Writing A Conceptual and Theoretical Framework

The document discusses the importance of conceptual and theoretical frameworks. A theoretical framework justifies and contextualizes research by reviewing existing theories that support the topic and serve as a roadmap. A conceptual framework illustrates cause-and-effect relationships through a visual representation and is constructed before data collection to guide a study by identifying variables and their relationships. Both frameworks are crucial first steps that set the foundation for successful research and writing.

WRITING A CONCEPTUAL AND THEORETICAL

FRAMEWORK
THE IMPORTANCE OF CONCEPTUAL AND THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Theoretical Framework

 Is a foundational review of existing theories that serves as a roadmap for developing the
arguments you will use in your own work.

Theories are developed by researchers to explain phenomena, draw connections, and make
predictions. In a theoretical framework, you explain the existing theories that support your
research, showing that your paper or dissertation topic is relevant and grounded in established
ideas.

In other words, your theoretical framework justifies and contextualizes your later research, and
it’s a crucial first step for your research paper, thesis, or dissertation. A well-rounded theoretical
framework sets you up for success later on in your research and writing process .
Conceptual Framework

 You should construct your conceptual framework before you begin collecting


your data. Conceptual frameworks are often represented in a visual format
and illustrate cause-and-effect relationships. You can start conceptualizing
this as you determine your relevant paper, thesis, or dissertation topic.

This framework is a tool that is used prior to a study. This makes a


conceptual framework an analytical tool. It is used to make conceptual
distinctions and bring together different ideas. Strong conceptual frameworks
lead to an actual realization of the intended objective.

It is also called a conceptual model or research model. Different variables and


the assumed relationships between those variables are included in the model
and reflect the expectations.
