Theories are constructed in order to

explain, predict and master phenomena

(e.g. relationships, events, or the
behavior). In many instances we are
constructing models of reality.
A theory makes generalizations about
observations and consists of an
interrelated, coherent set of ideas and
models.
The theoretical framework of the
study is a structure that can hold
or support a theory of a research
work. It presents the theory which
explains why the problem under
study exists.
Thus, the theoretical framework is
but a theory that serves as a basis
for conducting research.
Purpose:
It helps the researcher see clearly
the variables of the study;

It can provide him with a

general framework for data
analysis;

It is essential in preparing a
research proposal using
descriptive and experimental
Formulating a
Framework
Theoretical
🞇 Authoritative theories must
be presented
🞇 Identify the important
concepts
🞇 Always mention the theory that
will be utilized;
🞇 By giving assumptions , defining
key terms and c oncepts,
identifying the variables, and
stating the relationship of the
hypothesized variables.
