Understanding Theoretical Frameworks

This document discusses theoretical and conceptual frameworks. A theoretical framework explains theories that serve as the foundation of a study, such as cognitive learning theory, behaviorism, constructivism, and motivation theories. A conceptual framework is a visual representation of expected relationships between variables. The document provides examples of conceptual frameworks, such as the IV-DV model and IPO model. It also explains how to write theoretical and conceptual frameworks by examining key variables, reviewing literature, and discussing the relationship between theories and the study.
