Abstract

One of the most common doubts among graduate students is related to the difficulty of defining the difference between theory, theoretical framework and conceptual framework to guide the construction of a thesis or dissertation. These words are used interchangeably or without a clear understanding of the differences between them, and in different ways in different research approaches. In this sense, this article uses the systematic review methodology to distinguish the meaning of each of these terms. The aim is to help the reader to develop an understanding of the meaning of these concepts and how they should be used in the development of postgraduate academic work. The concepts of these frameworks, the purpose of each one and how they should be used in research were presented.
