The Formulation of Conceptual Framework 2

The document discusses the formulation of conceptual frameworks for research. It defines a conceptual framework as a graphical presentation of the key concepts and relationships in a study. A conceptual framework gives an overview of the research elements and how they are organized. It clarifies concepts and enables readers to understand the overall structure and connections between variables. The purpose is to show the organization, direction and understanding of the research. An example conceptual framework is provided to demonstrate how it presents the concepts underlying a study on improving critical thinking through language theory.

The Formulation of Conceptual Framework

Conceptual Framework

• Is a graphical presentation of your concepts or ideas on the basic structure or components of


your research as well as on the relationships of these elements with one another.

• It is a graph or non-prose material, specifically, a schematic diagram that shows a well-ordered


elements of the research. Giving a carefully constructed arrangement of the components of your study.

• It is a broad outline or plan to give shape to your research. (Shields & Rangarjan 2013)

Purpose of Conceptual Framework

• Conceptual framework shows the organization, order, and direction of your research study.

• It is an essential initial activity of your research because by means of a schematic diagram,


explained verbally as well, it enables the readers to obtain a general understanding of the research.

• It gives people a notion on the research activities you want to perform, on the manner you want
to carry these activities out, and on the knowledge you have to prove your familiarity with your research
topic or research problem.

• It also serves the purpose of clarifying concepts and their relationships with one another in a
research study.

Concept Map

• Made up of varied figures: lines, circles, boxes, and other marks or symbols representing your
concepts on these varied features of your research—research question, review of related literature,
research methodology, and variables, among others.

• A conceptual framework looks like a map showing the main features of a plan or project plus the
relationship between or among the features or variables in the research.

Example of Conceptual Framework

• Research Problem or Topic: “Improving Critical thinking through Systemic Functional Grammar”

• Systemic Functional Grammar or SFG is a modern language theory which states that man’s
critical thinking increases whenever he uses language for these reasons: first, for ideational function or
for knowledge acquisition; second, for interpersonal function or creating human relationships, and third,
for textual function or for strategic and coherent expression of ideas. In this case, the independent
variables are the SFG components (ideational, interpersonal, and textual functions) and the dependent
variable is critical thinking. Here is the conceptual ramework to present the concepts underlying this
study. (Ravich & Riggan, 2012)

Conceptual Framework vs. Theoretical Framework


• All your plans, concepts, or ideas about the many aspects of your research are shown and
clarified graphically and verbally in the conceptual framework.

• There is this other part of your research paper, called theoretical framework that gives and
explains the theories, principles, generalizations, and research findings, which have some connection to
your research study.

• Conceptual framework enables the readers to clearly see in their minds the basic structure of
the research and the relationships of variables and other factual things involved in the study.

• Theoretical framework, on the other hand, makes people know and understand evidence-based
truths, concepts, speculations, and assumptions underlying each aspect of the research and the
relationships of these research features with one another.

Pointers in Writing a Conceptual Framework

1. Familiarize yourself with the objective of the conceptual framework.

2. Base the contents of the conceptual framework on your own understanding of the elements and

of the relationships of the research features.

3. See to it that all aspects of the conceptual framework are related to the objective of the research.

4. Let others read your conceptual framework for comments or feedback for improvement purposes.
