Conceptual Framework

This conceptual framework presents the relationship between systematic functional grammar (SFG) and critical thinking. It shows SFG's ideational, interpersonal, and textual functions as independent variables that influence the dependent variable of critical thinking. The framework uses a diagram to visually depict how SFG's language components can increase critical thinking through knowledge acquisition, relationship building, and coherent expression.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

• CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

It is a graphical presentation of your concepts or


ideas on the basic structure or components of
your research as well as on the relationships of
these elements with one another.
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 schematic diagram,
explained verbally as well.
It also serves the purpose of clarifying concepts
and their relationships with one another in a
research study.
Concept Map
Made up of varied figures: lines, circles, boxes and
other marks or symbols representing your
concept on the varied features of your research.
A conceptual framework looks like a map
showing the main features of a plan or project
plus the relationship between or among the
features in the research.
Example:
Research Problem or Topic: “Improving Critical
Thinking through Systematic Functional
Grammar”

Systematic Functional Grammar ( 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 of 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.

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
relationships of the research features.
3. See to it that all aspects of the conceptual
framework are related to the objective of the
research.
4. Let others read your conceptual framework for
comments or feedback for improvement purposes
Conceptual Framework vs. Theoretical
Framework
• CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
 plans, concepts, or ideas about many
aspects of your research are shown
and clarified graphically
Enables readers to clearly see the
basic structure of the research and the
relationships of variables and other
factual things involved in the study
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
 Gives and explains the theories,
principles, generalizations, and
research findings
 Makes people know and understand
evidence –based truths, concepts,
speculations and assumptions
underlying each aspect of the research
and the relationship of these research
features with one another.
Activity
Direction: decide whether each set of words make
up a conceptual or theoretical framework. Put a
check mark (/) on the line under your correct
answer.
