Name the theory or conceptual framework in a heading.

Write two or three paragraphs about the author, the concept of the theory or conceptual framework.

Write at least one paragraph of the use in history and today or why it is not used today.

Write a conclusion about your thoughts on the theory or conceptual framework.

Assignment: Part 2

Using the instruction below, access the SPSS page and create an account. Include a screenshot of this account in your paper. Write a paragraph of your experience getting to this stage.

NCU includes the IBM SPSS Statistics software as a component covered by the Course Materials Fee. You will need this software for your statistics course(s) and may wish to use the software for other courses and/or your dissertation.

Here are the steps to do so:

Register for an account using the SPSS page link in the weekly resources. Use your NCU email address during registration. If you have any problems registering for an account, please contact the NCU IT Service Desk: ServiceDesk@ncu.edu.

The framework is one of the first steps in dissertation writing.A concept is an abstract idea thatisbasedonactualphenomenathatconstitute thedata.Atheoryisasetofconcepts,and thetheoryclarifies the concepts (Grant & Osanloo, 2014).There are two types of frameworks indissertationwriting:Conceptual framework andTheoreticalframework.

A conceptual framework understands how the research problem is bestexplored, how the research will take a specific direction, and the relation between the variables. The conceptual framework generally offers a logical structure of the concepts. It includes formal theories, concepts, and findings from the literature. A DBA typically uses aconceptual framework for the dissertation.

A theoretical framework is a theoretical assumptionfor the larger context of a study. To examine a topic theoretical framework gives a uniqueperspective.Ph.D. and Applied Degree researchers include theoretical frameworks. The theoretical framework provides the groundwork for literature review, methods, andanalysis (Christine & Li, 2015). In this article, the author reviews two examplesof theoreticalframeworksandtwo examplesof conceptualframeworks.
