Theoretical and

Conceptual Framework
A theoretical framework is commonly
used for studies that anchor on time-
tested theories that relate the findings
of the investigation to the
underpinning relevant theory of
knowledge.
A conceptual framework refers to the
actual ideas, beliefs, and tentative
theories that specifically support the
study. It is primarily a conception or
model of what is out there that the
researcher plans to study.
Similarities of the Theoretical and
Conceptual Framework
• 1. Provide an overall view of the research study;
• 2. Anchor a theory that supports the study;
• 3. Guide in developing relevant research
questions/objectives;
• 4. Help justify assumptions/hypothesis;
• 5. Aid in choosing appropriate methodology;
• 6. Help in gathering and interpreting data;
• 7. Guide in identifying possible threats to validity.
Differences between the Theoretical and
Conceptual Framework
Concept Map

• A concept map is a visual representation of


information that helps show the relationship
between ideas. Concept maps begin with the main
topic and then branch out into sub-topics, reflecting
the connection of all the elements in the study. It
can also provide and organize new ideas.
• It is composed of different figures such as lines, circles, boxes,
and other marks or symbols which represent the elements of your
research.
• It can take the form of charts, graphic organizers, tables,
flowcharts, Venn Diagrams, timelines, or T-charts. Concept map
arranges related ideas in a hierarchy. You start broad, and the
sub-topics will get more and more specific.
• It also helps you in formulating a specific topic from the general
or the main idea with significant connections of information.
• In other words, understanding the big picture makes the details
more significant and easier to comprehend.
• However, in the concept map, you are not yet actually
researching your study.
• It is developing or creating your plan or blueprint so
that you will be guided on the flow and direction of
your research study. And that includes your research
questions, variables, and methodology.
• It means that you are just gathering and soliciting
ideas on what you could learn about your chosen
topic.
