What is a conceptual framework? How do you prepare one? This article defines the meaning of conceptual framework and lists the steps on how to prepare it. A simplified example is added to strengthen the reader’s understanding.
In the course of preparing your research paper as one of the requirements for your course as an undergraduate or graduate student, you will need to write the conceptual framework of your study. The conceptual framework steers the whole research activity. The conceptual framework serves as a “map” or “rudder” that will guide you towards realizing the objectives or intent of your study.
What then is a conceptual framework in the context of empirical research? The next section defines and explains the term.
Definition of Conceptual Framework
A conceptual framework represents the researcher’s synthesis of literature on how to explain a phenomenon. It maps out the actions required in the course of the study given his previous knowledge of other researchers’ point of view and his observations on the subject of research.
In other words, the conceptual framework is the researcher’s understanding of how the particular variables in his study connect with each other. Thus, it identifies the variables required in the research investigation. It is the researcher’s “map” in pursuing the investigation.
As McGaghie et al. (2001) put it: The conceptual framework “sets the stage” for the presentation of the particular research question that drives the investigation being reported based on the problem statement. The problem statement of a thesis presents the context and the issues that caused the researcher to conduct the study.
The conceptual framework lies within a much broader framework called theoretical framework. The latter draws support from time-tested theories that embody the findings of many researchers on why and how a particular phenomenon occurs.
Step by Step Guide on How to Make the Conceptual Framework
Before you prepare your conceptual framework, you need to do the following things:
- Choose your topic. Decide on what will be your research topic. The topic should be within your field of specialization.
- Do a literature review. Review relevant and updated research on the theme that you decide to work on after scrutiny of the issue at hand. Preferably use peer-reviewed and well-known scientific journals as these are reliable sources of information.
- Isolate the important variables. Identify the specific variables described in the literature and figure out how these are related. Some abstracts contain the variables and the salient findings thus may serve the purpose. If these are not available, find the research paper’s summary. If the variables are not explicit in the summary, get back to the methodology or the results and discussion section and quickly identify the variables of the study and the significant findings. Read the TSPU Technique on how to skim efficiently articles and get to the important points without much fuss.
- Generate the conceptual framework. Build your conceptual framework using your mix of the variables from the scientific articles you have read. Your problem statement serves as a reference in constructing the conceptual framework. In effect, your study will attempt to answer a question that other researchers have not explained yet. Your research should address a knowledge gap.
Example of a Conceptual Framework
Statement number 5 introduced in an earlier post titled How to Write a Thesis Statement will serve as the basis of the illustrated conceptual framework in the following examples.
Thesis statement: Chronic exposure to blue light from LED screens (of computer monitors and television) deplete melatonin levels thus reduce the number of sleeping hours among middle-aged adults.
The study claims that blue light from the light emitting diodes (LED) inhibit the production of melatonin, a hormone that regulates sleep and wake cycles. Those affected experience insomnia; they sleep less than required (usually less than six hours), and this happens when they spend too much time working on their laptops or viewing the television at night.
Notice that the variables of the study are explicit in the paradigm presented in Figure 1. In the illustration, the two variables are 1) number of hours devoted in front of the computer, and 2) number of hours slept at night. The former is the independent variable while the latter is the dependent variable. Both of these variables are easy to measure. It is just counting the number of hours spent in front of the computer and the number of hours slept by the subjects of the study.
Assuming that other things are constant during the performance of the study, it will be possible to relate these two variables and confirm that indeed, blue light emanated from computer screens can affect one’s sleeping patterns. (Please read the article titled “Do you know that the computer can disturb your sleeping patterns?” to find out more about this phenomenon) A correlation analysis will show whether the relationship is significant or not.
e-Book on Conceptual Framework Development
Due to the popularity of this article, I wrote an e-Book designed to suit the needs of beginning researchers. This e-Book answers the many questions and comments regarding the preparation of the conceptual framework. I provide five practical examples based on existing literature to demonstrate the procedure.

I am having difficulties in a certaining my conceptual framework, my topic is ‘The interplay between indemnity and subrogation in eliminating unjust enrichment in insurance contracts”
Dear Gel Paza.
The first step is to understand what variables are.Next is to identify which one affects the other.This will enable you Identify the dependent and independent variables.Take for example level of income and level of domestic expenditure.Here the variables are level of INCOME and Level of Expenses.If an increase in level of income results in to an increase in expenses,then level of expenses depends on level of income and level of expenses will thus be Dependent variable .Level of income will be the independent variable.
Basically, independent variables are not affected by other variables. Instead, they affect dependent variables. Eg sex, age, condom use etc. On the other hand, dependent variables are affected or caused by other variables. Eg, STIs. To give an example; the more you practise unprotected sex, the higher the chances of contracting STIs.

-“Your” Group of Students
My research is on students perception on instructional materials used in teaching…what will be my conceptual framework?
Dear Jonathan, your dependent variable is student perception whatever way you want to measure it and your independent variables are the instructional materials used. Just make sure these variables are measurable. Refer back to the article or read the article on variables: https://simplyeducate.me/2012/10/22/what-are-examples-of-variables-in-research/
Hello sir, please am a beginner in writing theis and I need help regarding my conceptual framework. Am looking at impacts of climate change on poverty, the place of women. Am so confused please assist me. Thanks
Hi sir I’m a beginner of this thesis and please help. I could understand what is my conceptual framework. My topic is Effectiveness of Career Guidance Orientation to Secondary Students. How can I write a conceptual framework about it?
Dear Isnairah, have you followed the steps in this article? Which part do you find difficult to follow?
I follow the step Sir but I was confused if my conceptual framework is right. Thank you for the article
Dear Isnairah, it appears to me that you have not yet reviewed the literature well enough to define your conceptual framework. The objective of your study must be clear.
Dear Patrick, My research question is on ‘Performance Management and Personal Learning and Development: Does Feedback Received During Performance Discussion Promote Learning and Career Development?’
From reading the above, I understand that my independent variables would be the aspecs or items that will contribute towards employee seeking learning/career development, e.g. quality of feedback, supervisor support, org culture, self-motivation to learining etc and my dependent variable would then be actual learning and career development that the person engaged in. Please advise. Thanks and regards,

Hi Sir Patrick, I just wanna ask how to create RRL, if my study is a correlation ?
Dear Ella, you start off with a topic, not a correlation right away.
Sir, I am one of your reader on site and I am thankful for luckily browsing this site for I am too much worried about my thesis.I don’t know how to construct my conceptual framework.my thesis title is extent participation of Department of agrarian reform in the infrastructure projects of sultan kudarat.can you help me identify my dependent and independent variables?
hi can you also help me. my research is about the role of social media on evolution of fandom into fanaticism… what could be a good conceptual framework for this? pls.
Dear Mark, you may be considering the relationship between social media exposure and a measure of quality of being fanatical. If that is the case, then your dependent variable is social media exposure and the dependent variable is the quality of being fanatical. Read the types of variables for further information on how to measure them: https://simplyeducate.me/2012/10/22/what-are-examples-of-variables-in-research/

beautiful, I am helped a great deal. Mine is not an academic proposal but a proposal of Home based care for Non Communicable Diseases cases. I therefore think my proposed interventions are independent variable and my specific goals being dependent variables, not sure though.
Dear Rabilo, what you intend to do is to provide an intervention, and that is home based care. Maybe what you want to know is if people prefer this as an option for patients who have non-communicable diseases. Thanks for your feedback.
hi, can you help me with my thesis ? it’s about Utilization of Multimedia Gadgets Specifically the Smart Phones during Class Hours. what will be my conceptual framework for that? thanks in advance.
please.
Hi can you help me with my thesis, just the conceptual framework and Theoretical please hehe my topic is all about How could managers use accounting knowledge in making better decisions.
Dear Apple and Mia, to develop your conceptual framework, as this article suggests, you will need to read relevant literature about your topic. I cannot do that for you. You need to read a lot to be familiar with current theories in your line of investigation. Just use the principles given here to guide you in developing your frameworks. The literature review should be done before you draw your conceptual framework as this will help you to become familiar with your research topic. You may read this article to guide you in writing your literature review: https://simplyeducate.me/2015/01/06/how-to-write-the-literature-review-4-steps/
hello this is a good article 🙂 but then im still confused. ;( my study is a proposal of a mobile commerce application based on the consumers wants and needs.
Dear Camille, you are confused because you are already offering a product without first asking what the consumers want and need. Backtrack and establish the facts first.
and also sir. Does conceptual framework and research paradigm mean the same?
Dear Camille, they are essentially the same. The research paradigm is just a diagrammatic representation of the conceptual framework to illustrate the relationships between variables.
Pls I need your help
Dear Zulaiha, what help do you need?
I really like your article.intact is the best
Hi Sir! Good day. I find it interesting and useful. Can I ask you something? What would be our conceptual framework if our topic is about tourism student?
Dear Jeyca, you have to be clear first on what you intend to study. What is it that you want to understand about the tourism student? Find a good research topic. Read this article for your guidance: https://simplyeducate.me/2015/06/20/10-guide-questions-on-how-to-identify-a-good-research-topic/
Good Day Sir! I would like to ask what would be our conceptual framework if our topic is Levels of Temperament, Aggressive Behavior and Stress of Commuters Experiencing Heavy traffic in EDSA. I’m slightly confused but anything would be much appreciated sir, thanks in advance.
Dear Jester, I believe that what you intend to do is to see how the commuter’s perception of traffic in EDSA influences his/her attitude such as level of temperament, aggressive behavior, and level of stress however you want these variables measured. People vary in their perception of things so that perception will be your dependent variable. The attitude factors mentioned are independent variables. If you have a better measure of traffic such as the waiting time of commuters at the MRT or LRT stations, then I believe that would be a better measure.
Hello! I just want to ask what would be my conceptual framework if my topic is about ebook and textbook. Please help me with this. Thank you in advance!
Dear Mimi, your topic is too general. What do you want to do about ebooks and textbooks?
We want to know which is better to use? Is it e-book or textbook among IT students. Thank you!
Patric can I get ur email for an assistance
I see, you should make a comparison between IT students using ebooks and those using textbooks as reference or teaching materials. Your dependent variable will be their academic performance, say their exam score or grade in the subject where the textbook/ebook is used. But of course you have to define the difference between textbook and ebook because an ebook could be a textbook. Maybe what you mean by textbook is a printed reference material. And there should be a basis (review of literature) that serves as the theoretical framework of your study. For example, literature or theory explaining why ebooks are better than textbooks or vice-versa.
Hi can you also help me; my research is all about the natural insect repellent, what could be a good conceptual framework for this? pls….
Hello, I have troubles on my framework. My topic is “A comparison between the content analyses of selected campus paper;s editorial on the Papal Visit: Basis for a proposed editorial policy guide”. Please help me identify the framework. Thank you!
Dear Audrey, you will need to define clearly the objectives of your comparison. Why do you want to compare the editorial content of selected campus papers in the first place? Editorials are the authors’ viewpoints on the Papal Visit. Shall those viewpoints be subject to editorial policy? Is there a need to subject editorial content to some kind of policy? I hope these questions will somehow bring you towards the development of your framework.
hey sir can you help me to make a conceptual framework my topic is about factors affecting structures(like buildings dams, brigdes etc) to be easily destroyed….
Dear gee fox, I suggest you specify which type of pressure causes structure damage. For example, would you like to study the resistance of buildings to earthquakes? Go down further and narrow down your variables for you to develop your conceptual framework. See this example: http://www.earthquakespectra.org/doi/abs/10.1193/1.1585778

Dear Alhussen, you need clearly state your problem statement first. And before you do that, you need to make observations and see what others have done about the issue you want to investigate on.
Good afternoon,
Sorry to bother you – excellent article and you are very kind helping others. I’ve tried to get answers from what you have told others but as this is the first conceptual framework I have put together, I’m struggling. My dissertation is on the impact that Wellbeing has on company performance.
Q1: Am I right in thinking that we only include the factors that will be discussed in the dissertation (ie, if I am not looking at external factors, I don’t include it in my framework? Or do I acknowledge that they are there?)
Q2: Would I be correct to start with impacts on Wellbeing (single arrow towards it) then have arrows out of Wellbeing with the benefits (reduced turnover, customer satisfaction etc). From those benefits, single arrows point to company performance? So research will look to prove all the links I have made in the middle (i.e. Customer NPS for increased satisfaction)
I hope that makes sense and you can help.
Thank you!
Dear Jordan, here are my answers based on my understanding of your proposed study:
Question 1: There are many studies done on the impact of well-being on employee performance (e.g. less absenteeism, passionate work attitude, etc.). And of course, you have to define what you mean by well-being here, to make it measurable. It may be context or non-context specific. Before coming up with your conceptual framework, you should come up with an argument (your thesis) based on your review of related literature. Which among those factors you studied appear to be well grounded? Hence, it is you who will determine which specific variables you will examine given your scope and limitations. There are many factors that influence company performance, but which ones really matter? The findings of other authors serve as your guide.
Question 2: Your question is a bit tricky as I may misunderstand your explanation. My understanding of your description looks like this:
–>Impacts on Wellbeing–>Benefits (turnover, etc.)–>Company performance
It seems that you are not clear of your unit of analysis, i.e., will you examine the individuals in that company or will you examine the company as an organization? Is there such thing as company well-being? Do you have a way to measure it? If your focus is not the organization but the individuals that compose it, then your dependent variable should be employee performance. By the way, how will you measure impact if it is part of your framework? Probably what you mean is:
Well-being (benefits such as job-related factors that affect well-being) –> Employee performance (e.g. job performance)
Well, this can really be lengthy. I hope that somehow helps you.

sir may you send me conceptual fram work of the topic analysis of problems faced by teacher in teaching where as my variables are teacher pupil methidology and intuctional material material
Research Title: The employed residents of Branggay Polomolok, Columbio, Sultan Kudarat on their level of Job Satisfaction and Dole on their satisfaction with the performance of the employed residents
Research Questions
Is the health care benefits of the employed residents enough?
Is the rent of 12 thousand per year and per hectare enough for them?
Is the salary of the employed residents enough for living?
Is Dole, as the employer, satisfied on the performance of the employed residents?
Research Objectives
If the research shows that both parties are satisfied with what each are doing, then the paper may suggest ways to maintain a good relationship between them.
If the research shows that Dole is satisfied and the residents are not, the paper will suggest ways that Dole could do to increase the level of satisfaction of the employed residents
If the research shows that the residents are satisfied and Dole is not, the paper will suggest ways for the employed residents to give better service.
Research Problem Statement
Determine whether or not the residents are satisfied with the benefits given by Dole and are they satisfied with their Job, do they feel that they are fit for the job, and is the salary enough. I would also like to determine if Dole is satisfied with the performance given by the residents they have employed.
i don’t have yet my conceptual framework
Dear Amirah, that’s a good study. Job satisfaction has many dimensions. Just focus on some variables which you can measure in your study and put them in your conceptual framework as your independent variables that influence job satisfaction as dependent variable. You may then use job satisfaction as the independent variable to predict work performance as dependent variable (as Dole rates it). For example, company wage rates –>job satisfaction –> job performance
I hope that helps.
Hello sir will you help me to identify my dependent and independent variable is? My research title is “EMERGENCY FUEL FOR SPARK IGNITION INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES USING HYDROGEN GAS SPLITTED FROM WATER” THANK YOU

Dear NSin, you should have a clear objective to guide you in your study. I can see two things in your proposed study. You would want to know 1) teachers perception of peace, perhaps their explanations on what it is and its utility, and 2) how teachers demonstrate or practice peace. These two things will serve as your guide in doing the literature review for you to come up with your conceptual framework.
I hope that helps.
Hello!!
This is very helpful but still i’ve got some questions and i do hope you can help me. I’m at a point in my undergraduate studies where i’ve been asked to do a conceptual framework. I just need to know whether the literature review forms part of the framework or not?
Moreover, would you be able to guide me in finding the variables in this problem definition:
-Challenges of knowledge management in the crew department of the airline industry.
Research objectives are: key issues concerning KM and knowledge gap between ground staff, crew and clients.
Thank you.
Dear Ash, the literature review serves as your scaffolding to build your conceptual framework. Without supporting evidence provided by literature, your conceptual framework shall be mainly guesswork.
Your problem centers on airline employees’ efficient use of information to serve their customers. I hope that helps.
Dear Patrick, my topic thesis is: FACTORS INFLUENCING THE CHOICE OF BRAND PEPSI in ASIA. May you help me to construct the conceptual framework?
Dear Shu, if you have read the example, you can easily prepare a conceptual framework for your concern. It’s simply discussing the factors that influence customer’s preference of a softdrink brand, not PEPSI, as that would be leading.
Hi I have a problem on my conceptual frame work I need your help my topic is “to examine the adoption of e_procurement in public sector”.
Dear Patrick, pls assist me with d variables of this topic : Islamic Home Financing through Ijarah wa iqtina (Lease ending with ownership): A case study of Jaiz bank in Nigeria.
Tnx 4 helping ppl!
Dear Usama, what do you want to know? What is your study’s objective?
As d topic suggest, to find out how house can be acquired conveniently through instalment payment according to d Islamic law ( I.e devoid of interest, uncertainty, gambling, etc).
Tnx 4 responding!
Thanks Patrick!
May God reward u!
If it’s a case study, you will just have to describe the system or assess its efficacy by asking how much people are willing to pay as installment and for how long they should do it. The desired amount of payment will vary for individuals and the average will show the majority’s preference.
I hope that helps.
Dear sir,. I want to conduct an action research. Please help me to construct a conceptual framework. My topic is ” Enhancing pupils’ achievement in mathematics using exemplary Lesson study. Thank you.

Also can you tell me any specific tool to create Research paradigm.
Thanks in advance,

Dear Pretha, thanks for visiting Simplyeducate.me. I have the impression that you are still confused on what to do. But it is clear that you want to know how gambling affects society. I think this article can help you build your conceptual framework: https://www.problemgambling.ca/EN/AboutGamblingandProblemGambling/Pages/TheEffectsOfGambling.aspx
hello sir, my study is about Drug use among university and college students. would you please give me an idea of what my framework would be?
thanks
Dear Agnneta, you can have the profile (age, gender, course, etc.) of the students as your independent variables and drug use indicator (e.g. drug residuals in blood) as the dependent variable. I hope that helps.
Hello sir, am researching on determinants of human welfare:emphasis on non-income indicators of welfare. How do I construct my conceptual framework? And please clarify the difference between conceptual framework and theoretical framework. Thanks
Dear Austine, your dependent variable is human welfare which is quite broad. Narrow it down into measurable variables such as quality of life indicators like access to services, diet, human development index (HDI), housing, among others. Your independent variable could be something like a government conditional grants to the poorest of the poor. I hope that will help you get started.
Thanks so much sir, i have chosen mortality rate, life expectancy and literacy rate as my dependent variables, while explanatory variables are government pro-poor spending, urbanization growth, foreign aid . I want to regress each of those dependent variables on the explanatory variables. My challenge is finding an appropriate theory and constructing a conceptual framework.
Dear Austine, I think I missed your other request: the difference between the theoretical and conceptual framework. I wrote about it in another site: https://college-college-life.knoji.com/what-is-the-difference-between-the-theoretical-framework-and-the-conceptual-framework/

Hi Patrick. Thanks for the article. I need a conceptual framework for a research titled: The level of awareness and utilization of ICT for Mathematics instruction.

Good day Sir Patrick. My thesis is about the poor performance of the students in Mathematics . I would like to let the students undergo the Enhancement Program which i will prepare so that their performance in mathematics will improve. What will be the best conceptual framework for this? thank you in advance Sir Patrick. God bless!
Dear Edgar, you intend to compare the performance of students in Mathematics before and after the enhancement program that you propose. So your framework should show both performance in Mathematics with your intervention in the middle.

Sir, I have a little challenge which I need your assistance ASAP. I have a basic education issue in my state which has affected learning outcome (student performance) but literary and numerically. This is so disheartening and thus shows a high decline in quality of basic education in my state. I now decide to develop an intervention framework to help address the issue and improve the quality of basic education in my state.
The challenge is:
1. What type of framework is that?
2. How do I go about it?
N/B: There is a report on the decline in literacy and numeracy in my state which shows the decline in quality in basic education, and I’m developing this framework based on that report.
Thank you.

Good day, I read your article with keen interest and is of help to me. Please sir I need your assistant. My research topic is “Analysis and the impact of foreign made goods on Nigeria market”. Please what will be my “Conceptua Issues”. Expecting to hear from you. Thanks.
With much greetings and respect. I am glad to read your article. This is the first time that I came across with the well elucidated article about conceptual framework. May God bless you and increase you more wisdom and courage. I am deeply and profoundly grateful to you. Although, I will like you to help me to illustrate the conceptual framework of my research topic. Actually, I am writing on Ibn Khaldun’s Concept of Umran. So please how I suppose to write my conceptual framework base on the concept. Thank you very much. I will be so happy if I quickly hear from you.
what would be the conceptual framework if the topic is ‘perception of college instructors toward faculty evaluation as basis for performance appraisal’? please help me, thanks!
Dear Everyone, I have illustrated to you the step-by-step guide. Which portion would you like me to explain more? I plan to write a more extensive one detailing it further if you can guide me which portion you find difficult. I thought that you should be able to write your conceptual framework after reading this article.
The rule is: if you are not quite familiar with your research topic, read more about the topic and discern your unit of analysis. Explore the voluminous literature available in free scientific databases like Google Scholar, Directory of Open Access Journals, among others.
I hope that helps.
Good day Sir Patrick. Perhaps you can explain more on what are the things or variables should be considered in the conceptual framework or do we need to include all variables found in the research title and specific questions? and how to arrange them or the sequence. Thanks for the help to all of us.
Dear Edgar, it’s you as a researcher who should define that based on your literature review. You just have to look at your objectives. What do you intend to do and what variables are important that would help you understand the phenomenon at hand? If your study is about students’ performance in Mathematics, then by all means, use Mathematics as your dependent variable. And Mathematics performance is determined by say: sex, genes, interest in the subject, among others. These are your independent variables.
Well said Sir Patrick. Thanks for enlightening us.

Dear Aira,
Two days before your post i requested the same type of question i think difference is just a title and i get response from Mr. Regoniel. he responded just as below i think if your read the notes about variables (Independent, Intervening and Dependent variables) under that link, i think may help you a little bit but try to read more literature especially and try to see how do they figured out thier conceptual framework based on their tittle.
thanks.
“I have posted an earlier article describing the independent and independent variables. You may refer to it here: https://simplyeducate.me/2012/10/22/what-are-examples-of-variables-in-research/“
Yes Aira, it works similarly. If there is a cause, there is an effect. Stimulus causes response.
Dear sir,
please help me identify the variables and the conceptual framework on the topic
“Basic School Teachers Experience and Perception about In -service Training Programmes”.
Dear Enyonam, this article is meant to help you out. Did you follow the steps?

Hi there,
I am studying teacher attitudes about implementing practical work in sciece education. I am using Social constructivism as my theoretical framework, but as yet am unsure of the conceptual framework. Any help you could give me would be great. Thank you
Dear Jacqui, your unit of analysis are teachers. So your focus shall be on their attitudes and science education implementation. So how do you propose to measure these factors? That should shed light on your conceptual framework.
Hi Sir
My topic is: The role of radio in changing parental attitudes towards education: The case study of X-K FM in Platfontein. What is my conceptual framework, dependent and independent variables? Thanks.
Dear Dumezweni, which factor affects another factor? Of course we know that information can change people’s attitudes, and radio can do so. Do you think you need to do research on that? What matters here is how parents regard the information that they have received through the radio.
Good day, sir. The topic of our research is The Effects of Internet Usage to thr Academic Performance of the grade 11 students. The independent variable is effects of internet usage, the dependent variable is academic performance and the moderator is gender. Please help me how to explain this, sir. Can you explain how the effects of internet usage became the independent variable and how the academic performance became the dependent variable? I hope you can help me sir, thank you in advance.
Dear Mary, you may read this article so you will understand the difference between dependent and independent variables: https://simplyeducate.me/2012/10/22/what-are-examples-of-variables-in-research/
Good day Sir. In constructing my conceptual framework, do I need to use the whole model of the theoretical framework or can I leave behind some parts of the theoretical framework? Thank you. More power.
Dear Gen, you develop your own conceptual framework so this must be different from your theoretical framework which is general in nature. It is the implementation of the theoretical framework. Read this: https://college-college-life.knoji.com/what-is-the-difference-between-the-theoretical-framework-and-the-conceptual-framework/
Hello, I so much love this explanation about conceptual framework..Thanks for sharing. Alright here is my question. I’m writing on Effect Of External Debt on Economic Growth in my Country. Having gone through some journal I discovered that variables used in measuring External Debt are: inflation, external debt, Exchange rate and many more while variable used in measuring Economic growth is GDP. Can we then say my dependent variable is GDP or Economic growth and independent variable(s) is inflation, exchange rate or EXTERNAL DEBT itself? Pls what’s my conceptual framework? Thanks for your reply in advance.
Dear Rommy, indeed GDP is determined by several factors. If you can access the methodology section of your literature, perhaps you can find an equation that predicts GDP using a set of factors. You are dealing with an issue that requires multivariate analysis. You may read this article: https://simplyeducate.me/2013/09/09/an-introduction-to-multiple-regression/
Great piece of info.i am looking into the health related quality of life of patients living with ostomy.there is already a model on quality of life.it fits so well with my topic.can I just take it n explain it as my conceptual framework?is my dependent variable quality of life?n independent patients wish ostomy?thanks in advance
Dear Aisha, if there is already a model and it fits your needs then you can try it. Perhaps, along the way, you can deviate a little if you believe there is a need in your own context. Models are not perfect.
Good day sir! having difficulty searching theoretical framework on ICT Integration of Teachers, i already have one but my adviser told me to look for others since the theory is commonly used.

hi sircan you help me with my thesis?its all about the impact of technology in character development of Grade III pupils what will be my conceptual framework for that? thanks in advance.
REPLY
Dear Myllbeth, you have to be specific on what kind of technology you mean here. Also, what character are you referring to? Narrowing your topic down into variables that can be measured can help you come up with your workable conceptual framework.
Hi sir jonathan… My Topic is about a effectiveness of the Value-meal product and Services of McDonald’s Corporation to the all customers. What would be the conceptual framework? thankyou so much sir!^_^

Hello, I cannot discern my independent variable and dependent variable in my thesis. The title of my thesis is Counseling Services and Etiology of Learning Disabilities. Can you help me?
Dear Gel, you can start off by reviewing the literature about the causes of learning disabilities.
Hello,I’m finding it difficult to design a conceptual framework for my thesis.My topic is ” The effect of grade retention on students’academic achievement”.Please help.
Dear Philip, what do you mean by grade retention? Is it measurable? If that’s measurable then that should be your independent variable and for academic achievement as your dependent variable, find a specific measure such as grade in English, or Math, or GPA, that you can measure.
Thanks a lot Patrick, grade retention in this context means holding a child in the same class for a longer time as their classmates are promoted to the next class as an academic intervention strategy.
how my conceptual framework would look like.if my topic is the effect of Mobile Money transfer on Telecommunication companies.
Dear Said, maybe you’d consider rephrasing your topic. I’ll ask you the question: Who are you interested in? Is it the telecommunications companies or is it the people who benefit from the services that the telecommunication companies offer such as money transfer? That will somehow guide you in your study.
hi sir. Thanks a lot for a very good article.
I need a help though. Our research study is titled “Factors affecting the budget of student.”. Regarding to that, what would be the most appropriate and intelligent conceptual framework for that.
Dear Doom, maybe what you mean by budget is the allowance of students? What is the objective of your study? What gap in knowledge do you want to address? Is it really that important that you study the budget of students? I could not see the significance of your study.
pls wat wud be the conceptual frame work for the topic…loan repayment in xyz rural bank ltd
Dear Embeng, what is your problem statement?
Hello sir. My research topic is “An analysis of some manuscripts of contemporary scholars of Maiduguri, Nigeria”. How would i go about the coceptual framework of the research. Thank you
Dear Umar, your topic is too general. What specific topics do you intend to look into? That will guide you in formulating your conceptual framework.
Wow this article on conceptual frame has become an eye opener into my conceptual frame which I was looking for,…thank you ,now I can proceed
Dear Eliud, I am happy to know you find this article helpful.
Hi sir. Can you please help me for making conceptual framework, research paradigm and even research hypothesis? My topic is all about internet cafe. Thanks in advance. 🙂
Dear Noreen, your topic is too general. What about internet cafe do you want to work on?
Hello Mr. Regional,
I would like to request your assistance… Does your book speak of SEM, to formally link variables when developing the framework? Is there a way to contact you?
Dear Genevieve, my surname is not Regional, but Regoniel. A good researcher must be keen. As for your question, I don’t know what you mean by SEM. My book on conceptual framework discusses how variables are interconnected. Five concrete examples are given. It’s in the description. You can always contact me using the contact form.
Hi sir, am doing a research on the following topic: An Analysis of the impact of ICTs on operational efficiency of the road freight transportation. What could be my conceptual framework?
Dear Peniya, narrow down further your topic. Based on your title, it is difficult to understand what you want to do.
yes sir, we already realized that our study is somehow absurd. Our adviser corrected it and come up with a similar and sensible study. “Factors affecting the consumption of monthly allowance of students.” We need now your help to make our conceptual framework. Thank you sir.
Dear Doom, your task now will be easy. Just find out the factors affecting the consumption of monthly allowance of students. But I think you should have a better objective, such as, finding out how students spend their allowance to understand students’ preferences or interests. The end in mind is to manage their spending patterns.
Great job.
Please I design the research paradigm using my own understanding of the research.
How do I reference it because my supervisor is asking me for the source? The design is out of my own initiative.
Thank you.
Dear Segun, for MS students, the standard is for you to read more or less 30 scientific articles to establish your case. Citing the references will be easy if you have read a lot of literature on your topic. See referencing guide here: http://www.apastyle.org/learn/quick-guide-on-references.aspx
Thanks Regoniel I pass through different explanations and I kindly give you a big thanks for the work that you are doing to help people. I am a masters students and my research title is ASSESSMENT ON THE INFLUENCE OF TIME MANAGEMENT ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN PUBLIC SECONDARY SCHOOLS. I request you to help me various recent articles from 2010 to 2016 that talking about time management and academic performance. Also, I request you t o help me on how to explain the conceptual framework like this Time-Learning-Time management-High/poor academic performance.
Dear David, you’re on the right track but you just need to make time management measurable. How do you intend to measure it?
As for your request, that’s part of the site’s services (see https://simplyeducate.me/services/) . That’s for a fee because search for literature takes considerable time to prepare; the same goes for conceptual framework preparation based on the literature review on your given topic.
Hi sir, am doing a research on the following topic: observational study to assess the knowledge regarding airway suctioning among CCU nurses. What could be my conceptual framework?
Dear Chumba, why do you want to study the airway suctioning anyway? My point is, what are you looking trying to study? Does it have something to do with training effectiveness in medical schools? What is your intention in doing the study? Airway suctioning is just one of the procedures to relieve patients of whatever obstruction there is along the respiratory system. Answers to these questions will help you build your conceptual framework.
And what do you mean by CCU? Is it Colorado Christian University?
Good Morning
I have just started working on my Master’s Thesis, title: ‘Can universal human rights exist in a multi-cultural world? A case study of female genital surgery’.
My supervisor has just recommended that I use a conceptual framework. This is my first research and I am not familiar with structural frameworks, hence my looking at your very informative site.
To make sure that I do not start off incorrectly please would you kindly advise me on how I would structure this dissertaion, for example which is the independent and which the dependent variable? I am not yet sure I have a full understanding. My kind regards
Good morning Sir Patric…can you help me for my conceptual framework?

Hi Patrick, kindly help me with my conceptual framework. My topic is “The Impact on Revenue Generation on Governmental Developmental efforts.”
Thanks a lot
Dear Ayo, how do you propose to measure impact? Did you make a baseline study before? And what developmental efforts do you refer to? That’s too broad. Just select a particular developmental effort. You can see detailed examples in my eBook on how to develop a Conceptual Framework.
Hi
I am also busy with my research and my topic is: the role of a freight forwarder in international trade and logistics in Namibia.

I had read your step by step guides on how to make my conceptual framework but still i donIdit know how to make my own conceptual because its my first time to venture research writing..my research title is: Indigenous student Reading Abilities:Bases for Development Reading Program.pleasehelp me identify my variables. I dont know how to start making mg conceptual framework..
Dear Jinky, I have written a more detailed discussion in the eBook “Conceptual Framework Development.” You may refer to the detailed examples there.
May you please help explaining to me what is the role/position of demographic variables in the research model/framework? And also its relationship to independent and dependent variables? I am new in social related research. I usually worked on engineering based experiment. I almost never used those definitions in my proposal. One of my hypotheses is “Safety and security of all-inclusive travel is better than of independent travel.”
In my framework:
Indepedent variable –> dependent variable
Safety and security –> type of travel
So where should I put demographic variables?
Dear Anita, your dependent variable is safety and security, it’s the other way around. Demographic variables appear to be inappropriate in your framework because your unit of analysis is not the individual but the travel agency? A backgrounder on your study would help clarify the issue.
Hello Patrick, I’d like to appreciate you for your effort and time in helping to tackle research challenges around the world. I’m an academic, Language Educationist. I have no challenge at the most. This is only to acknowledge your efforts. Well done!

Dear Lydia, bring down your job market and business graduates into measurable variables if you want to make a quantitative study. Have you followed the advice in the article? What portion do you find difficult?
Dear Lydia, it’s just the congruence between market demand and relevance of knowledge and skills of graduates.
hi! im just a student, and one of my pfoject is a thesis. im done writing my conceptual framework, I consult other teachers to know their opinion and ideas about my topic (Relationship between 4ps program and the academic performance of 4ps grantees in Essu Salcedo Campus) they say that my conceptual framework is ok, but my adviser told me that it’s not. he says that i should add more ideas, that it should be meaty, IM JUST A STUDENT and this is my first time making a thesis… Please i need an advice how can i overcome this one.
thank you.
#simplyeducateme:)
Dear Salvacion, perhaps your adviser would like you to have a good review of literature to clarify the relationship between 4Ps program and academic performance. What are measures or indicators of the 4Ps program that you want to correlate with academic performance? Are there features in the program that impact on academic performance? Also, you might want to compare academic performance before the 4Ps and after the 4Ps to see the impact of the program.

Can you help me? I wanted to know my conceptual framework entitled ” Grade-11 Student’s Experiences on ICT-based Learning”. ASAP, please. I need a reply because of the deadline.
Dear Mugiwara, that’s just a descriptive study. You don’t need a conceptual framework there.
hello sir,
my FYP title is ” Opportunistic Maintenance in Lean Manufacturing Culture” so what should i do sir ? what is the variable ? im a bit lost here
Dear Huha, that’s because you probably have not written your objective. What do you want to derive from your study? What can your research contribute to the body of knowledge?
Dear Mr. Patrick, I almost forgot about this but thank you for reply on December 21st. It was simply my mistake to put demographic attributes (age, gender, etc.) in my table of variables so my coach confused why they are not in the framework. I was just freaking out right away cause it’s just so basic.
If you don’t mind, can you help me again with my conceptual framework.
My research is to evaluate travel style A by comparing it to travel style B through the same attributes of both styles. So I want to prove style A attributes are better/have higher ratings than of style B. Some of the attributes are relaxation, social interaction, convenience.
My recent framework is:
relaxation style preference:
social interaction —> style A
convenience style B
What should I do to correct this?
Anyway, thank you again for your previous reply 🙂
I am sorry I missed your response for my concept earlier.
So the conceptual framework should be:
style preference (A vs. B) –> relaxation
style preference (A vs. B) –> social interaction
style preference (A vs. B) –> convenience
Is this correct?
So both are dependent variables and measure items are independent ones?
Dear Mr. Patrick, Can you help me to build my theoretical framework on ineffective appraisal system?

Good day, I really need your help about doing my conceptual framework about “factors affecting parasitic worm in 3-8 years old children”. I’m stuck doing this part
Dear Precy, thank you for visiting simplyeducate.me. You mentioned the variables in your statement. You just need to read literature or note down in your observations (if you are a health worker) those factors (as independent variables) that may influence the incidence of parasitic worm in 3-8 children (dependent variable). You could still narrow down the parasitic worms into a specific species (e.g. Ascaris lumbricoides).
Thank you so much!

Dear Albasu, I have explained the difference between the theoretical and the conceptual framework here: https://college-college-life.knoji.com/what-is-the-difference-between-the-theoretical-framework-and-the-conceptual-framework/. As for the empirical framework, it’s just a framework based on actual observation or experience as opposed to just pure logic.

Great article I actually understood this more than my supervisor explained. I was wondering in regards to a qualitative thesis on how the decision of brexit could affect inward fdi into the uk from EU. what would be my conceptual framework…somewhat stuck on this. Thank you.
Dear Nikki, you are looking into the difference between what has been the situation before and after Brexit’s decision. Thus, you need to see the difference between FDI before and after that decision. But of course, there may be other reasons for the change in FDI.

Hi,
My topic is on Children and climate change. I construct my thesis statement as; “Exposure to climate change impacts increases chances of contracting diseases thus reduces the social activity and school engagement among children 8 to 10 years old”.
I am not sure if this is okay? Appreciate your feedback
Thank you.
Dear Janet, that is okay but I think it would be better if you indicate what climate change indicator you would want to look into.
Hello, after reading your article I am still a bit confused on developing a conceptual framework. My research study is about the lack of risk management in project management. My thesis is performing effective project risk management contributes significantly to overall project success. I am thinking my dependent variable is the number of failed projects and my independent variable would be the number of projects that performed deliberate risk management as part of the creation of the project plan. Am I anywhere close here to a conceptual framework? Thanks in advance for your help.
Dear Don, your dependent variable is project performance (success or failure) while your dependent variable is adoption or non-adoption of risk management. But of course, you have to operationally define what is success or failure. Are you using indicators of success or failure?
Patrick…thanks for the reply. I think the the indicators would be over/under budget, behind/on/ahead of schedule, and to define failure…I would assume a project canceled prior to completion due to cost or schedule overruns. over/under budget and behind/on/ahead of schedule could be determined by using earned value management.
That sounds great! EVM is a more objective way of measuring project performance. You can then compare the EVM of those that adopted risk management and those that did not and see a difference.
What we write in the theoretical and conceptual framework is gonna be based on what is our independent and dependent variables?,
Dear Shinoa, your conceptual framework depends on your study’s objective.
Hi I’m Irish i would like to ask something what is my conceptual framework about this topic Carabao manure as a replacement for cement.

please tell me how to develop an implementation framework,
as the topic of my dissertation is developing a framework for implementation of csr in smes ?
also tell me what is a framework ?? is it necessary it to be a diagram or how to pen it down ??

Hello sir, my research is about “Poverty & Deprivation of basic needs in
Upper Egypt” and the research question is how does the unstable economic conditions nowadays affect the poor in this region. can you please help me and tell me how i identify the variables and what should the conceptual framework include in this case.
Dear A H Kady. I suggest you find a measure of economic condition to analyze your problem. Your title suggests a description of the situation in upper Egypt and I believe there is no need to come up with a conceptual framework where you will have independent and dependent variables. Perhaps your conceptual framework will just be a mind map of the situation in Upper Egypt.
Good day sir. Your article is quite enlightening. Please how do i catogorise the variables of my thesis topic: Biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles using plants extracts and assessment of their antitrypanosomal potential
Dear Habiba, your intention might be to see how the parasite Trypanosoma responds to silver nanoparticles. It must be a dose-response study. Thus, your dependent variable shall be the number of trypanosoma kills and your independent variable, the amount of silver nanoparticles (in ppm) required to achieve that effect. Read the following study to see how this works: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3719780/

Hello Dr. Patrick,
I bought the e-Book on Conceptual Framework Development.
(You sent a payment of $5.99 USD to Simplyeducate.me
(admin@simplyeducate.me)), but i could not open the doc.
thanks
Dr. Patrick,
It is an awesome article, however, I am somehow confused. What I know that we identify variables if we are doing a quantitative method. my question is do we have to identify variables even if our research study is qualitative?
Thank you
Dear Mr. Ali,
You’re right. Variables are units of the phenomenon that you would want to understand that needs to be measurable in the quantitative research approach. It defines your unit of analysis, that is, that which you are studying whether that is the individual, a group, a social organization, among others. In qualitative research, you dig down deeper than just numbers. For example, you study how a person thinks: his/her opinions, reasons, or motivations which need not be quantified. Qualitative studies can be used as basis for developing ideas or hypothesis that will be tested in quantitative research.
I hope that clarifies your concern. Thank you for visiting simplyeducate.me
I enjoyed reading your article. my problem is how to link the conceptual framework ” an exploration on the inhibitors of inclusive education. which one is the independent and the dependent variables?

Hello Sir,
Kindly Assist Insight To What Conceptual Framework Would Be For Topic: Assessment Of Spatial Distribution Of Telecoms Mast & ATM On Socio-Economic Growth

Hi Patrick
Its amazing how you take out time responding to everyone. Good job man. For my master’s program, my research topic is: “perception and practice of post-rape care among nurses….”
Independent variable here is: Perception, while
Dependent variable is Practice.
I assume that; what people do (practice) is a function of how they feel (perception).
Please, is this Ok? I’m i right?
Dear Enocan, you need to go further in narrowing your variables as perception and practice are still general terms. Can you make them measurable?

Dear Etiang, what do you intend to do?
hi, I am beginner.
my research is about “family values.” but I don’t know how to explain it to conceptual framework. I read the article but it seems I have no idea to do it. can you help me?
Dear Desserie, when you do research, you always have to be clear on what you want to resolve or what to do. Family values is too broad a topic to research on. Just identify one issue related to family values. In other words, you have to be specific by stating what you want to find out through research. For example, people throw garbage into the open cargo area of my pickup truck. I am curious what family values were inculcated in that person that made him or her throw trash into other people’s vehicle. There is a need to define family values and relate it to the act of throwing garbage. For a start, you may read this article: http://www.parentiq.com/news/DefiningYourFamilyValues.asp

My research objectives focuses on:
opportunities and challenges in using multimedia learning,
assessing the learning content developed in multimedia format
getting experiences of the learners in learning
assessing the benefits resulting from the learning and
seeking recommendations for scaling up and sustaining the project.

Greetings,
I have recently purchased the guide and it looks as though is the development process is not the same at the one required as per my assignment brief.
The brief requires me to identify variables, develop a conceptual framework using these variables, review the conceptual framework to decide on a focus area (identify the knowledge gap), and then conduct a literature review to find possible solutions in addressing the focus area.
Is there a systematic in going about developing a conceptual framework. I am more confused… Please advise.

Hi,
I’m looking for a conceptual framework example for “Why Farmers don’t use internet or social media to sell their crops”. Can you please tell me the variables I should use?
Thank you.
Dear Suki,
I believe you know a conceptual framework is derived following a specified theory that underpins a research work. The theory is also well described using a theoretical framework. And so, to develop a conceptual framework you first need to settle on a theory or theories that hold the problem your study seek to address. Then, you can follow the theoretical framework (which other researchers have proposed or developed) for your conceptual framework.
For your topic or problem: “Why Farmers don’t use internet or social media to sell their crops”, the main issue is about BEHAVIOUR and so any theory that relates to ‘behaviour’ can be reviewed and adopted. I would like to suggest ‘Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) proposed by Ajzen in 1988’; the Cognitive theory by Albert Bandura in 1925, and Rational choice theory by George Homas in 1961 to you. Wish you the best.
Thanks Sir, for the knowledge shared. It’ll help me with my post graduate research work.
Thank you for the knowledge shared. Your write-up has helped me understand the term very well.
Thankyou
