CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
DRILL:
Direction: Identify what kind of variable.

•Post test scores

•Gender
•Year level
•Age
•Academic achievement
•Fertilizer rate
REVIEW:

•What are the main components

of literature review?
OBJECTIVE:
At the end of this lesson, you should be
able to:
Write a conceptual
framework(CS_RS12-If-j-6)
Defines term used in the study
(CS_RS12-If-j-7
LESSON PROPER:
Research Framework:
Research Framework illustrates the structure or blueprint of
the research plan and helps the researcher formulate relevant
research questions.

Framework consist of the key concepts and assumed

relationships of the research project. It is normally used as a
guide for researchers so that they are more focused on the scope
of their studies. It can be presented by using visual (diagram,
chart, etc.) and narrative (paragraph stating the concepts and
relationships of the study)forms.
LESSON PROPER:
Conceptual Framework:

Conceptual Framework
• Refers to the actual ideas, beliefs, and tentative theories that
specifically support the study.
• Not all conceptual frameworks have to include a diagram or
graphic. You can present the same information by writing a
narrative. Your narrative should summarize the variables and
explore how they may change you hypothesis.
• Cannot only help to guide your research to ensure that your
research stay on track, but it also helps to guide fellow
researchers or advisers who are analyzing your research.
 LESSON PROPER:
Conceptual Framework:

*in each component of research, you should show the variables

that influence it.

Example: if you are studying childhood development outcome,

you might study home life, school and community which would
each be influenced by different variables.
For school, your variables might be peers, teachers and learning
disabilities. The more detailed you are with your diagram, the
more thorough your conceptual framework will be.
LESSON PROPER:
Conceptual Framework:

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.
LESSON PROPER:
Nature and Purposes:

Purposes of a Conceptual Framework

• To clarify concepts and propose relationships among
the concepts in a study
• To provide a context for interpreting the study findings
• To explain observations
• To encourage theory development that is useful and
practical
 LESSON PROPER:
Nature and Purposes:
Step by step on How to Write the Conceptual Framework
1. Choose your topic. Decide on what will be your research topic. It should be
within the field of your specialization.
2. Do a literature review. Go over relevant ad updated studies related to your own
research topic. Use reliable sources of information and use appropriate
documentation.
3. Isolate the important variables. Identify the specific variables mentioned in the
literature and show their interrelationships.
4. Generate the conceptual framework. Build your conceptual framework using
the variables studied in the specific articles you have read. Your problem
statement served as a reference in constructing the conceptual framework. In
effect, your study will attempt to answer a questions that other researchers have
not explained yet.
LESSON PROPER:
Related Terms:
Framework:
 Described as the abstract, logical structure of meaning that guides the development
of the study.
 Based on the identification of key concepts and the relationships among these
concepts can be derived from related concepts or existing theories.
Concept:
 Abstractly describes and names an object or phenomenon; that is an intellectual
representation of some of reality that is derived from observations taken from
phenomena.
Variable:
 It signifies a more concrete level and is narrow in definitions. A variables is more
specific and is measurable.
Group Activity:

Direction: Write a conceptual

framework based on research topic.

Group Activity:

Direction: Define the terms use in

your study.

• What is an importance of Hypotheses
in research?
• What are the characteristics of a
hypothesis?
