Study Notes
Guidelines for Research Study Framework
- Introduce the framework in the study's introduction
- Briefly explain why the chosen framework is suitable for the research problem area
Theoretical Framework
- Based on established theories
- Explains and predicts phenomena
- Often abstract, may not be visually represented
- More rigid, based on established knowledge
- Used in quantitative studies to test or develop theories
Conceptual Framework
- Created by the researcher
- Combines concepts from various sources
- Organizes and structures the study, highlighting relationships between variables
- Often visual (e.g., flowcharts, models)
- More flexible, evolving during the research process
- Guides data collection and analysis (both qualitative and quantitative)
Examples of Frameworks
- Social Media Impact on Adolescents: Social learning theory or cultivation theory
- Employee Motivation and Performance: Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory
- Child Development: Piaget's Theory of Cognitive Development
- Academic Achievement and Motivation: Intrinsic motivation, enjoyment of learning
- Organizational Performance and Leadership Style: Transformational leadership, employee engagement
