    Study Notes

    Conceptual Framework

    • Illustrates the research plan's structure and guides the study's focus.
    • Explains the hypothesized relationships among various research variables.

    Theoretical Framework vs. Conceptual Framework

    • Theoretical Framework: Provides a theory-based foundation, often applied in studies analyzing social phenomena.
      • Example: Utilizing Attachment Theory to explore Parent-child Relationships.
    • Conceptual Framework: Offers a flexible structure that may include various theories; often used in exploratory research.
      • Example: Merging theories of Motivation and Learning Styles to study optimal learning strategies.

    Common Examples of Conceptual Framework

    • Independent Variable - Dependent Variable Model (IV-DV): Depicts the relationship between independent and dependent variables of a study.
    • Input - Process - Output Model (IPO): Illustrates the study's approach by categorizing elements as Input (independent variable), Process (tools), and Output (outcome).

    Research Hypotheses

    • Represent logical assumptions or educated conjectures formed from a comprehensive literature review.

    Types of Hypothesis

    • Null Hypothesis (H₀): Assumes no relationship or effect exists between variables; accepted until proven otherwise.
    • Alternative Hypothesis (H₁/Hₐ): Proposes a relationship or effect between variables, opposing the null hypothesis.

    Definition of Terms

    • Clear definitions of terms as used in a specific study.
    • Types of Definitions:
      • Theoretical: Universal definitions, typically sourced from dictionaries, with a general understanding.
      • Operational: Definitions specific to the study at hand.

    Review of Related Literature / Literature Review

    • Summarizes published work on a specific topic, ideally focusing on recent articles (last 5 years).
    • Connects research to current global conditions.
    • Investigates relationships with prior research.
    • Assesses the accuracy and relevance of research questions.
    • Choose a reference style.
    • Establish research priorities.
    • Narrow the review's scope.
    • Create a visual map of the literature.
    • Use reliable evidence, prioritizing valid citations.
    • Be selective, focusing only on crucial points from sources.
    • Limit direct quotes; aim to paraphrase effectively.
    • Summarize and synthesize findings while maintaining your own voice.
    • Avoid unrelated or secondary sources and ensure comprehensive examination.
    • Plagiarism: Involves claiming others' ideas without credit; types include:
      • Verbatim, Paraphrasing, Mosaic, Self, and Global Plagiarism.
    • Citation: Indicates sources of information to readers.
    • Citation Styles:
      • MLA Style: Format varies depending on the number of authors.
      • APA Style: Citation includes author, year, and page references, adapted based on the number of authors.
    • In-text Citation: Properly credits sources within the text for accuracy.
