This document differentiates between a conceptual framework and theoretical framework. A conceptual framework is the researcher's specific plan for how a research problem will be explored, based on broader theoretical frameworks established by previous research. It outlines the specific variables and relationships being studied, as well as the input, process, and expected output of the investigation. A theoretical framework provides more general representations of relationships within a phenomenon and can include multiple relevant theories, while a conceptual framework describes the specific direction of a single study.

and theoretical framework?
CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
A conceptual framework is the researcher’s idea on
how the research problem will have to be explored.
This is founded on the theoretical framework, which
lies on a much broader scale of resolution.
The theoretical framework dwells on time tested
theories that embody the findings of numerous
investigations on how phenomena occur.
The conceptual framework, on the other hand,
embodies the specific direction by which the research
will have to be undertaken.
The theoretical framework provides a general
representation of relationships between things in a
given phenomenon.
Statistically speaking, the conceptual framework
describes the relationship between specific variables
identified in the study.
The theoretical framework describes a broader
relationship between things. When stimulus is applied,
response is expected.
It also outlines the input, process and output of the
whole investigation. The conceptual framework is
also called the research paradigm (Aguirre, 2105).
Theoretical framework deals with the themes or theory
related to your research study and it can contain more
than one theory which helps you to analysis your
research problem and increase you theoretical existing
knowledge (Aguirre, 2015).
