A. CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
LET'S START
WHAT IS ?
Conceptual
framework
Conceptual framework
offers an illustration
of how the entire
research process will
be explored, and
explains the
relationships of the
concepts in the study.

Conceptual
Framework
help to identify the research questionhelp to identify the research
questions, the variables that will be studied, and the relationships
between them.s, the variables that will be studied, and the
relationships between them.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
guides the researchers to
construct the study according
to their perspective
highlights the significance of
the study
HELP TO IDENTIFY THE
RESEARCH QUESTIONS, THE
VARIABLES THAT WILL BE
STUDIED, AND THE
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN
THEM.
HOW CAN A
CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK BENEFIT
YOUR RESEARCH?
A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
BENEFITS RESEARCH BY PROVIDING A
CLEAR STRUCTURE FOR DEFINING
CONCEPTS, GUIDING DESIGN,
FOCUSING THE STUDY, INTERPRETING
DATA, AND ENSURING COHERENCE.
Basic skills to help start your research
RESEARCH
FRAMEWORKS
Theoretical framework
Theoretical framework refers to the theory where
the researcher based their study.
Conceptual Framework
Conceptual framework is the synthesized ideas
and concepts from different related sources.
A theoretical framework is based
on an established theory whereas
the conceptual framework is an
illustration of the researcher’s
viewpoint of the study.
How to construct a
conceptual framework
#1 - FINALIZE
Finalize the research topic.
Choose a topic that is based on
your interest and academic strand.
#2 - CONDUCT
Conduct a literature review.
The literature review must be
credible and scientific.
It is best to consult published journals
for your research to ensure that
studies are credible, recent, and up-to-
date.
#3 - DECIDE
Decide which variables are to
be investigated.
Distinguish the main variables to be studied
and identify possible relationships based
on the gathered literature.
#4 - CONSTRUCT
Construct the conceptual framework.
Create the conceptual framework using the
related studies. Main variables and the
research process must be emphasized.
What counts as a
“good” conceptual
framework?
Hours spent
late hours spended in social media
Specially,
The young peoples
PLACES
have ambiance
yummy foods
good service of staff

Defining
terms
DEFINITION
OF TERMS
Defining terms is
necessary to establish
boundaries on how certain
terms will be used in the
study.
CONCEPTUAL AND
OPERATIONAL
DEFINITIONS
What is
CONCEPTUAL DEFINITION
Conceptual definitions
are the theoretical or
abstract meaning of a
concept.
OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS
Operational definitions
refer to how a variable
was used or measured
in the study.
THE DIFFERENCE :
Conceptual Definition Operational Definition
Profit is the difference between the amount earned and
the amount spent in buying, operating, or producing
something.
Profit refers to the amount earned in selling garments
for the month of January.
Self-esteem is the degree of one’s own worth and
respect.
Self-esteem refers to the score gained in the
Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES).
Current refers to the movement of electricity in a particular
direction.
Current is the rate at which an electric charge flows
measured in Amperes.
What are the consequences of
not precisely defining the
terms used in the study?

REMEMBER
The conceptual framework
integrates concepts and ideas
gathered from different sources.
The theoretical framework of a
study refers to the existing
theory where the researchers
based their study.
REMEMBER
Both the conceptual and theoretical
framework give direction to the study
by emphasizing the main constructs
and concepts in a research study.
The two types of definitions used in a
study are the conceptual definition
and operational definition.
