Theoretical/Conceptual Framework (2 to 3 pages) What are the barriers that
LGBTQ population faces in accessing quality
health care?
The theoretical or conceptual framework refers to the perspective (paradigm) that guides
your study. The theoretical or conceptual framework is the basic structure of the ideas to be
tested in your research study. Additionally, the theoretical or conceptual framework gives
the reader an understanding of why you chose your research questions, how your research
questions will be answered in a particular way, and how you decided on particular
hypotheses.
The theory should be clearly described. You must demonstrate how this framework applies
to your research topic and define all key terms. The theoretical or conceptual framework
should be consistent with your specific aims (research questions), and your research
methods to collect the data.
Grading Components:
1) Content: (15 points)
a. Selected a theoretical or conceptual framework appropriate for your
research topic
b. Provided the rationale for using this specific theoretical or conceptual
framework
c. Demonstrated how the particular framework is relevant to your research
topic.
d. Explained how this theoretical or conceptual framework guides your research
and determines what data variables (information) you will collect
e. The theoretical or conceptual framework is consistent with research
questions
f. The theoretical or conceptual framework used is specific and well-thought
out
Conceptual Model (1 page)
A conceptual model presents the relationships among a set of connected concepts and
ideas. The conceptual model displays how your mind sees a particular topic. By constructing a
conceptual model, you think about what you know (your hypothesis or probable outcomes
about your research topic) and what you still need to find out (data variables and data
collection). In a conceptual model, the concepts are usually represented by single words
enclosed in a rectangle (box) and are connected to other concept boxes by arrows.
Conceptual models are graphical tools used for organizing and representing knowledge.
A
conceptual model is a diagram showing the relationship between your theoretical- Framework-Map Grading Guidelines
framework and data collection. The conceptual model details how you will collect the data
necessary to answer the specific aims in your research proposal.
Grading Components:
1) Content: (5 points)
a. Concept model represented graphically
b. Concepts are included with boxes and circles
c. Relationships between and among variables are shown by connecting lines to
specific boxes
d. Information needed to address the specific aim
No references needed in this section.
All papers must meet standards for scholarly writing and graduate level work. Your paper
should be well written (clarity), have the appropriate type and number of references, if
applicable, and meet APA style and formatting standards. Problems in these areas can result
in up to a 3-point deduction on the overall paper.
