Your thesis always requires a theoretical foundation that contextualizes the research or development task. You need to construct this theoretical framework based on previously published knowledge, such as relevant literature, research articles, or reliable internet sources. You can also use expert interviews, lecture materials, or previous theses and dissertations as part of your theoretical framework.
When writing the theoretical framework, it should be reflective and connected to practical application. The text should include your own reflections, so you need to write the information you have read in your own words and provide in-text citations to indicate when the text is based on sources and when it is your own writing. Plagiarism is strictly prohibited. Include in the theoretical framework only the necessary information that you will need for the practical part. Do not present conclusions at this stage.
If your thesis is based on surveys, interviews, or measurements, provide a justified explanation for:
• Emphasize replicability and transparency in methodology description.
• Report results clearly, matching the research questions.
• Do not interpret results in the results section. Use tables and figures to support but not replace text.
• For quantitative studies, use established reporting styles. For qualitative studies, report via themes/categories.
• Functional theses often include outputs (e.g., guide, podcast) that must be described in the report.
