BUILDING THEORETICAL AND CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORKS FOR QUANTITATIVE RESEARCH REPORT IN EDUCATION
The paradigm shift in the conduct and the contents of research reports in universities has continued to create challenges to many researchers. In recent times the gradual obligatory and academic demands to include theoretical and conceptual frameworks in every quantitative research reports have been described by many students as addition to research rigors. In some cases some supervisors may find it difficult to guide their students. However it may appear, the importance of theoretical and conceptual frameworks in quantitative research reports cannot be overlooked because research variables depend largely on existing theories and interrelated concepts. This paper therefore reviewed and suggested how theoretical and conceptual frameworks can be developed for quantitative research reports. The paper also made attempt to give clearer views on the conceptualization of theories, variables, models, constructs, and concepts, theoretical and conceptual frameworks. The components of theoretical and conceptual frameworks for quantitative research reports were presented, and attempts were made to show how the frameworks are applied in a research. It was therefore concluded that theoretical and conceptual frameworks are necessary and useful ingredients of a sound quantitative research report. Recommendations were made, one of which was that both frameworks should be used simultaneously in every quantitative research report.

How do we decide whether to use a quantitative or qualitative methodology for our study? Quantitative and qualitative research (are they a dichotomy or different ends on a continuum?). How do we analyse and write the results of a study for the research article or our thesis? Further questions can be asked such as; is the paradigm same as research design? How can we spot a paradigm in our research article? Although the questions are answered quietly explicitly, the discussion on the paradigm and research design remains technical. This can be evidenced by the confusion that people still face in differentiating between a paradigm, methodology, approach and design when doing research. The confusion is further worsened by the quantitative versus qualitative research dichotomies. This article addresses quantitative and qualitative research while discussing scientific research paradigms from educational measurement and evaluation perspective.

In the past few decades, educational practices have changed drastically, particularly regarding how information and learning are delivered and processed. Education research frequently employs quantitative methods. Quantitative education research provides numerical data that can prove or disprove a theory, and administrators can easily share the quantitative findings with other academics and districts. While the study may be based on relative sample size, educators and researchers can extrapolate the results from quantitative data to predict outcomes for larger student populations and groups. Educational research has a long history of utilising measurement and statistical methods. Commonly quantitative methods encompass a variety of statistical tests and instruments. Educators and students could transition to the digital era and research-based knowledge, including quantitative research in advanced higher education, as the technology has advanced. The quantitative research methods in education emphasise basic group designs for research and evaluation, analytic methods for exploring relationships between categorical and continuous measures, and statistical analysis procedures for group design data. The essential is to evaluate quantitative analysis and provide the research process, sampling techniques, the advantages and disadvantages of quantitative research in the article.

How doctoral programs train future researchers in quantitative methods has important implications for the quality of scientifically based research in education. The purpose of this article, therefore, is to examine how quantitative methods are used in the literature and taught in doctoral programs. Evidence points to deficiencies in quantitative training and application in several areas: (a) methodological reporting problems, (b) researcher misconceptions and inaccuracies, (c) overreliance on traditional methods, and (d) a lack of coverage of modern advances. An argument is made that a culture supportive of quantitative methods is not consistently available to many applied education researchers. Collective quantitative proficiency is defined as a vision for a culture representative of broader support for quantitative methodology (statistics, measurement, and research design).
This paper discusses the importance of conceptualisation in quantitative research. It explains in simple terms what conceptualisation entails, and indicates where and how the researcher should apply the techniques of conceptualisation. The paper has been prompted by the recurring challenges higher degree students and early career researchers face in enabling the readers of their research reports (dissertations or theses) to gain a common understanding of what they have written about. Problems with this have caused some dissertations or theses to be rejected for reporting on something other than what the candidate purports to have studied. In this paper, conceptualisation is examined as a multi-dimensional concept, starting with the process of forming concepts that describe the identified research problem, and proceeding to the derivation of agreed-on meanings of concepts, as well as the operationalisation of study variables, in order to avoid ambiguity and misinterpretation in a res...

Conducting educational research involves various stages, with an interdependence and inter-relationship which can be both iterative and progressive in nature. One of these stages is the review of literature sources related to the focus of the research. Reviewing related literature involves tracing, examining, critiquing, evaluating and eventually recommending various forms of contents to the intents of the research based on the content’s typicality, relevance, correctness and appropriateness to what the research intends to achieve. The main variables as stated in the title of the research, the research questions, the research objectives and the hypotheses, dictates the literature sources to review. Reviewing literature focuses on the existing related topics that bear relevance to the title of the research and through which reviewing, appropriate theories can be picked up as the review of related topics and phrases goes on. As soon as the related topics are reviewed and main points noted, the reviewing process proceeds to review the theories underpinning the study. Some of these theories would have been established while reviewing the related topics and can now gain momentum, while other theories can now be generated considering the title, research questions, research objectives and findings of the topics reviewed and discussed earlier. Reviewing related topics generates main points of arguments, solutions, gaps and propositions. Similarly, reviewing theories does produce the same set of corresponding or contrasting agreements, gaps and propositions. Despite reviewing different sources of literature, it is the same research at hand, with same objectives and same methodological layout. Hence, a need to shape a strategic, literature direction for the research by consolidating the key findings of the different sources reviewed, in view of the intents of the research. The process of consolidating the multiplicity of key literature findings relevant to the research into a whole single unit, with one standpoint revealing the strategic literature direction for the research, is called constructing a conceptual framework. The end product of this construction is the conceptual framework, which is the informed and consolidated results presented narratively or schematically, revealing the strategic position of the study in relation to what exists in literature.

HANDBOOK MANUAL IN EDUCATION RESEARCH FOR STUDENTS: A Guide to Practical Approach to Research Problems
Delight O Idika
Research in the behavioural science is usually a systematic and comprehensive study of a problem with a view to tackling the problem and making broad and reasonable advance to the frontiers of human knowledge. The major thrust of researches done in social science and behavioural science or humanities as often being referred is to understand, predict, control and change human behaviours (which are not only complex but keep varying and making appearance in different settings) on certain issues and problems. To achieve these goals, certain laid down step-wise procedures must be followed. These are embedded in the research process. This is the reason why such investigations are said to be scientific though not studied the way the natural or physical sciences are done in a controlled environment (laboratory); this will be discussed in the course of this manual.
