Using Contextual Constructs Model to Frame …

International Journal of Doctoral Studies Volume 7, 2012 Using Contextual Constructs Model to Frame Doctoral research methodology Shirlee-ann Knight and Donna Cross Edith Cowan University, Joondalup, WA, Australia Abstract This paper presents a novel research Model Contextual Constructs Model (CCM) and the theory that underpins it Contextual Constructs Theory (CCT). First developed as part of a complex project investigating user perceptions of information quality during Web-based information re-trieval, the CCM is not a single research method per se, but is a modelled research framework providing an over-arching perspective of scientific inquiry, by which a researcher is able to iden-tify multiple possible methods of study and analysis according to the identified research con-structs and their contexts. Central to CCM/CCT is that all research involves the fusion of two key elements: 1) context; and 2) cognitively-driven Constructs ; and that the co-dependent nature of the relationship between these two research components inform the research process and eventual outcomes.
