| Abstract |
The article lay emphasis on the rationale for incorporating literature review in a research work in order to augment what is being asserted by the researcher. This given the fact that not everything read in the course of research is sufficiently relevant. However, the onus is on the researcher to define and differentiate what is meant by either theoretical or conceptual frame work. The work also brings to light two basic frame works that are germane and usually employed when carrying out views on educational research. The two models (theoretical and conceptual frame work) that are explanatory are included as an optional part of the background to the study where a given problem takes root from another. Having brought to light the common ground between the two explanation models, this work went further to draw the line between the two explanations.
