 THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
❑ a foundational review of existing theories
that serves as a roadmap for developing
the arguments you will use in your own
work
 The theoretical framework strengthens the
study in the following ways:
● An explicit statement of theoretical assumptions
permits the reader to evaluate them critically.

● The theoretical framework connects the

researcher to existing knowledge.
 The theoretical framework strengthens the
study in the following ways:
● Articulating the theoretical assumptions of
a research study forces you to address
questions of why and how.

● Having a theory helps you identify the

limits to those generalizations.
 Importance of Theoretical Framework in
Research.
1. It provides a theory-driven approach to the current
study.
2. It gives the study a well-defined and proven basis
of argument.
3. It offers an explanation of the study's significance
and validity.
 Importance of Theoretical Framework in
Research.
1. It shows where the researcher intends to fill in gaps of
knowledge and practice.

2. It provides broader guidelines and a general set of ideas

within which a research study can be fit in.

3. It provides the structure to define how the scholars shall

approach the thesis as a whole.
The purpose of Theoretical Framework is to explain
the meaning, nature, and challenges associated with a
phenomenon, often experienced but unexplained in
the world in which we live, so that we may use that
knowledge and understanding to act in more
informed and effective ways.
