CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
• This consists of concepts that are placed within a
logical and sequential design
• It represents a less formal structure and is used
for studies in which existing theory is
inapplicable or insufficient
• It is based on specific concepts and propositions,
derived from empirical observation and intuition

PURPOSES OF CONCEPTUAL
FRAMEWORK
• To clarify concepts and propose relationships
among the concepts in a study
• To provide a context for interpreting the study

• To encourage theory development that is useful
to practice

IMPORTANCE OF
THEORY IN RESEARCH

the starting point of the research problem and to
establish the vision to which the problem is
directed
• It determines and defines the focus and goal of
the research problem
24
PURPOSES OF
THEORY IN RESEARCH
• To test theories
• To make research findings meaningful and
generalizable
• To establish orderly connections between
observations and facts
• To predict and control situations
• To stimulate research 25
