10 Questions
Match the following steps in creating a conceptual framework with their descriptions:
Choosing your own topic = Selecting the main focus of your research Identifying key concepts = Recognizing the fundamental ideas in your research Doing a literature review = Examining how key concepts have been used in previous research Earmarking the important variables = Highlighting the key variables to measure in your study
Match the following types of variables with their descriptions:
Mediator variable = Variable that explains the relationship between two other variables Moderator variable = Variable that influences the strength or direction of the relationship between two other variables Control variable = Variable that is kept constant in an experiment to prevent confounding effects Independent variable = Variable that is manipulated or controlled by the researcher
Match the following conceptual framework types with their definitions:
Conceptual framework = A roadmap that connects ideas, concepts, and theories in a field of study Conceptual model = Visual or written representation of a complex system or phenomenon Flowchart = Visual representation of relationships among study variables Mind map = Visual representation connecting different concepts within a field of study
Match the following terms with their roles in research conceptualization:
Empirical studies = Conducting experiments or observations to test hypotheses Hypothesis = A proposed explanation for a phenomenon being studied Variables = Factors that can be measured, controlled, or manipulated in a study Literature review = Reviewing existing research to understand how key concepts have been used
Match the following statements about conceptual frameworks with their purposes:
Organizing knowledge and developing theories = Purpose of serving as a scheme for researchers Creating a clear, concise, and testable framework = Purpose of revising the conceptual framework Connecting different ideas and concepts within a field of study = Purpose of providing an outline for structuring work Pictorially or verbally depicting relationships among study variables = Purpose of visually representing presumed relationships
What is the purpose of a conceptual framework in research?
To understand a research problem, guide the development and analysis of research, organize and categorize knowledge, develop theories and hypotheses, and conduct empirical studies.
How can a conceptual framework be created?
In the form of a flowchart, mind map, concept map, or process diagram to display hypotheses and the chain of variables.
What are the steps involved in creating a conceptual framework?
Choosing the research topic, identifying key concepts, doing a literature review, earmarking important variables, expanding the framework by identifying other variables, and revising the framework.
What are some types of variables that may be included in a conceptual framework?
Mediator, moderator, and control variables.
What is a conceptual model?
A visual or written representation of a complex system or phenomenon that helps identify the main components of the system.
