Conceptual Framework

Notre Dame of Kidapawan College provides an overview of conceptual frameworks. A conceptual framework outlines the key factors, constructs, or variables, and presumes relationships among them. It should provide an overall view of the research study, anchor a supporting theory, guide development of research questions and objectives, and help justify assumptions. A concept map is a visual representation of the relationships between ideas in a study. Common examples of conceptual frameworks include models that show relationships between independent and dependent variables, and input-process-output models.

Conceptual
Framework
Practical Research 2
refers to the actual ideas, beliefs, and
tentative theories that
specifically support the study. It is primarily
a conception or model
of what is out there that the
researcher plans to study.
Characteristics Conceptual Framework
• Provide an overall view of the research
study;
• Anchor a theory that supports the study; •
Guide in developing relevant research
questions/objectives;
• Help justify assumptions/hypothesis;
Characteristics Conceptual Framework15 07/

5. Aid in choosing appropriate methodology; 6.


Help in gathering and interpreting data and 7.
Guide in identifying possible threats to validity.
Concept Map
A concept map is a visual representation of information
that helps show the relationship between ideas.
Concept maps begin with the main topic and then
branch out into sub-topics, reflecting the connection of
all the elements in the study. It can also provide and
organize new ideas.
Before creating your conceptual framework, you
have to understand first the different variables of
your study. Although these were
already discussed in the previous module for the
purpose of utilizing it in your framework, an in-
depth concept is a need.
Variables
Independent variable - the “presumed cause” of the research
problem.
Dependent variable - the “presumed effect” of the research
problem

Mediating variable or Intervening variable - is an element


that exists between the independent to the dependent variable.
A mediator (or mediating) variable is an integral part of the
cause-effect relationship and helps us to understand the effects
of the independent variable on the depe ndent variable.
Common Example of
Conceptual
Framework
Independent Variable - Dependent Variable
Model (IV-DV)

This conceptual framework shows the independent and dependent variables


of the study. It is presumed that the more number of hours a student prepares for the
exam, the higher would be the expected academic performance.
The Input – Process - Output Model (IPO)

This conceptual framework shows the input, process, and output approach of
the study. The input is the independent variable, which includes the socio-
demographic and food safety profile of the respondents. The process includes the tools
and analyses in gathering the data, while the output is the outcome based on the results
of the study.
