Slide 7 — Conceptual Framework: Purpose

| Feature | Theoretical Framework | Conceptual Framework | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Literature review (existing theories) | Researcher’s synthesis & logic | | Nature | Generic, broad, established | Specific, narrow, contextual | | Visual | Usually text/citations | Usually a diagram (boxes & arrows) | | Role | Explains why variables relate | Defines which variables & how to measure | | Timing | Comes first (the foundation) | Comes second (the application) | | Changeability | Static (You stick to the theory) | Dynamic (Can evolve as you collect data) |

Key Takeaway: One is borrowed; one is built.

"Good morning. Today we are addressing a fundamental question in research design: What is the difference between a theoretical framework and a conceptual framework? By the end of this presentation, you will know exactly when to use each, how to build them, and—most importantly—how to present them in your own proposal without losing your audience."
