The document provides information about conceptual frameworks including:
- It defines a conceptual framework as a graphical presentation showing the key components and relationships in a research study.

Quantitative Research
Questions: DI
6. SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
•A drawing showing all significant
components, parts, or tasks (and their
interconnections) of a circuit, device, flow,
process, or project by means of standard
symbols. Schematic diagrams for a project
may also be used for preparing preliminary
cost estimates.
7. GROUP ACTIVITY:
•Choose your Workshop Leader
•Fill up the activity form of a piece of paper with
your names and signature
•Create and build the tallest structure using only
one bond paper.
•You will present your structure to the other
teams providing its brief presentation.
•You will only have 5 minutes to build the
structure.
8. Rubric
Criteria Score
Stand the tallest/design (The tallest and the
design is clear)
3

9. PRESENTATION AND FEEDBACKS
•Each group presents their output and
hear from the other workshop leaders
their feedback
•The workshop leader of the assigned
group reporting should discuss the
weakness and strength of their
structure in 1 minute only.
10. DEBRIEFING:
1. How did you come up with your
structure?
2. What do you think were the reasons
why you came up with the strength
of your structure? How about the
weaknesses?
11. DEBRIEFING:
3. What could be the relationship of
this activity to our research
conceptual framework?
4. How do you understand now
conceptual framework?
12. DEBRIEFING:
5. What do you think is the purpose of
this conceptual framework in the
research?
6. How does it clarify the relationships
of each variable in the research?
14. A FRAMEWORK….
•A framework is similar to a skeleton; it is a
basic structure or a frame of reference
(Webster, 2016)
•A skeleton gives shape, form and strength to
the body so it can stand erect.
15. 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.
16. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
•It is a graph or non-prose material,
specifically, a schematic diagram that
shows a well-ordered elements of the
research.
17. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
•Giving a careful constructed
arrangement of the components of
your study, conceptual framework is
abroad outline or plan to give shape to
your research. (Shields & Rangarjan
2013)
18. PURPOSES OF CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
•It shows the organization, order, and
direction of your research study.
•It enables the readers to obtain a
general understanding of the research.
•It gives us the notion on the research
activities we want to perform.
19. PURPOSES OF CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
•It serves as the purpose of clarifying
concepts and their relationships with
one another in research study.
•It is useful in illustrating the
relationships among the variables.
20. CONCEPT MAP
•Made up of varied figures: lines, boxes, and
other marks or symbols representing your
concepts on these varied features of your
research – research question, review of related
literature, research methodology, and variables,
among others – a conceptual framework, looks
like a map showing the main features of a plan or
project plus the relationship between or among
the features or variables in the research.
21. EXAMPLE OF CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK OF RESEARCH STUDY
RESEARCH TOPIC: “Improving Critical Thinking through
Systematic Functional Grammar”
Systematic Functional Grammar or 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 or 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 IV are the SFG
components(ideational, interpersonal and textual functions)
and the DV is critical thinking. Here is the conceptual
framework to present the concepts underlying this study.

23. Conceptual Framework vs Theoretical Framework
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
- All your plans, concepts, ideas
about the many aspects of your
research shown and clarified
graphically and verbally.
- Enables the readers to clearly see
in their minds the basic structure
of the research and the
relationships of variables and
other factual things involved in
the study.
- Gives and explains the theories,
principles, generalizations, and
research findings, which some
connection to your research
study.
- Makes people know and
understand evidence-based
truths, concepts, speculations,
and assumptions underlying each
aspect of the research and the
24. 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 the
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.
25. Apply the Conceptual Framework in
your Research Topic
•Using a graph, place the IV and DV of
your research topic.
•Write on a piece of paper the title of
your research and the names of the
members.

Editor's Notes
Interrogative and Declarative Statements – i.e. I- What is an English grammar textbook? D – To define a grammar textbook
Deductive and Inductive – D – from bigger ideas such as theories or concepts to smaller ideas; I – starts from smaller and simpler ideas to bigger or more complex ones.
To explain it: Deductive is focusing on the theory and concepts, and to be able to understand our topic, we find the variables to make it more specific.
Inductive – is when we formulate questions to prove the idea of the certain theory or concept.
MOTIVATION: (3minutes) this diagram example is a wiring diagrams schema
What do you think of this schematic diagram?
What is the purpose of schematic diagram?
Why is it important?
What do you see in this diagram? – interconnections, lines, process, design, it helps us see the whole.
Each Group shall receive 1 whole sheet of bondpaper
(10 minutes)
POSSIBLE ANSWERS:
The activity may not be easy to do due to time constraint and limited resources
It may be because of their cooperation and collaborative team work.
POSSIBLE ANSWERS:
3. We should see first the scheme of our research… should have the basis… should know its strength and weakness
4. CF is a graphical presentation of our research.. The skeletal presentation of research topic.
POSSIBLE ANSWERS:
The activity may not be easy to do due to time constraint and limited resources
It may be because of their cooperation and collaborative team work.
Teacher explains: in the SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM we have before this lesson, we have noted the red marked words coming from its definition. Take note of these words: interconnection and cost estimate
Variables – are changing qualities or characteristics
CF – graphical presentation of the concept of thesis; schematic diagram showing well-ordered elements of the research
PURPOSE – Show organization, order and direction of research; obtain a general understanding of the research; gives notion on research activities to perform; clarifying concepts and its relationships
