  • Vision
• THEORY

  • Conceptual idea used to describe or understand a phenomenon
  • Describes the relationship among variables
  • Purpose: Explaining a current state or predicting future events
• THEORETHICAL FRAMEWORK

  • Formulated from existing theories; serve as the foundation of the study
  • Paradigm that is originally used by the theorist can be fully adopted in the present study
• CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

  • Expected relationship b/w your variables
  • Defines relevant objectives and maps out how they come together
• PARADIGM

  • Result of a clear understanding of the conceptual or theoretical framework is a diagrammatic presentation of the study
• 1. IPO MODEL
  2. IV DV MODEL
  3. PC MODEL
  4. -P MODEL
  5. POM
• IPO MODEL

  • Input - process - output
  • Isolate the factor or major variable that causes the problem or phenomenon
• IV DV MODEL

  • Used in experiment based studies
  • Questions are higher order and classified as situation relating
• PC MODEL

  • Predictor - criterion model
  • Relating and assessing influence b/w 2 or more variables
  • Studied that focuses on relationships, differences, and impacts
• -P MODEL

  • Used in studies that propose a program or intervention measure
  • Fits the situation producing level of questioning
• POM

  • Proposed original model
  • Researcher presents an original paradigm
