Understanding Conceptual FrameworkSystem of concepts, assumptions, ex-
pectations, beliefs and theories – sup-ports and informs
Relations with variables, concepts and key factors
Linked concepts- comprehensive under-standing (Jabareen, 2009)

graphical or narrativeUnderstanding of things you plan to
study

Purposes of Conceptual Framework

What Make Good Conceptual Framework
Outside the tradition – integrate differ-ent approaches, theories
Critical not just descriptiveConstructed , not foundYour understanding about the worldResearcher identity and experienceLinks with literature, research ques-
tions (www.authorstream.com)

Why Philosophical Paradigms
Clear about philosophical and method-ologies
Each embody different ideas about on-tology and epistemology
Justify your design decisions-theoryBuild on accepted theory
CHOOSING PARADIGMSUnderstand the themeAssessing which world is fit with youPreference of researchersCompatible with research questions,
methods

Modules to Construct Conceptual Framework
1. Your experiential knowledge Via Identity Memo, personal experi-
ence2. Prior theory and research
Theory is a “coat closet” Theory is a “spotlight”
3. Your pilot and exploratory research4. Thought experiments Helpful working on whiteboard or
computer programs

Use of Theory in Conceptual Framework
Theory: set of concepts, ideas, broader than its usual meaning; eg. rock
Why? roadmap, enlightenment, broaden understanding
How? existing theory, critical use of theory
‘Believing game’ and ‘doubting game’Develop, borrow an d test

Developing Concept Maps
1. Identify the key words – literature re-view
2. Take something you’ve already writ-ten – naming concept
3. Categorize and brainstorm4. Integrate and validating5. Ask someone and re-visit Don’t try to make you map too elegant

Specific forms of conceptual framework
Model can be: schematic or mathematical– Schematic model- conveys concepts and
propositions – boxes, arrows tree chart, or other symbols
– Mathematical: conveys concepts and propositions, through, letters, number, and mathematical symbols , ( Nalzaro, 2009)
– Mind Maps– Software system
(Vaughan, 2008)
