Although the terms conceptual and theoretical frameworks have been used interchangeably at times they do refer to two different things. A theoretical framework is a study based on an existing theory or theories where as a conceptual framework is something the author develops based on the theory. After reviewing the Reading and Study material for this module, conducting your own outside research, and considering the two different types of frameworks, select a conceptual or theoretical framework to explore that will align with your problem statement . Use three scholarly articles that no more than five years old.
