It illustrates the structure or blueprint of the research plan and helps the researcher formulate relevant research questions.
Research Framework
It consists of the key concepts and assumes relationships of the research project.
Framework
How id research framework presented?
Using visual (diagrams, chart, etc.) and narrative (paragraph stating theconcepts and relationships of the study) forms.
It is commonly used for studies that anchor on time- tested theories thatrelate the findings of the investigation to the underpinning relevant theory of knowledge.
Theoretical Framework
It refers to the actual ideas, beliefs, and tentative theories that specifically support the study.
Conceptual Framework
It is primarily a conception or model of what is out there that the researcher plans to study.

Conceptual Framework
It is a visual representation of information that helps show the relationship between ideas.
Concept map
It begin with the main topic and then branch out into sub-topics, reflecting the connection of all the elements in the study.
Concept Map
Purpose of concept map
It is developing or creating your plan or blueprint so that you will be guided on the flow and direction of your research
study.
It is the “presumed cause” of the research problem.
independent variable
It can be purposely manipulated by the researcher,
depending on the focus of the study. It maybe can cause, influence, or affect the result or outcome
of the study.
Independent Variable
It refers to the variable that is stable and unaffected by the other variables you are trying to measure.
Independent, experimental, treatment, antecedent, or predictor variable.
It is the “presumed effect” of the research problem.
dependent variable
This variable is altered as a result of experimental
manipulation of the independent variable or variables.
dependent variable
Other name for dependent variable
criterion, effect,
response, or outcome variable
It is an independent variable which influences the direction and thestrength of the connection between independent and dependent variables.
moderating variable
It is an element that exists between the independent to the dependent variable.
Mediating variable or Intervening variable
