Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

2.3.4 Main Takeaways on Theoretical Modelling and Conceptual Frameworks

Course subject(s) Module 2. Phases & Methods of Scientific Research

  • Differentiate between theories, the framework for your research, and models as in human-computer interaction.
  • Specify what variables are involved in your research and whether they are independent or dependent. Also, specify how you want to measure them or how you want to vary them.
  • Use conceptual models in teams of researchers to specify common ground and to bind interdisciplinary understanding. In order to communicate your conceptual model, it is essential to understand the variables and terminology
