Theoretical Framework
Presenter: Zafar Ahmad
2
Key understanding
A good theoretical framework is central to examining the problem under investigation.
Learning outcome
Identify the network of relationships among the variables considered important to study of given problem.
3
Theoretical framework• It works as a map for the
research. • Theoretical framework is
identi-fying the network of relationships among the variables.
• Conceptual model of all the factors contributing to the problem
• It helps to generate hypotheses.
4
Variables• Dependent variable
• Independent variable
• Moderating variable
• Mediator (intervening) variable

Components of theoretical framework• Clearly defined relevant
variables• State how two or more
variables are related (relationship)
• Indication of nature of relationship +/- ive
• Clear explanation to expect relationships to exist
• Diagram of theoretical framework
