Conceptual Framework - A conceptual framework organizes ideas and concepts to understand a particular subject. It's like a mental model that helps you see the relationships between different things. It provides a structure for your thinking by identifying key concepts, variables, and their relationships. It can be depicted visually using diagrams, charts, or graphs to show these connections. It helps you develop a deeper understanding of a topic by explaining or predicting how different elements work together. Researchers use them to guide their studies and analyze their findings. Project managers use them to plan and execute projects. Businesses use them to understand their customers, markets, and operations. Example - Student Engagement.

Primary Concept - Why have a philosophy?
Primary Concept - Why have a philosophy?
Your beliefs about teaching and learning influence many of the decisions you make as a teacher.
Defining your philosophy helps you make thoughtful choices about designing and teaching your students. For example, suppose you believe students learn by building on prior knowledge and collaborating with others. In that case, you may want more small-group discussions and team-based activities than instructor-led lectures. Understanding who you are as a teacher and your preferred approaches and strategies will profoundly impact how you design your curriculum and instruction and, therefore, whether and how your students learn.

The Nature of Knowledge - What kind of knowledge is most valuable? Is it universal and timeless truths or expertise that is constantly evolving?
The Role of the Teacher - What is the teacher's primary function? Is it to be a transmitter of information or a facilitator of learning?
