ACTIVITY WORKSHEET FOR PRACTICAL RESEARCH II
WEEK 6 DAY 1&2
General Objective: (MELC) Illustrate and explain the conceptual framework. (CS_RS12-If-j-6)
Learning Objective: a. Create a conceptual framework out of the statement of the problem, and
b. Cite the importance of writing the framework of the study.
A. Learn
In this lesson, the conceptual framework will be discussed. Conceptual framework serves as the
outline that you can follow in doing your research. It is also useful in analyzing a particular research or
study. It is sometime called the ‘blueprint’ of the research as it shows the overview of the research or the
‘plan’ in doing the research. It is mostly presented through diagram, chart or map, and rarely through a
narrative form. However, in case of including a diagram, you should always present an explanation or
narrative after. The narrative should summarize the variables and explore how they may change your
hypothesis and this is considered as an adaptable guide.
Procedure in writing your conceptual framework

1. Choose your topic. Decide on what will be your research topic. It should be within the field of your
specialization. Make sure that you know the objectives of your study by heart.
2. Do a literature review. Go over relevant and updated studies related to your own research. Use reliable
sources of information and use appropriate documentation.
3. Isolate the important variables. Identify the specific variables mentioned in the literature and show their
interrelationships.
4. Generate the conceptual framework. Build your conceptual framework using the variables studies in
the scholarly articles you have read. Ensure that all aspects of your conceptual framework are related to
the objective of your study.
Nature and Purposes

A conceptual framework is used in research to outline possible courses of action or to present a
preferred approach to an idea or thought.
The purposes of the framework are as follow:
✓ To clarify concepts and propose relationships among the concepts in a study
✓ To provide a context for interpreting the study findings
✓ To explain observations
✓ To encourage theory development that is useful and practical
Example from a research paper

Title: IN FOCUS: COLLEGE OF EDUCATION GRADUATES
LICENSURE EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS (LET) PERFORMANCE
Statement of the Problem

This study closely scrutinized the performance of Bachelor of Secondary Education graduates of
Bulacan State University CY 2013-2015.
Specifically, this answered the following questions:

1. How is the performance of BSEd graduates be compared to the national performance?
2. How is the performance be described in the following:
a. General Education (Gen.Ed.);
b. Professional Education (Prof. Ed.); and
c. Major courses?
3. What intervention/s can be devised to further improve t the performance of the graduates in LET?
Conceptual Framework (example cont.)

This study follows the I-P-O process where the input are the LET results of BSEd graduates from
2013-2015. The process used was documentary analysis, and the output is an analysis of LET
performance of BSEd graduates of College of Education of Bulacan State University, in the Gen. Ed., Prof.
Ed., and major courses and the implications to curriculum development, activities and inputs for the LET
performance.
Conceptual Framework vs. Theoretical Framework

These two are the types of Framework of the Study. Though the most commonly used framework is
the conceptual as it is based on the researcher’s understanding on how his/her research will be done.
B. Engage
Write here the importance of conceptual framework in a research study.

C. Apply
DIRECTIONS: Create a conceptual framework out of the given statement of the problem.
Research Question: Does a SHS student’s academic performance in Math have any association with
his/her stress tolerance?
Statement of the Problem:

This study generally aims to determine if a SHS students’ academic performance in Mathematics have any
association with his/her stress tolerance.
Specifically, this study shall seek answers to the following questions:

1. What is the demographic profile of Grade 11 students of DLSAU in terms of:
1.1. sex?;
1.2. SHS strand?; and
1.3. final grade in General Mathematics?
2. What is the level of stress tolerance of Grade 11 students of DLSAU?
3. Is there a significant relationship between the DLSAU Grade 11 students’ final grade in General
Mathematics and their level of stress tolerance?
WEEK 6: DAY 3 & 4
General Objective: (MELC) Defines terms used in study. (CS_RS12-la-e-7)

Learning Objective: a. Discuss the two types of definition of terms, and
b. State the importance of including the unknown terms in the research paper.
A. Learn
To complete the research, it is imperative to unlock terms used in the paper especially if there are
jargons used. Definition of terms will help clarify the purpose and direction of the study being conducted.
Organizing Definitions
An important part in writing a research in an academic paper is to give definitions of key terms. There
are two types of definitions:
✓ Conceptual definition – the meaning of the term is usually taken from the dictionary
✓ Operational definition – the definition based on an observed characteristics and how it is used in
the study
These are the few principles to keep in mind:

1. Make sure that in the definition, you focus on what something is, not just what its effects are or what
it is used for.
2. Extend the definition so that it exactly covers what you want the reader to understand. Never assume
that if the term appears to be quite common, everyone knows what it means. And, do not overload your
definition.
3. It is helpful to supplement a definition, where appropriate, to clarify further the meaning of the term.
4. You are advised not to invent a definition for any term which has a clear and accepted definition in
place. However, the term should be defined as used in the study or research or within the content being
discussed.
5. Finally, once you establish a definition, so not change its meaning in the middle of the article or the
paper.
Example of Definition of Terms

From: Baraceros (2017)
1. Temperature
o Conceptual Definition: heat flowing between infinite reservoirs
o Operational Definition: define temperature in relation to operations with gas thermometers
2. Electric Current
o Conceptual Definition: force between two parallel conductors
o Operational Definition: mention the device, current balance, to measure electric current
3. Anger
o Conceptual Definition: Intangible; not directly measured by observation
o Operational Definition: mention facial expressions, vocabulary, or voice tone to measure anger
B. Engage
To check your understanding, compare and contrast the two types of definition and give an example
for each.
