FRAMEWORK - PART 1 of 2 - Identifying a Gap in Existing Research

A Strategic Framework for Listening, Mapping, and Inclusive Inquiry



Part 1 of the Identifying a Gap in Existing Research framework offers a modular, values-led structure for guiding scholars through the art of gap identification with clarity, care, and strategic generosity. Designed for mentors, research facilitators, and curriculum designers, this resource reframes gaps not as deficiencies, but as relational invitations, opportunities to listen deeply, trace silences, and contribute with integrity. Each module supports landscape scanning, tension mapping, and framing practices that honour emotional clarity and inclusive scholarship. Whether used in thesis development, proposal writing, or research training, this framework helps transform gap identification into a practice of resonance, contribution, and strategic depth.
