EXPLORE
As you begin writing your research project, you must consider the framework that is suitable for your
study. What is a research framework? A research framework illustrates the structure or blueprint of
the research plan and helps the researcher formulate relevant research questions. The framework
consists of the key concepts and assumes relationships of the research project. It is normally used
as a guide for researchers so that they are more focused on the scope of their studies. It can be
presented using visual (diagrams, chart, etc.) and narrative (paragraph stating the concepts and
relationships of the study) forms.
EXPLAIN
Theoretical and Conceptual Framework
The types of research frameworks are classified as the theoretical and conceptual frameworks. A
theoretical framework is commonly used for studies that anchor on time tested theories that relate
the findings of the investigation to the underpinning relevant theory of knowledge. At the same time,
a conceptual framework refers to the actual ideas, beliefs, and tentative theories that specifically
support the study. It is primarily a conception or model of what is out there that the researcher plans
to study.
Concept Map
A concept map is a visual representation of information that helps show the relationship between
ideas. Concept maps begin with the main topic and then branch out into sub-topics, reflecting the
connection of all the elements in the study. It can also provide and organize new ideas.
It is composed of different figures such as lines, circles, boxes, and other marks or symbols which
represent the elements of your research. It can take the form of charts, graphic organizers, tables,
flowcharts, Venn Diagrams, timelines, or T-charts. Concept map arranges related ideas in a
hierarchy. You start broad, and the sub-topics will get more and more specific. It also helps you in
formulating a specific topic from the general or the main idea with significant connections of
information. In other words, understanding the big picture makes the details more significant and
easier to comprehend.
Concept maps are very useful for researchers and readers who understand better visually. With the
proper connection of lines and linking arrows to shapes and other symbols representing your
concepts about the research, the readers can visualize a comprehensive picture of your study.
However, in the concept map, you are not yet actually researching your study. It is developing or
creating your plan or blueprint so that you will be guided on the flow and direction of your research
study. And that includes your research questions, variables, and methodology. It means that you are
just gathering and soliciting ideas on what you could learn about your chosen topic.
Before creating your conceptual framework, you have to understand first the different variables of
your study. Although these were already discussed in the previous module for the purpose of
utilizing it in your framework, an in-depth concept is a need.
The independent variable is the “presumed cause” of the research problem. It is the reason for any
“change” or difference in a dependent variable. It can be purposely manipulated by the researcher,
depending on the focus of the study. It maybe can cause, influence, or affect the result or outcome
of the study. It is also called as the experimental, treatment, antecedent, or predictor variable.
Moreover, it refers to the variable that is stable and unaffected by the other variables you are trying
to measure.
The dependent variable is the “presumed effect” of the research problem. It is usually the problem
itself or the element that is being questioned. This variable is altered as a result of experimental
manipulation of the independent variable or variables. It is also called as the criterion, effect,
response, or outcome variable which captures the interest of the researcher and requires analysis,
interpretation, and implication of the findings of the study. The variable that depends on other factors
that are measured and are affected or influenced by the independent variable.
The moderating variable is an independent variable which influences the direction and the strength
of the connection between independent and dependent variables. The independent variable
interacts with the moderator variable, which makes the relationship of the independent and
dependent variable stronger or weaker. It alters the effect that an independent variable has on a
dependent variable base on its value. The moderator thus influences the effective component of the
cause-effect relationship between the two variables. This is also called as the interaction effect.
Mediating variable or Intervening variable is an element that exists between the independent to
the dependent variable. A mediator (or mediating) variable is an integral part of the cause-effect
relationship and helps us to understand the effects of the independent variable on the dependent
variable. It is a variable that describes the effect and influence of the relationship between the
variables and what is controlling that relationship. This is also called as correlated or mediator
variables
The control variable is a special type of independent variable that can influence the dependent
variable. It takes an active role in quantitative studies. Statistical procedures are used to control this
variable. It is useful to integrate the control variables into your research study, but it is not the main
focus. It has somehow an effect on the dependent variable and an extension of the independent
variable. However, if you omit the control variable from your study, the findings would be less
accurate. It is mostly relevant if your study is about to prove a cause-effect relationship by
undertaking statistical analysis.
This conceptual framework shows the independent and dependent variables of the study. It is
presumed that the greater number of hours a student prepares for the exam, the higher would be
the expected academic performance.
Perfect!
Precisely.
EVALUATE
Directions: Base on the knowledge and understanding that you have gained from the previous
examples and activities, you have now captured the idea on how to make a conceptual
framework from the research title. With this, you are now given the framework, and you need to
formulate the research title according to the elements and factors that are present in the
variables. Write your answers in the box provided below.
EXTEND
Assignment
Write your answer on a one whole sheet of paper.
Build a Framework. Create an initial research framework for your research study. Consider the
relationship between the concepts and variables in your research. Then, draw a concept map
representing this relationship visually. Use the space below for your answer, or you may use a
separate paper if the space provided is not enough.
