This is a really nice guide (101 page PDF) by the Global OER Graduate Network (GO-GN) on the topic of conceptual frameworks, a topic that covers "brings together a set of ideas and articulates the different concepts that will be used in a study or research project." It should not be confused with related concepts such as models or theories. It includes things like metaphors (illustrated), positionality, construction, or social network analysis. Additionally, "Jabareen's approach to conceptual frameworks is to see them as oriented towards deeper understanding rather than a theoretical explanation (which is what quantitative approaches offer)" (there's a good list on page 17). Usefully, the document also offers "a short description of some conceptual frameworks and how they have been used in doctoral research projects by members of GO-GN," which forms the bulk of the work
