I. Title of Material/Introduction:
In the previous modules, you were able to present your research
questions together with the scope and delimitation of the study where you
determined the phenomenon and area to be studied and analyzed and those
which you will not consider. In this module, you will be required to illustrate
and explain conceptual framework. Activities are provided in order to
strengthen the mastery of the topic. You are also encouraged to submit any
outputs to your teacher depending on the agreed manner of submission. The
final outputs in this module are conceptual paradigm and framework.
II. Objectives:
Upon completion of this module, the learners are able to:
• illustrate and explain conceptual framework of the study.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK
First let us clarify things, conceptual framework and conceptual paradigm
pertains to one thing. Only that, in some references, the paradigm pertains to
the figure that would illustrate the framework. The illustrative representation of
the framework is the paradigm while the narrative discussion is the
framework. So, whether you use framework or paradigm, they just mean the
same.
It is said that a conceptual framework is the researcher’s idea on how the
research problem will have to be explored. It is used to illustrate what
researchers expect to find through research, including how the variables

relate to each other. Therefore, it is a must that you are able to correctly
identify the variables involved in your study. Dependent and independent
variables are the major concerns of conceptual frameworks. These must be
first identified. To create a paradigm, you need to consider the three
components. These are boxes, lines and arrows. Boxes means variables,
lines pertain to connection or correlation, and arrow denotes causal influence
or cause-effect relationship. These three components are commonly seen in
a conceptual paradigm.

you make changes in the other components of the methodology, you should
revisit the conceptual framework to ensure it is consistent and congruent.

Here is another example of conceptual framework. This time it follows IPO
format. IPO means Input-Process-Output. This paradigm clearly shows how
the researcher will go through with the study. The data needed, the processes
involved, and the output of the study are specified.
