A conceptual framework is an essential part of a dissertation that shows how a researcher synthesized literature and what they intend to study based in that. The previous knowledge as exemplified by other authors is used as a basis to identify gaps or questions that need answering. The observations and inferences made from the literature study helps to organize and make distinctions of ideas. In thesis and dissertations, the conceptual framework positions the current study to the existing field of research. Additionally, theories are constructed at this point to help in the predicting and mastering of relationship or behavior. The purpose of conceptual frameworks in research is to provide a visual representation of how the researcher will carry out the work in an easy manner. Therefore, the broader subject of study is broken down into distinct processes that can be understood in isolation. The framework also gives the point of intersection of all the ideas to show relationships that are important to the study. Further, the theories applied from past literature can be understood using the visual presentation to create a plan when carrying out the work.
