Hypotheses

• Hypothesis is the tentative explanation to specific


problems which is carefully formulated.
• It provides direction to a study. Hypothesis must be

The part states tentative answers to research questions. The
hypothesis should be measurable and desirable, expressing
expected relationship between/among two or more variables. It
should be based on the theory and/or empirical evidence. It is a
prediction of some sort regarding the possible outcomes of a study .
A hypothesis in statistical form has the following
characteristics:
 It is used when the tests of significance of relationships and
differences of measures are involved.
 The level of significance is stated.

Theoretical Framework / Conceptual Framework

Theoretical framework refers to the set of


interrelated constructs, definitions, and propositions
that present a systematic view of phenomena by
specifying relations among variables. The theoretical
framework becomes the basis of the research
problem. It explains the phenomena upon which the
research investigation hopes to fill the vacuum in
the stream of knowledge Sevilla, et.al (2024).
Theoretical Framework / Conceptual Framework of the Study

This serves as the blueprint of the study where it


represents the relationships among the concepts and
variables in the study. It also serves as the basis for the
conceptual and theoretical of the research problem.
Conceptual framework includes the systems of
concepts, assumptions, expectations and beliefs that support
a research study. It must be express out in a diagram or
illustration by identifying the key factors, concepts, or
