1. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND CENDZ FLORES

2. Develop a well-structured theoretical background section for a qualitative research paper Explain the role and importance of the theoretical background in qualitative research 1. 2. 3. Identify the components of a theoretical framework, including theories, a review of related literature, and related studies BY THE END OF THE LESSON, STUDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO: OBJECTIVES

3. LET'S GET STARTED! INTRODUCTION TO THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

4. Theoretical background is an essential component of research that sets the foundation for the study by providing a clear and logical explanation of the existing theories and knowledge in the field. The theoretical background or framework serves as a roadmap for developing the arguments that the researcher will use in their work. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND

5. PURPOSE THE THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK EXPLAINS THE EXISTING THEORIES THAT SUPPORT THE RESEARCH AND HOW THEY ARE RELEVANT TO THE RESEARCH QUESTIONS. BY USING A THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK, THE RESEARCHER CAN SHOW THAT THE RESEARCH IS BUILDING UPON EXISTING KNOWLEDGE AND CONTRIBUTING TO THE FIELD.

7. The term theory is often used in scientific research to refer to a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that is based on empirical evidence and has been repeatedly tested and confirmed through experimentation and observation. H E O R Y T

8. Theories provide a framework for understanding how and why a phenomenon occurs, and allow researchers to identify the underlying relationships between variables. THEORIES

9. ROLE OF THEORIES -Provide a guide or framework for the study. Theoretical frameworks can serve as a roadmap for qualitative research, helping researchers to structure their approach and identify key concepts and relationships between them

11. "Lived Experiences of Students in the Delivery of Student Support Services" This study is anchored on the Expectancy Theory , which is a psychological theory of motivation that suggests that people make decisions based on their belief that a particular level of effort will lead to a specific level of performance and that this performance will result in particular outcomes. The theory was first introduced by Victor Vroom in 1964 and has since become one of the most widely studied and applied theories of motivation in organizational behavior and human resource management. The theory consists of three key components: expectancy, instrumentality, and valence. Expectancy refers to an individual's belief that a certain level of effort will result in a certain level of performance. Instrumentality refers to an individual's belief that a particular level of performance will lead to specific outcomes. Valence refers to the value individual places on the outcomes that will result from their performance.

12. Give the Relevance of the Theory to the Study Moreover, the expectancy theory is an effective method for analyzing and enhancing students' desire to use support services. Applying this theory to student support services can help universities and colleges better understand the factors that influence students' decisions to use these resources and create programs that effectively encourage students to do so.

13. Sub-Theory An additional theory employed in this study is the Equity Theory which is a social exchange theory that explains how individuals in an organization perceive the fairness of their relationships with others. It was first introduced by John Stacy Adams in 1965 and has since become an important framework for understanding organizational behavior. The theory suggests that individuals make comparisons between the outcomes they receive for their 10 inputs and the outcomes received by others, and adjust their behavior in response to perceived inequities. According to equity theory, individuals in an organization have an internal sense of justice and fairness, and they strive to achieve a balance between the inputs they put into a relationship and the outcomes they receive. When individuals perceive a discrepancy between their inputs and outcomes, they experience a state of inequity, which can have negative effects on their motivation, job satisfaction, and overall well-being.

14. Give the Relevance of the Theory to the Study In terms of its application in education, equity theory has been used to understand students' perceptions of fairness and satisfaction with support services, including academic advising, counseling, and tutoring. For example, a study by Alsop (2020), investigated the impact of academic advising on student satisfaction and found that students who perceived the advising process to be fair and equitable were more satisfied with their educational experience.

15. RELATED LITERATURE & STUDIES Related literature and studies provide contextual information and additional evidence to support research findings.

16. Related Literature Related literature is an essential component of research that provides a comprehensive understanding of the topic or problem under investigation.

17. List of Constructs & Variables which are relevant in the study Service Quality Service Student Support Services Registrar Library Guidance Office Clinic Student Affairs Office Note: Group these variables into independent and dependent categories

18. Search for relevant literature Identify themes, debates, and gaps Evaluate sources To write related literature, researchers should follow these steps

19. Review of Related Literature Present an introductory sentence for proper transition. The following review of related literature aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of previous research and findings in the field, offering a valuable context for the current study.

20. Related Study In his study, Jayasundara (2008) points out that users’ perception and expectation research has been one of the most prominent types of research in recent years. Findings revealed that users will feel confident in the library personnel if they believe they are skilled, and confidence that issues would be readily remedied, resulting in higher levels of satisfaction with the service. The library also offers a variety of additional services to the students. Note: Focus on the findings.
