Research Blog #7: Frame



What theory, paradigm, term, or academic concepts help you make sense of your project?

 This is what we call an “academic frame.”  Explain how you are using academic terms and ideas to make sense of your project.  By this point you should have atleast six academic sources. 

Make reference to the most important ones that support your frame.



What theory, paradigm, term, or academic concepts help you make sense of your project?

  1. Rising cost of tuition
  2. Law of demand
  3. Educational Pathways
  4. Sociological differences in major choice

I am using these academic terms and ideas to theorize and test data to see if there is a shift in demand of certain types of degrees correlated with the effect of the rise of college tuition (IPEDS and Delta cost data).  Educational pathways could explain how students seeking higher education might not often go the route of a labor intensive major (Indebted, Zaloom), so that is an effect I would like to discuss, as well as the effect that gender, race, and socioeconomic position has on the completion of a college degree in various fields of studies.(Wang, Why students choose stem majors).
