Theoretical and Conceptual Framework
Theoretical and Conceptual Framework
Practical Research 1
By Marielle Dominique G. De la Cruz
Theoretical
framework is
a ‘blueprint’
of the
research
study.
Without a theoretical
framework, the
structure and vision
for a study is
unclear, much like a
house that cannot be
constructed without
a blueprint.
The Theoretical
framework is “the
most difficult but
not impossible part
of the proposal”
(Iqubal, 2007).
