Use the previous posts on theory and research and the video below to answer this question.
How is doing research like being a detective?
- Theory: an explanation of how something works.
- A good or well-supported theory is based on evidence.
- Research: "“Disciplined inquiry...studying something in a planned manner and reporting it so that others can replicate the process” (Frey et al.).
Also note that a researcher does research to test and build theories.
What roles do theory and evidence play in this comparison?
