I What I need to know?

In this lesson, you will learn how to formulate clearly the conceptual
framework and define terms used in the study.

Activity #1: Vocabulary Improvement

Direction: Put a plus sign (+) under the heading of the column if it is related with
the vocabulary word; minus sign (-), if it is not related with the word.

The Conceptual Framework

The Conceptual Framework

A conceptual framework is a graphical presentation of your concepts or ideas

on the basic structure or components of your research as well as on the relation-
ships of these elements with one another. It is a graph or non-prose mate-
rial,specifically, a schematic diagram that shows a well-ordered elements of the
research.Giving a carefully constructed arrangement of the components of your
study, conceptual framework is abroad outline or plan to give shape to your re-
search. (Shields & Rangarjan 2013).

Purposes of Conceptual Framework

Conceptual framework shows the organization, order, and direction of your
research study. It is an essential initial activity of your research because by
means of a schematic diagram, explained verbally as well, it enables the readers
to obtain a general understanding of the research. It gives people a notion on the
research activities you want to perform, on the manner you want to carry these
activities out, and on the knowledge you have to prove your familiarity with your
research topic or research problem. It also serves the purpose of clarifying con-
cepts and their relationships with one another in a research study.

Conceptual Framework vs. Theoretical Framework

All your plans, concepts, or ideas about the many aspects of your research
are shown and clarified graphically and verbally in the conceptual framework.
However, looking so broad or numerous, all components of the study, concrete
and abstract, are not extensively and thoroughly explained by the conceptual
framework. Hence, there is this other part of your research paper, called theoreti-
cal framework that gives and explains the theories, principles, generalizations,

The Conceptual Framework

Conceptual framework enables the readers to clearly see in their minds the basic
structure of the research and the relationships of variables and other factual
things involved in the study. Theoretical framework, on the other hand, makes
people know and understand evidence-based truths, concepts, speculations,
and assumptions underlying each aspect of the research and the relationships of
these research features with one another.
An in-depth knowledge of the theoretical principles governing or control-
ling the things involved in the research makes you think well and accurately of
the varied aspects of your study; thereby, giving you the chance to have a better
view of not only the main problem of your research but also of its other compo-
nents. You get to read in the theoretical framework the basis or foundation of the
research; in the conceptual framework, the broad outline plan to carry out the
research on the basis of the theories, principles, or generalizations proven true
by facts and logical reasoning. (Shields & Rangarjan 2013; Walliman 2014)

Pointers in Writing a Conceptual Framework

1. Familiarize yourself with the objective of the conceptual framework.
2. Base the contents of the conceptual framework on your own understanding of
the elements and of the relationships of the research features.
3. See to it that all aspects of the conceptual framework are related to the objec-
tive of the research.
4. Let others read your conceptual framework for comments or feedback for im-
provement purposes.

Terms used either operationally or technically in a research study

Operational- definition based on how a word/s are used in the research study

The Conceptual Framework

Conceptual Framework vs. Theoretical Framework

All your plans, concepts, or ideas about the many aspects of your re-
search are shown and clarified graphically and verbally in the conceptual frame-
work. However, looking so broad or numerous, all components of the study, con-
crete and abstract, are not extensively and thoroughly explained by the concep-
tual framework. Hence, there is this other part of your research paper, called
theoretical framework that gives and explains the theories, principles, generaliza-
tions, and research findings, which have some connection to your research
study.
Conceptual framework enables the readers to clearly see in their minds
the basic structure of the research and the relationships of variables and other
factual things involved in the study. Theoretical framework, on the other hand,
makes people know and understand evidence-based truths, concepts, specula-
tions, and assumptions underlying each aspect of the research and the relation-
ships of these research features with one another.
An in-depth knowledge of the theoretical principles governing or controlling the
things involved in the research makes you think well and accurately of the varied
aspects of your study; thereby, giving you the chance to have a better view of
not only the main problem of your research but also of its other components. You
get to read in the theoretical framework the basis or foundation of the research;
in the conceptual framework, the broad outline plan to carry out the research on
the basis of the theories, principles, or generalizations proven true by facts and
logical reasoning. (Shields & Rangarjan 2013; Walliman 2014)
