理论和概念框架引导研究的路径，并为建立其可信度提供基础。虽然这些术语看起来相似，但它们在概念上和在研究中的作用是不同的。然而，许多学生发现很难区分这两个密切相关的框架，同时定义他们在研究中的角色。然而，包含理论和/或概念框架是论文或学位论文中的强制性要求，显示了学生的研究地图。对这两个框架的良好理解将有助于良好的调查。本文解释了这些术语的含义，它们在研究过程中的重要性，它们的区别和相似之处，同时就如何构建和利用它们进行特定研究提供了有见地的建议。
Theoretical and conceptual frameworksguide the paths of a research and offer the foundation for establishing its credibility. Though these terms seem similar, they are different from each other in concept and in their roles in the research inquiry. However, many students find it difficult and confusing to distinguish between these two closely related frameworks while defining their roles in their research. Yet, the inclusion of a theoretical and/or conceptual framework is a mandatory requirement in a thesis or dissertation that shows the student’s map of the research s/he seeks to undertake. A good comprehension of both frameworks would inure to a good investigation. This article explains the meanings of the terms, their importance in the research process, their difference and similarities while offering insightful suggestions on how they can be constructed and utilized for a particular research.
