What specific forms might a conceptual framework take?

The possibilities include: flowcharts, tree diagram, shape-based diagram,
triangles, concentric circles, overlapping circles, mind maps, and software systems.

A "flow chart" of innovation decision making prior conditions.

1. Previous practice
2. Felt needs
3. Innovativeness
4. Norms of the social system communication channels

A conceptual framework provides direction for programs, courses, teaching and
others. Granatin (n.d.) states that "conceptual framework is the researcher's own
position on the problem and gives direction to the study: Aside from showing the
direction of the study, through the conceptual framework, the researcher is able to
show the relationships of the different constructs that he wants to investigate.

The conceptual framework utilizes the independent-dependent model used in
behavioral sciences. In the context of the study, the identified independent variables-
factors affecting the behavior of pupils within the public school setting are: family,
community, teachers and learning environment. The dependent variables include the
behavior problems within the public school setting-internalizing behavior (initiative,
uncooperative, inactive) and externalizing behavior (aggression, disobedience,
impulsiveness)

Study the conceptual framework.
