Using a conceptual model

 A Conceptual Model helps to pin down the key concepts. You can develop this on your own from the review of the literature review . Just crate a mind map of the key ideas and the realtionship between them.

There may be causes and effcets. It may be a system diagram of inputs, processes and outcomes. Such a model helps simplify the question/answer.

 There are existing conceptual models that you may use:

Pupil-Teacher Partnerships

This material from the Clearinghouse on Early Education and Parenting looks useful because it gets below the

surface level material of what the partnership does but identifies key concepts and ideas such as cultural consistency, role construction, beliefs, etc. It shows differences and tensions and isn't just a gloss on "partnership" written from the professional standpoint.

 
Activity theory

Activity theory is another good tool . This material from the Learning Theory Website shows the key concepts and the way they interact.

Communities of Practice

Learning Theory

 Well the learning theory website has it all.

James Atherton's material is also excellent on learning theories and aspects of teaching, learning and assessment. See lLearning and Teaching and Doceo

Not least the "conceptual framework" at the end of the literature review can help to claim new perspectives if it is amanded at the end of the fieldwork!
