is the structure that can hold or support a theory of

a research study. The theoretical framework
introduces and describes the theory which explains
why the research problem under study exists.
Is a theories that serves as the building blocks or
skeleton for the foundation or bases of the study.

Articulating the theoretical assumptions of a

why and how.
having a theory helps the researcher identify the
limits to those generalizations.

It is a schematic representation showing the relationship

between different types of variables involved in the study
such as relationship between independent variables and
the dependent variable. (Tidwell,2012).

interlinked concepts that together provide a
comprehensive understanding of a phenomenon or
