Key Differences between Theory and Research
- Nature: A theory is a conceptual framework used to explain things, whereas research is a creative work that generates new knowledge.
- Practical Nature: Theories do not include practical elements, whereas research is mostly a practical approach.
- Arrangement: A theory usually results from research; an assumption is made to a theory after a series of researches, and research usually precedes theories.
