Models, frameworks, & theories are used interchangeably in literature. Although some philosophers try to differentiate between them, they are almost the same.

Evans:

I am not a Q expert but from what I understand, the frameworks are not as in-depth as the quality models such as the TQM that uses an holistic approach to assessing quality. The following linked article further elaborates on the difference:

Un modelo de aseguramiento de calidad establecerá los lineamientos, instrumentos y parámetros mínimos y máximos para poder desarrollar un sistema de educación consistente, organizado y funcional.

En el caso de los marcos de garantía en el caso de nuestro país, son los procesos, actas resoluciones, es decir el contexto jurídico que justifica el modelo de mejoramiento del sistema de educación superior.

Models, frameworks, & theories are used interchangeably in literature. Although some philosophers try to differentiate between them, they are almost the same.

QA models work like turnkey solutions, i.e., self-contained, and seem to be thought and conceived like magic and unique ways of introducing quality to education policies to reach success and quality education. QA frameworks offer the signposts that delimit the processes involved in QA in an area that is in need of change and improvement. The framework functions like a list of dos and donts that border a QA activity.

Dear Lifuka

I would like to be mentioning that no differences between the quality assurance (QA) frameworks and models.

In fact, the quality assurance frameworks/models allow HEIs to look at their strengths and weaknesses and continuously improve their quality of service .
