Theoretical FrameworkTheoretical Framework
A conceptual model that depict how YOU relate all the
important variables identified in your study.
Helps you generate and test the relationships to
enhances your understanding of the dynamics of the
problem.
Consists of variables and relationships between the
variables.

Hypothesis GenerationHypothesis Generation
An hypothesis is a relationship that is assumed based
upon logic, between two or more variables in the form
that is testable.
Format 1: Differences
Testing and validating an assumed hypothesis can
leads to problem solution.
Format 2: If-then

Examples ofExamples of
HypothesesHypotheses
If communication among crew is good then the
number of air traffic violation will be reduced
Good training among crew members will reduced
nervousness and subsequently reduces the number of
air traffic violations.
If the communication among crew members is good
then the number of air traffic violations will be
reduced provided they had sufficient training.
