THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

THEORY FRAMEWORK
A CONCEPT formulated to Skeleton, a basic structure or fram
explain, predict and understand a of reference desgined to support
phenomena something.

Theoretical Framework deals with theories that serve as building

blocks or skeleton for the foundation or bases of the study.
 2
The researcher cites and discusses related theories
that serve as the foundation of the variables and
their relationship, to make the study more scientific
and understandable to readers.

According to Olandria (2015), “It discusses the very

foundation or rationale why the study is conducted.
It covers known and long-accepted concepts, laws,
policies, and principles which form the legal basis
where the current study is anchored upon.”

STRENGTHENS YOUR STUDY.

Permits the readers to evaluate your topic or the

research problem critically.
Connects the researcher to existing knowledge.
Having a theory helps the researcher identify the
limits to generalizations
Makes the research to focus on questions of WHY
and HOW.

Sample of Theoretical Framework
The study is anchored from the theoretical support of the three models on
the effects of principals on student literacy and achievement by Hallinger
and Heck (1996 - 1998) the direct-effects model, where principals directly
affect student outcomes without mediating variables; the mediated -effects
model, where principals indirectly affect students outcomes through
mediating variables; and the reciprocal -effects model, where principals
and features of the school have an interactive relationship.

Consequently, principals have a critical leadership role to play in helping

students improve their reading skills or literacy. This is the principal,
according to Crawford and Torgesen (2007), who inspired high standards
and the confidence that the goals of high standards can be achieved.
Through the achievement of high standards, effective student performance
maybe integrated into the culture of the school.
