Theoretical framework: the use of constructs and propositions a recognized theory (or theories) to a research problem, purpose, and question.
·

2.
Conceptual framework: the construction of ideas, assumptions, and beliefs sourced in both the literature and one’s own experience, which identify the main concepts that guide the formulation of the research problem, purpose, and question.
·
Examples: Concepts from positive psychology, mindfulness meditation, language development models
