A conceptual framework refers to a set of ideas, principles, and concepts that provide a conceptual or theoretical structure for understanding a particular topic or area of study. It is a framework that helps organize and define the concepts, theories, and relationships between variables or elements within a specific area of inquiry. A conceptual framework serves as a guide or roadmap for researchers, scholars, or practitioners to understand, analyze, and interpret data and information within a specific field of study. It helps provide a coherent and systematic approach to examine and explain complex phenomena or issues.
