“…In research, frameworks help investigators generalize the various aspects of an observed phenomenon by simply describing it and identifying its limits. Frameworks are defined as a structure that can hold or support a theory of a research study [ 1 ]. As researchers, when we validate and challenge theoretical assumptions, it advances new knowledge by simplifying concepts and variables in accordance with the presented definitions.…”

“…As researchers, when we validate and challenge theoretical assumptions, it advances new knowledge by simplifying concepts and variables in accordance with the presented definitions. A common analogy used to define a framework is providing a blueprint to a builder so that they can construct a home [ 1 ]. For researchers, the blueprint provides the parameters for constructing their research.…”

In research, the adoption of a framework is essential. It enables researchers to operate with specified parameters and provides structure and assistance with research projects, programs, and technologies. The incorporation of a framework also facilitates the organizing and planning of our research efforts with respect to the breadth and depth of what we want to discover. Frameworks are equally important in research focused on simulation-based education. Simulation-based education is a form of experiential learning that provides participants with the opportunity to acquire or improve real-world-like knowledge and skills in a simulated environment. The Medical Research Council framework, historically developed to guide clinical research, has been proposed as a framework to guide simulation research as well. However, because simulation-based education is positioned at the intersection of clinical and educational sciences, certain questions cannot be addressed using a clinical research framework. Thus, in this paper, we introduce an alternative framework, derived from educational sciences, to be considered and possibly adapted into simulation research. The design-based research (DBR) framework consists of four stages centered on design, testing, evaluation, and reflection. This editorial asserts that the DBR is an excellent framework for projects and programs of research in simulation.

“…Once the theory or theoretical model that guides the study is mentioned, we suggest including the description of the variables related to the study and those corresponding to the possible dimensions included in the theoretical and conceptual structure of the research. The objective of a robust presentation of the conceptual framework is to categorize and describe concepts relevant to the study and map the relationships between them (HEALE; NOBLE, 2019;IMENDA, 2014).…”

“…The development of a theoretical framework is often the result of the researcher's ontological (nature of being) and epistemological (knowledge theory) perspectives (HEALE;NOBLE, 2019). Under-reporting and lack of explanation of theories or theoretical models in epidemiological studies can limit the understanding and critical assessment of readers regarding both the theoretical model used as well as the broader study.…”

Introduction: The theory is considered essential to research, however, its value is often underestimated in development and/or reporting in epidemiological studies. Objective: To present a document for the elaboration and explanation of an instrument for theoretical reporting in epidemiological studies. Methods: A theoretical model was developed, based on the theory of Meaningful Learning and literature review, to list dimensions and variables related to the quality of theoretical reporting. The review was carried out between July 2018 and August 2019, in the databases: Medline, SciELO, LILACS, SCOPUS and Web of Science. There were no restrictions related to the period of publications. The languages used were: Portuguese, English and Spanish. Results: A checklist of 15 points was developed, related to the title (1), abstract (1), introduction (4), methods (4), results (2), discussion (2) and conclusion (1) of the articles; and presents a column for marking the information requested in the article for each point. Explanations about each point of the instrument are presented, including examples, references to studies and justifications. Conclusion: This document provides guidance for improving theoretical reporting in epidemiological research and facilitates theoretical evaluation and interpretation of studies by reviewers, editors and readers.
