Your framework is one of the most important decisions to make for your dissertation or capstone project.

Understanding and articulating what the results of your dissertation or capstone project mean for theory and practice is oftentimes a stumbling block for the doctoral candidate. And this is okay! It takes a long career in academic to grasp the implications of empirical results. Which is precisely why you need the real professors at Real Professors®. They will help you to articulate in a succinct, logical, and clear manner how your results (a) confirm and/or extend extant theory and (b) inform the everyday practice of your unit of observation, e.g., nurses, teachers, managers in companies, non-profit managers, social workers, government employees, leaders, counseling psychologists. The real professors at Real Real Professors® will Zoom mentor you through every statistic (for quantitative results) and every code, category, and theme (for qualitative results). They will even walk you step-by-step through the analysis using SPSS and NVivo (for quantitative and qualitative analyses, respectively).

Understanding and articulating what the results of your dissertation or capstone project mean for theory and practice is oftentimes a stumbling block for the doctoral candidate. Which is perfectly understandable. It takes a long career in academia to grasp the implications of empirical results. Which is precisely why you need the real professors at Real Professors®. They will be able to help you articulate - in your presentations and in your writing - how your results (a) confirm and/or extend extant theory and (b) inform the everyday practice of your unit of observation, e.g., nurses, teachers, managers in companies, non-profit managers, social workers, government employees, leaders, counseling psychologists. 

Your recommendations for future research and practice must be (a) a logical extension of the implications for theory and practice, respectively and (b) both clear and actionable. For example, if the implications of your results for theory is that you have tested and confirmed the theory for a new population and sample, then you must articulate other contexts and samples that have yet to be used for tests of your theory. Or, if your results actually extend theory by including new predictor variables, then you must recommend the appropriate research design and methods for future testing of your extended theory. And for practice, you must articulate specific steps and procedures to follow so that professionals in your field can follow them to alleviate the problem that motivated your dissertation or capstone project in the first place. That said, your recommendations must be so clear and actionable that there is no question what other researchers and practitioners in your field must do based on your results.
