摘要

在南非开放远程和电子学习(ODeL)研究中存在理论的概念混淆,其中概念与边缘、相关、相反、发明或非法的概念(如模型、方法、结构、假设、理论框架或概念框架)一起使用。因此,一些研究人员选择不应用理论,应用一个狭窄的定义,或者当理论应用不充分时,他们的论文冒着被拒绝的风险。本文旨在扩大对南非ODeL研究中概念理论的理解。特别是,本文的目的是澄清意义,减少理论的歧义,并促进在南非ODeL研究中使用这一概念的一致性。随后,本文通过全面的文献综述,并通过应用八步骤进行概念分析,形成一个概念框架。该框架由六个概念组件组成,这些概念组件与理论应用有关,以满足特定ODeL研究项目的预期结果。被认为更重要的四个组成部分包括定义属性、识别模型案例、前件、结果和经验参照物。概念框架作为一种思维工具,可以对概念理论进行综合和深入的理解,并在南非ODeL研究中加强理论的适当使用。

A concept analysis of theory in South African Open Distance and E-Learning research
ABSTRACT A conceptual confusion of theory exists in South African Open Distance and e-Learning (ODeL) research in which the concept is used with borderline, related, contrary, invented, or illegitimate concepts such as a model, approach, construct, hypothesis, theoretical framework, or conceptual framework. As a result, some researchers choose not to apply theory, apply a narrow definition, or risk their manuscripts being rejected when theory is inadequately applied. This article seeks to expand the understanding of the concept theory in South African ODeL research. In particular, the purpose of the paper is to clarify the meaning and reduce ambiguities surrounding theory, as well as promote consistency in using the concept in South African ODeL research. Subsequently, the article develops a conceptual framework through a comprehensive literature review, and through the application of the eight steps for a concept analysis. This framework consists of six conceptual components related to the application of theory in order to meet the expected outcome of a particular ODeL research project. Four of the components that are deemed more important include defining attributes, identifying model cases, antecedents, consequences and empirical referents. The conceptual framework serves as a thinking tool for an integrated and deepened understanding of the concept theory and for enhancing the appropriate use of theories in South African ODeL research.
