A conceptual framework is a graphical presentation of the researcher’s
concepts or ideas on the basic structure or components of research as well
as on the relationships of these elements with one another. It is a graph or
non-prose material, specifically, a schematic diagram that shows a well-
ordered elements of the research. (Shields & Rangarjan 2013)
 
Example:
Research Problem or Topic: “Improving Critical thinking through
Systemic Functional Grammar”

Theoretical framework gives and explains the theories, principles,

generalizations, and research findings, which have some connection to
your research study.
 Systemic Functional Grammar or
SFG is a modern language theory which
states that man’s critical thinking
increases whenever he uses language
for these reasons: first, for ideational
function or for knowledge acquisition;
second, for interpersonal function or
creating human relationships, and third,
for textual function or for strategic and
coherent expression of ideas. In this
case, the independent variables are the
SFG components (ideational,
interpersonal, and textual functions) and
the dependent variable is critical
thinking. Here is the conceptual
framework to present the concepts
underlying this study. (Ravich & Riggan
2012)
