A framework
serves as the building blocks for the foundation of the
study.
framework
2 types of research framework:
theoretical framework and conceptual
framework.
is formulated from existing theories and as the foundation of the study. The present study can adopt the original model used by the cited theorist. However, the
researcher can modify the variables of the original framework to better suit the study,
theoretical framework
- derived from a combination of theories or parts of theories.
- framework guides the researcher in synthesizing the different theories used in
formulating a new one.
conceptual framework
is more suitable for student researchers than the conceptual framework because of the former's simpler approach.
theoretical framework
4 elements of Theoretical Framework
Relevant theories.
Review of related literature.
Review of related studies.
Paradigm of the study.
theories that are partially or fully relevant to the present
study and are discussed to provide a basis for the variables being tested.
Relevant theories.
are published materials that compare the study with
existing knowledge on the research topic. This part defines, classifies, and facilitates objective comprehension of the variables being studied.
Review of related literature.
part includes the theses or dissertations on research
topics carrying the same variables. The findings from the previous studies define the approach that the researcher took in measuring the variables.
Review of related studies.
a diagrammatic presentation of the study used to visually
summarize the whole study. It is the result of a clearer understanding of the theoretical or conceptual framework. It is usually comprised of symbols and figures
Paradigm of the study.
most commonly used paradigms
IPO (input-process-output) model.
is used
when the research seeks to discuss a factor or a major variable that causes a problem.
phenomenon, or transformation in the subject.
IPO (input-process-output) model
variables that causes
the problem,
phenomenon, or
transformation)
INPUT
method by which the
variables are collected and
synthesized)
PROCESS
(the problem,
phenomenon, or
transformation; the
outcome of the variables)
OUTPUT
serves as the basis of the research. It points out, through its cited theories, which specific variables will be the focus of the study.
theoretical framework
established. It also
prefaces the new knowledge introduced in the research by validating or challenging theoretical
assumptions.
theoretical framework
following strategies in formulating the
theoretical framework:
- Examine your thesis title and research problem.
- Brainstorm about what is considered as the key variables in the research.
- Review related literature and studies.
- List the constructs and variables.
- Review key theories.
- Discuss the assumptions or propositions.
research problem should be
well-founded since it serves as the foundation of the theoretical framework.
Examine your thesis title and research problem.
factors that are presumed to have significant bearing on the results of the study should
be identified.
Brainstorm about what is considered as the key variables in the research.
basis of the research should be supported
by relevant literature and studies from authors who had conducted an extensive
research on the topic.
Review related literature and studies.

are research factors that are measured in the study.
