A. How to develop the conceptual framework of the study?
1. Offer your own perspective.
The conceptual framework is needed for this section, allowing the
researcher to offer his own perspective and inquiries. The conceptual
framework takes the writer's ideas and uses them as a guide and map for
the proposal. A personal perspective in a proposal of this kind is
important and necessary to develop a solution to the proposed problem.
This includes an explanation of which theories and concepts are used in
the study and how they are relevant.
2. Offer a clear hypothesis.
With a hypothesis, it is important to explain why testing it will be
beneficial. It’s also important to offer information regarding the
conceptual framework and how it fits into the hypothesis.
3. The key steps for development of conceptual framework
a. Identify the key variables used in the subject are of the study
b. Draw out key variables within something that have already written
about in the subject area
c. Take one key variable and then brainstorm all the possible things
related to the key variable
d. After the variables have been defined, focus on number of
relationship they can perform with each other to determine the
interrelationships between all.

A research question is the fundamental core of a research project, study, or
review of literature. It focuses the study, determines the methodology, and
guides all stages of inquiry, analysis, and reporting.
The research question begins with a research problem, an issue someone would
like to know more about or a situation that needs to be changed or addressed,
such as:
Areas of concern
Conditions that could be improved
Difficulties that need to be eliminated
Questions seeking answers
