The role of theory in question formulation
Bound up with processes of research question at this early reconnaissance or exploration stage will be issues of theory. In the process of arriving at researchable topics, two theoretical dimensions are likely to inform the thinking and reflection that occur. The first relates to the teacher’s current knowledge and understanding of curriculum or learning theories that have been generated through research and may be current in guiding and shaping practice within the field. Examples of such ‘grand’ theories in the second language teaching field are the role of task-based activities in learner-centred instruction, the place of authentic materials in communicative language teaching, the process-writing approaches to classroom composition. A second dimension of theory is the personal assumptions, values and beliefs that the researcher may bring to the research. Davis (1995:436) puts it this way. Contrary to the often-held belief that qualitative researchers have no preconception about the area under investigation, they bring particular theoretical and experiential frames of reference to the research task. The first step in conducting a qualitative study is to determine the theories and views that are likely to affect the study.
1. Find examples of Present Perfect, Present Perfect Continuous, Past Indefinite in the text given above.
II. Find use the Grammar constructions in your own sentences.
III. Translate the following sentences into English:
Исследование генезиса любой теории неразрывно связано с выявлением в ее структуре концепции. Концепция – определенный способ понимания, интерпретации каких-либо явлений. Это – основная точка зрения. Концепция – совокупность опорных идей, которая определяет подход к проблеме.
IV. Work in pairs. Answer question /(or), ask questions about theory, for example, cell biology theory:
1. Are you working on theoretical chapter?/ or….
2. How is the theory made? What is it for? Use the words and expressions: branch, connected with the successes in the field, theory of nerve nets by J.Pitson, introduction of terms, influence, contribute to, stimulate, conception of Gnostic neurons is the basis…, knowledge, trend.
3. What are be the issues of theory?
4. What theoretical dimensions are likely to inform you at the initial stage of research?
5. How do you understand “development of scientific knowledge is a social historic process”?

He has a long standing interest in mineralized tissue regeneration, focusing on bone and dentine and the translation of the understanding of these processes to novel clinical treatments. He established the Mineralised Tissue Research Group at the School of Dentistry, Cardiff, whose current interests include osseointegration and bone regeneration, inflammatory mediated mineralized tissue destruction, development of novel organotypic models to investigate tissue injury and repair and the role of stem/progenitor cells in tissue regeneration. He has published over 35 research papers and presented at international conferences on dental research, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine, winning the Mineralised Tissue Group Research Prize of the British Society for Dental Research (BSDR) in 1998. He is currently President Elect of the Pulp Biology and Regeneration Research Group of the International Association for Dental Research and a member of the management committee of the BSDR and holds memberships of, amongst others, TERMIS.
