                   Conceptual Framework

                                                 Written by Ari Julianto      Conceptual Framework is one of the main part in a thesis or skripsi. It is usually placed at the end of Chapter II, but some other faculties have their own rules.
      A conceptual framework elaborates the research problem in relation to relevant literature. This section may summarize the major (dependent and independent) variables in our research. The framework may be summarized in a schematic diagram that presents the major variables and their hypothesized relationships. It should also cover the following:
a. Existing research and its relevance for our topic
b. Key ideas or constructs in our approach
c. Identify and discuss the variables related to the problem.
d. Conceptualized relationships between variables Independent variables (presumed cause), Dependent variables (presumed effect), Intervening variables (other variables that influence the effect of the independent variable)
e. Present a schematic diagram of the relationships between key variables and discuss the relationship of the elements/variables
      A conceptual framework is used in research to outline possible courses of action or to present a preferred approach to an idea or thought. Conceptual frameworks (theoretical frameworks) are a type of intermediate theory that attempt to connect to all aspects of inquiry (e.g., problem definition, purpose, literature review, methodology, data collection and analysis). Conceptual frameworks can act like maps that give coherence to empirical inquiry. Because conceptual frameworks are potentially so close to empirical inquiry, they take different forms depending upon the research question or problem.
      Several types of conceptual frameworks have been identified,such as
Working hypothesis
Descriptive Categories
Practical ideal types
Models of operations research
Formal hypotheses
      Shields and Tajalli (2006) have identified several types of conceptual frameworks (working hypotheses, descriptive categories, practical ideal type, models of operations research and formal hypotheses) for the field of public administration.
      The frameworks are linked to particular research purposes (exploration, description, gauging, decision making and explanation/prediction). When purpose and framework are aligned other aspects of empirical research such as choice of methodology (survey, interviews, analysis of existing data, direct observation, focus groups etc) and type of statistical technique become obvious.
      A conceptual framework is a graphic diagram of a research topic or thesis. The conceptual framework is basically a visual representation of the research topic. The conceptual framework discusses the thesis or hypothesis stated in the paper, expands on literature pertinent to the topic and offers a synopsis of the research paper's main points. A conceptual framework assists to structure a research paper and expand, clarify and discuss the subject fully.
      To create a conceptual framework the writer must develop research questions, examine the key variables in regards to those research questions, create a graphic diagram of the question examined, graphically describe the key elements involved, depict current research associated with questions and show relationships between all variables.
      It is important to focus on one topic or one question that will be addressed. For example, if a student's research interests lie in special education they may choose a thesis related to special education. A strong thesis statement regarding special education is important because all research conducted will be related to that statement. After the statement is formulated a conceptual framework will assist the writer in visually representing elements needed in the paper, along with clarifying subject matter to be addressed.

Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient

     Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient Written by Ari Julianto The term of Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (usually symbolized r), or correlation coefficient mostly used in statistic. In educational research is used especilly to find out the correlation or relationship. Basically, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (sometimes referred to as the PPMCC or PCC, or Pearson's r) is a measure of the degree of linear relationship between two variables, usually labeled X and Y. While in regression the emphasis is on predicting one variable from the other, in correlation the emphasis is on the degree to which a linear model may describe the relationship between two variables. In regression the interest is directional, one variable is predicted and the other is the predictor; in correlation the interest is non-directional, the relationship is the critical aspect. The Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient is widely used in the sc...

Fungsi Sosial Pantun Banjar

Fungsi Sosial Pantun Banjar Pada masa-masa Kerajaan Banjar masih jaya-jayanya (1526-1860), pantun tidak hanya difungsikan sebagai sarana hiburan rakyat semata, tetapi juga difungsikan sebagai sarana retorika yang sangat fungsional, sehingga para tokoh pimpinan masyarakat formal dan informal harus mempelajari dan menguasainya dengan baik, yakni piawai dalam mengolah kosa-katanya dan piawai pula dalam membacanya. Tidak hanya itu, di setiap desa juga harus ada orang-orang yang secara khusus menekuni karier sebagai tukang olah dan tukang baca pantun (bahasa Banjar Pamantunan). Uji publik kemampuan atas seorang Pamantunan yang handal dilakukan langsung di depan khalayak ramai dalam ajang adu pantun atau saling bertukar pantun yang dalam bahasa Banjar disebut Baturai Pantun. Para Pamantunan tidak boleh tampil sembarangan, karena yang dipertaruhkan dalam ajang Baturai Pantun ini tidak hanya kehormatan pribadinya semata, tetapi juga kehormatan warga desa yang diwakilinya.
