Theoretical framework refers to the


theory where the researcher based their
study.

Conceptual framework is the


synthesized ideas and concepts from
different related sources.

A theoretical framework is based on an
established theory whereas the conceptual

Defining
Terms

Conceptual meaning of a concept.
and
Operational
Definitions Operational definitions refer
to how a variable was used or
measured in the study.

What are the consequences of not precisely
defining the terms used in the study?

Activity 4

Develop a conceptual framework for the


given variables below. Then, define the 3
terms using conceptual and operational
definitions:
● online learning
● classroom learning
● academic performance of students

constructing the conceptual
framework? Briefly explain your
answer. (5pts.)

The theoretical framework of a study


refers to the existing theory where
the researchers based their study.
33
Both the conceptual and theoretical
framework give direction to the study
by emphasizing the main
constructs and concepts in a

The two types of definitions used in a
