Abstract: Aristotle once said “colours have the capacity to cause themselves to be seen†. Colours have been used in many areas to facilitate information sharing. Colours are also used in teaching and learning to help leaners focus their attention on desired information. One of the main reasons why lecturers do not engage in research is that they needed guidance; at least to start off the research journey. Research engagement here refers to the progress of carrying out research which begins with choosing instrument, collecting data, analyzing data and writing up the research for publication. In lieu of that, a project called ‘coloured Scaffolds’ was implemented to guide lecturers through their research journey. This project was implemented to help lecturers write research for publication for indexed journals. What is concept that backs up the implementation of these coloured scaffolds project? This paper explores the concept behind using colours to complete research write-up. The paper begins by stating the need to explore the issue. It then progresses to explore theories to support the conceptual framework. Self-determination theory and ZPD theory are used to anchor the concept of this paper. The paper ends with a proposed conceptual framework to portray the conceptual framework of the project.
