulation clearly articulated? Is it logical?
  6. Are the relationships among propositions clearly defined?
  7. If the theory is borrowed from a discipline other than nursing, are the data related specifically to nursing?
  8. Does the instrument used to measure the variables, consistent with the theoretical framework?
  9. Are the study findings related to the theoretical rationale?
