Independent Variable and Dependent Variable

Independent variable

- is the variable that is changed or controlled in a research to test the effects on the dependent
variable

Dependent Variable

- a dependent variable is being tested and measured in a scientific experiment

affects
Independent Variable Dependent Variable

Investigator Manipulates. Participants’ response


depends on manipulates
The dependent variable is the variable is ‘dependent’ on the independent variable. As the experiment
changes the independent variable, the effect on the dependent variable is observed and recorded.

Title: “The effects of use of social media in the academic performance of students in Mathematics”.

Independent Variable: use of social media Dependent Variable: academic performance

Definition of Conceptual Framework

Alternative Hypothesis

- denoted by H, or H. is the hypothesis that sample observations are influenced by some non-
random cause.

Concept

- an intellectual representation of some aspects of reality that is derived from the observations
made from certain phenomena

Conceptualization

- the process of forming basic ideas, designs, plans or strategic based on given facts, situations
and examples.

Framework

- described as the abstract, logical structure of meaning that guide the development of the study.
All frameworks are based on the identification of any concepts and relationships among these
concepts.

Proportions

- a statement or assertion of the relationship between concepts derived from theories of


generalizations based on empirical data
-
Null Hypothesis

- the null hypothesis, denoted by Ho, is usually hypothesis that sample observations results purely
from the chance.

Variables

- these signifies a more concrete level and are narrow in their definitions. A variable is pure
specific and is measurable.

A conceptual framework represents the researcher’s synthesis or literature on how to explain a certain
phenomenon. It maps out the action required during the study given his/her previous knowledge of
other researchers’ point of view and his observations about the research.

In the other words, the conceptual framework is the researcher’s understanding on how the variables in
the study connect with each other. Thus, it identifies the variables required in the researched
investigation. It is the researchers “map” in pursuing the investigation.

The conceptual framework “sets the stage” for the presentation of the research question that drives the
investigation being reported based on the problem statement. The problem statement of the research
present the context issues that caused the researcher to conduct the study (McGaghie, et al., 2001).

The conceptual framework lies within a much broader framework called Theoretical framework. The
latter draws support from time tested theories that embody the finding of many researchers on why and
how a particular phenomenon occurs.

Purpose of Conceptual Framework

1. To clarify concepts and proposed relationships among the concept of the study.
2. To provide the context for interpreting the study findings.
3. To explain observations
4. To encourage theory development that is useful to practice.

Steps in Developing Conceptual Framework

1. Choose your topic. Decide on what will be your research topic. The topic should be within your
field of specialization.
2. Do a literature review. Review relevant and updated research on the theme that you decide to
work on after scrutiny of the issue at hand. Preferably use peer- reviewed and well-known
scientific journals as these are reliable sources of information. Literature is one of the key point
to have an effective conceptual framework.
3. Isolate the important variables. Identify the dependent and Independent variables. Remember,
on your research topic itself you must identify the variables needed.
4. Generate the conceptual framework. In generating the conceptual framework remember:–
Independent variables (causes) – Dependent variables (effects)
