Here are some questions that you may want to think about as you write up your drafts of your theoretical framework:
1. How do the different theories (groups of theories) deal with context and which approach to context do I find more compelling and well supported/argued?
2. How do the different theories (groups of theories) describe learning and knowing? How do they describe it and/or measure it?
3. What implications for teaching do the different theories claim? Which do you feel best represents an approach to teaching you support?
4. What are areas that you feel you don’t understand well or feel has not been dealt with well by any of the authors you have read? What questions remain for you? Are there places where you expected authors to address something and the glossed over it or avoided it entirely?
Overall, remember that you are writing a description of your understanding of teaching and learning using the readings from the class as theoretical support for your point of view. There is not a correct answer to this, and you may have a hybrid view on these things drawing on multiple theories.
