15. 1. Identify the important
variables of your study
•the independent and the
dependent variables
16. 2. Think how the
variables are related
• Having a direct relationship
between variables does not
mean that they already
have a cause-and-effect
relationship
17. 3. Create a visual
diagram or a model
a. Independent-Dependent
Model
b. Input-Process-Output Model
c. Concept Maps
18. 4. Explain your conceptual
framework in narrative
form
• Provide a brief explanation of
your conceptual framework. State
the important variables, their
relationship, and the research
outcome.
19. Sample:
• Figure 1 shows the Conceptual
Framework of the study. The quantity
of the organic fertilizer used is the
independent variable while the growth
of the plant is the research’s
dependent variable. These two
variables are directly related based
on the research’s empirical evidence.
