Conceptual Framework

Introduction

Constructing a conceptual framework is the first step in the process of simulation.

Explanation

Purpose of conceptual framework

A conceptual framework is like a roadmap for your study, helping you visualise your research project and put it into action. It defines the relevant variables for your study and maps out how they might relate to each other. 

Conceptual frameworks have different uses in different types of studies.

  • In quantitative studies, a conceptual framework might be used to determine survey questions or data points, or to generate a hypothesis for explanations and predictions.
  • In qualitative studies, a conceptual framework might be used to provide a working hypothesis or a set of research questions, or to identify or explore categories in descriptive research.
