Research framework: Theoretical and conceptual framework

What is the purpose of having a strong framework in research?

• To provide a foundation for the research study

• To confuse other researchers

• To create a new framework for the study

• To conduct a grounded theory study

What is the difference between a theoretical framework and a conceptual framework?

• A theoretical framework uses a pre-established theory, while a conceptual framework uses concepts from multiple theories

• A theoretical framework uses concepts from multiple theories, while a conceptual framework uses a pre-established theory

• A theoretical framework is used in qualitative research, while a conceptual framework is used in quantitative research

• A theoretical framework is used in quantitative research, while a conceptual framework is used in qualitative research

Which type of framework uses a pre-established theory?
