THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Is the structure that can hold or

support a theory of a research
study.
The theoretical framework
introduces and describes the
theory that explains why the
research problem under study
exists.
 ELEMENTS OF THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

•Relevant Theories
•Review of Related Literature
•Review of Related Studies
•Paradigm
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

Is a graphical presentation of
your concepts or ideas on a
basic structure or
components of your research
as well as on the relationships
of these elements with one
another.
PURPOSE OF CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

➢ It gives people notion on the research

activities you want to perform , on the
manner you want to carry these activities out,
and on the knowledged that you have to
prove your familiarity with your research topic
or research problem.

 Pointers in Writing a Conceptual
Framework
1. Familiarize yourself with the objective of the
conceptual framework.
2. Base the elements of the conceptual framework on
your own understanding of the elements and of the
relationships of the research features.
3. See to it that all aspects of the conceptual framework
are related to the objectives of the research.
4. Let others read your conceptual framework for
comments and feedbacks for improvement
purposes.
