Study Notes

Research Framework

The main purpose of a research framework is to guide the research process and provide a structure for the study.

Presentation of Research Framework

A research framework is typically presented in a clear and concise manner.

Benefits of Research Framework

The primary benefit of having a research framework in a study is to provide a clear direction and focus for the research.

Theoretical Framework

The content of a theoretical framework includes a description of the relationships between variables, and the underlying theories and concepts that explain the phenomena being studied.
The primary purpose of the theoretical framework is to provide a lens for interpreting the data and understanding the results.
The focus of the theoretical framework is on the underlying theories and concepts that explain the phenomena being studied.
The theoretical framework guides the development of the study's methodology and data analysis.
