CONCEPTUAL vs THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK 🔍🔍 Conceptual: 📕 It is more about the approach that a researcher takes in answering a research question. 📕 It is derived from concepts. 📕 A conceptual framework is composed of several concepts. Further, a conceptual framework may include a theoretical framework. 📕 Conceptual frameworks identify factors influencing a particular field, e.g., exploration of ‘masquerade’ mimicry in animals based on phenomena such as protective mimicry, crypsis and aposematis

Struggling to distinguish between a theoretical and conceptual framework? 📌 A Theoretical Framework draws directly from established theories to guide your research. 📌 A Conceptual Framework is your customized approach, constructed by integrating concepts from different theories or original insights relevant to your research questions. I firmly believe that you need a theory to guide your study if you’re conducting empirical research. #PhDResearch #GraduateStudent #AcademicWriting #ResearchFram
