CHAPTER CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKS IN RESEARCH distribute

32 CHAPTER TWOCHAPTER OVERVIEW AND GOALSIn this CHAPTER , we emphasize the importance of CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKS in RESEARCH and discuss the central role they play in all aspects of qualitative RESEARCH . This CHAPTER begins with a discussion of what constitutes a CONCEPTUAL framework . After establishing a working sense of what a CONCEPTUAL framework is and a beginning roadmap of its uses, we focus on what it does or, more precisely, what you do with it. Following this, we discuss how to construct a CONCEPTUAL framework and provide recommended practices to help you develop one. We also include an example CONCEPTUAL framework memo that details how a researcher describes their CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKS IN RESEARCHA CONCEPTUAL framework lives at the center of an empirical study. The CONCEPTUAL framework serves as a guide and ballast to RESEARCH (Ravitch & Riggan, 2016), functioning as an integrating ecosystem that helps researchers intentionally bring all aspects of a study together through a process that explicates their connec-tions, disjunctures, overlaps, tensions, and the contexts shaping a RESEARCH setting and the study of phenomena in that setting.

A conceptual framework makes the case for why a study is significant and relevant and for how the study design (including data collection and analysis methods) appropri - ately and rigorously answers the research questions.
