CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
➢ a conceptual framework is the
visualized construct of the present
study. It describes the relationships
that the present study seeks to
establish.
➢ The conceptual framework remains
with quantitative research.
However, conceptual frameworks
for qualitative studies also provide
theoretical arguments that inform
the study. It is not selecting a theory
per se, but explaining the main
arguments that serve to inform the
whole paper.
➢ The input consists the profile of the
respondents and the factors
connected with the dependent and
independent variables of the
research.
➢ The process involves the
questionnaires used, observations
conducted, the data gathering
procedures, and the statistical
treatment of data.
➢ The output refers to the action
taken after interpreting the results
of the study.
