Preliminary Methods and Illustrative Examples in Formulating the Research Frameworks on the Research Writing Process for Senior High School Students

Education, Research

This research article describes and presents preliminary methods and illustrative examples in formulating the research frameworks on the research writing process for senior high school students. This paper takes initiative in research education to help the students in establishing and maintaining the research skills with the help of preliminary methods and illustrative examples in writing and presenting the theoretical or conceptual frameworks in research. A framework gives a transparent explanation about the relationships of variables to show how the framework structures the parameters or boundaries of the research study in terms of what needs to be covered. In this case, the theoretical framework shapes the justification of the research problems to provide the legal basis for defining its parameters. On the other hand, the problem statement serves as a reference for constructing the conceptual framework. In presenting the conceptual framework, researchers may use a diagram, paradigm, a pattern, model, or set of forms that contain particular elements as a reference in formulating the conceptual framework such as the IPO (Input-Process-Output) Model, IV-DV (Independent Variable - Dependent Variable) Model, PC (Predictor-Criterion) Model, and P Model. In addition, there are various styles that a researcher may use in presenting the theoretical or conceptual framework; it depends as well on the format, guidelines, policy, and requirement of the institution whether in a journal or university. In this light, these methods, illustrative examples, and processes help the students in demonstrating the research skills in writing and presenting the theoretical or conceptual frameworks on the research writing process.
