Looking from a Theoretical Lens Perspective In a qualitative study, a framework is essential to help the researcher anchor or focus while moving forward with the research. One such framework is the conceptual framework. The role of a conceptual framework in qualitative research is to establish why the study is relevant and how the research design accurately answers the research questions (Laureate, 2016). For example, it helps map out what is required in the study, such as data collection tools to be used based on previous knowledge and the observations made. In this regard, the conceptual framework helps define the purpose, goals, and intended audiences of the study (Ravitch & Carl, 2016). The other role of a conceptual framework is to situate the research within multiple contexts. For example, it helps the researcher define the background of the research in a way that provides new inquiry to the field (Ravitch & Carl, 2016, p. 37). In this regard, a conceptual framework helps the researcher determine how to frame or define the context of the study to add new knowledge to…

The theory holds that the learners gain more reasonably from lectures as well as text reading. In any learning, ergonomics information is regarded as the input that the learner’s mind process, store, and output (Schunck, 2012).

It allows students to relate the obtained information to the already knowledge they have in their memory. In this case, the learning entails experiences restructuring through new insights exposure. In little kids, the cognitive theory focuses on sensory memory development, which is linked to various senses, which include vision as well as hearing. Neural memory development allows…

Discussion 1 Replies: Honor Killing Scott Maciel Indeed, honor killing cannot be termed as a domestic form of violence. Honor killing is performed as a punishment for wrongdoing against the values and norms of the community. It is a murder that is conducted based on cultural beliefs. In most cities where this form of punishment is common, women are the principal victims. Females are killed on the claim that they have brought shame to the community. It is sporadic to find men being murdered in case they cause dishonor to their family. The society takes honor killing as a family affair that should be treated privately. While it is though a gender-neutral punishment, unlike women, men are allowed to express themselves before community leaders and can escape death through compensations, the social evil is thus female-targeted. It should be discouraged as no one has the right to take the life of another person. Human rights agencies should unite to fight and eradicate these types of cultures in society. Neither man of women has the right to take away life. Ryan…
