Researchers create theoretical and conceptual frameworks that include a philosophical and

methodological model to help design their work. A formal theory provides context for the
outcome of the events conducted in the research. The data collection and analysis are also
based on the theoretical and conceptual framework.

Figure 2.0 This conceptual framework showed the concepts presented in the study.
 The input is set through the statement of the problem, the process would be the
questinnaires prepared, the holding of survey and gathering data from online articles and books.
The output would be a study whether animated cartoons influence a child’s growth as assessed
by parents.

A theoretical framework consists of concepts and, together with their definitions and
reference to relevant scholarly literature, existing theory that is used for your particular study.
The theoretical framework must demonstrate an understanding of theories and concepts that
are relevant to the topic of your research paper and that relate to the broader areas of
knowledge being considered.

Figure 1.0 is used as the basis of the proposed system’s paradigm.

The theoretical framework that will be used in the study is the Input-Process- Output Model. In the IPO

model, a process is viewed as a series of boxes (processing elements) connected by inputs and outputs.

Information or material objects flow through a series of task or activities based on a set of rules or

description points. Flow charts and process diagrams are often used to represent the process. What goes

in is the input; what causes the change is the process; what comes out is the output. The IPO model will

provide the general structure and guide for the direction of study.

The Input-Process-Output Model also known as the IPO+S Model is a functional model and

conceptual schema of a general system. An IPO chart identifies a program’s inputs, its outputs, and the

processing steps required to transform the inputs into the outputs.

 The IPO model has many interdisciplinary applications, and is used to convey systems fundamentals

in IT overview education and as a brainstorming, preliminary investigation tool in systems development

processes. It consists of at least three, and sometimes four, distinct components. In contemporary

Information Technology, it is almost always discussed as a three component model in which the fourth is

a named optional.
