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.

Conceptual Framework

  • The conceptual framework is different from the theoretical framework in that it is more broad and encompasses multiple theories and concepts.
  • The conceptual framework differs from the theoretical framework in terms of scope, as it is more general and covers a broader range of topics.
  • The conceptual framework differs from the theoretical framework in terms of the number of theories presented, as it typically includes multiple theories.
  • The conceptual framework helps justify the research methodology and design.

Role of Learning Theories

  • Learning theories play a role in the theoretical framework by providing a lens for understanding the phenomena being studied.

Developing a Research Framework

  • Theoretical frameworks are typically developed after understanding the variables included in a study and their relationship with one another.
  • The step in choosing and developing a research framework involves looking for possible theories that may potentially account for the expected results of the research topic.

Role of Frameworks in Research

  • Both the theoretical and conceptual frameworks provide a clear direction and focus for the research study.
  • According to Barrot (2017, p. 73), after understanding the variables included in a study and their relationship with one another, the next step is to develop a conceptual framework that outlines the relationships between the variables.
