In 2012, Taiwan implemented a dual-track quality assurance system comprising accreditation and self-accreditation in higher education institutions. Self-accrediting institutions can accredit their programs without requiring approval from external quality assurance agencies. In contrast to other countries, the Ministry of Education of Taiwan authorized self-accrediting institutions to develop their own evaluation standards. This study investigated the institution-based accreditation standards and their implications on institutional internal quality assurance. Content analysis revealed that 37 % of the indicators of self-accreditation were new and not used as review indicators in the original accreditation track. Two frequently added indicators were featured indicators and levels of internationalization. The results also indicated that institutions tend to structure their internal quality assurance systems uniquely. Three types of approaches for developing institution-based standards were identified: bottom-up, hybrid, and innovative approaches. Self-accreditation has benefited institutions committed to educational quality and pursuing excellence by enabling them to employ a fitness-for-purpose approach. The diversity of higher education and educational policy changes constitute new challenges to higher education. Balancing between accountability and autonomy is critical for all stakeholders of higher education. 相似文献

Quality assurance at a distance: international accreditation in Taiwan higher education 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
In response to the global competitiveness in higher education, the government, in recent years, has encouraged Taiwan colleges
and universities to seek international accreditation, which raises several questions, such as jurisdiction over national accreditation,
a single set of standards for local and global quality assurance, demand for the mutual recognition of review outcomes, etc.
With the looming pressures for change that international accreditation will likely pose on a Taiwan national framework of
quality assurance, multiple impacts on institutions and national accrediting agencies in Taiwan are now beginning to be increasingly
felt. Hence, this paper examines current academic international accreditation programs and institutions, recognizes Taiwan’s
accrediting organizations, and analyzes the challenges that institutions and national accrediting agencies are facing. 相似文献

The globalization of the world's economy (and its labour market) reveals a growing need for graduate mobility. In this free global market, educational institutions are under increased pressure to show their intrinsic value, to define and guarantee their quality and to show continually their relevance to their communities and national governments (often the main financial stakeholder). Accreditation of degrees (and institutions) by a recognized international authority (or by an international network of recognized national authorities) is often quoted as the solution to address the needs of mobility and quality assurance. I believe that the process of accreditation is not the fundamental answer to these needs. Accreditation in education can be a stabilizing factor in a small-scale economical system, but it fails on a large (global) scale. The reason for this is that any accreditation scheme judges quality in an arbitrary way. The key to opening up free mobility of competencies and to leveraging quality education is to develop a system to measure objectively an individual's competence. A system that makes the abstract notion of 'competence' tangible to anyone, but that leaves the judgement open to the ones who need to judge… 相似文献

As an external review mechanism, accreditation has played a positive global role in quality assurance and promotion of educational reform. Accreditation systems for medical education have been developed in more than 100 countries including China. In the past decade, Chinese standards for basic medical education have been issued together with guidelines for accrediting medical schools, an accreditation committee system has been established, a cohort of assessors has been trained, and a first round of accreditation visits has commenced. Although the national accreditation system in China is now operating within a legal framework as a voluntary process, the system needs further improvements to ensure sustainability and recognition by the international community. To fulfill the objective of completing the first round of medical education accreditation nationwide by 2020, more qualified assessors have to be trained, present policies and processes must be refined, and incentives must be developed to encourage all schools to undergo accreditation. 相似文献

The purposes of this paper are to derive a connection between the quality of accreditation and education in one country and the public protection function of professional regulation in another and to highlight the critical importance of international standards for quality assurance of accreditation and education for consumer protection. Using the United States as a case study, the author outlines the forces influencing the setting of educational standards. These forces include multinational factors such as NAFTA and GATS, the economics of professional regulation, and immigration reform in the United States. The conclusion of this paper is that the critical key to ensuring public protection within and across nations is the quality assurance of education and accreditation through international standards. 相似文献

欧洲联合项目质量认证长期以国家认证为主要方式,这种方式在立法与认证、过程与手段以及结果与认可三个方面存在显著的弊端。为了促进欧洲一体化,提升高等教育整体竞争力,欧洲委员会于2015年推出了一种新的"欧洲方法"——单一认证。与国家认证相比,单一认证具有兼顾标准的统一性与特殊性、节省时间和成本以及共同参与的优势,但其在实践过程中也遇到了制度、系统以及操作层面的障碍。反思单一认证的实践,欧洲各国在进行联合项目质量保障过程中,应充分认识联合项目的特殊性、建立与欧洲标准接轨的质量认证体系以及落实保障单一认证的实践行动。 相似文献

Mindful of local, regional and national differences, it is now time to begin an international dialogue on how global challenges necessitate new models for practice. It is becoming clear that “globalization” involves more than economic structures and processes. Worldwide, one finds similar consumeroriented lifestyles. There are growing challenges concerning children, youth, families, and their environments. New, relational-ecological ways of thinking, talking, and acting are needed, and they may lead to value-committed, culturally responsive models for practice. Increasingly, the roles of professional and citizen cannot be separated. Members of the global community need a new world ethic, and professionals in physical education, sport sciences, health, recreation, and other helping professions share responsibilities for helping to create this ethic, together with the educational structures and opportunities that may nurture it. 相似文献

Four major issues concerning quality in European distance education are addressed. (1) The lack of flexibility in educational institutions is a threat to the quality of the present education system. (2) New technologies offer new potential, but also confront us with a need for quality assessment and assurance. (3) New markets in industry and in new regions of Europe highlight the need for quality standards and guidelines. (4) Finally, public assessment and control of quality are under continuous discussion. In general, quality assurance should be approached in various ways and with different measures at institutional, national and international levels. 相似文献

The Australian government initiated a review of higher education in 2008. One of the outcomes of the review was the formation of a national regulator, the Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA), with responsibilities to: register all higher education providers, accredit the courses of the non self-accrediting providers, assure quality against externally set standards and reduce risk by monitoring institutional performance on various measures. One of the key changes in Australian higher education quality assurance is the shift from a ‘fitness-for-purpose’ approach to quality assurance to a compliance-driven approach using an externally developed set of standards monitored by the national regulator, which has legislated powers to place sanctions on universities and other providers for non-compliance. This article outlines the new framework introduced by the government and analyses its limitations in assuring and improving quality in core and support areas. It cautions universities against being dominated by TEQSA's compliance agenda. Rather, it encourages the development and maintenance of shared governance principles and strong internal quality improvement processes along with the establishment of an outcomes focus, which will stand the test of external compliance auditing while allowing the institution to pursue its own educational objectives. The article is based on the authors’ experience and reflection on external, improvement-led quality audits in Australia over the past decade compared with the present compliance-oriented audits now required for institutional registration and ongoing accreditation. 相似文献

The essay begins by linking the questions of quality guarantees and maintenance, particularly in eastern and central Europe, to the processes of higher education reform, both of which are being generated by the expansion and the diversification of higher education systems, management reform, the need to protect professional standards, and the internationalization of learning. The latter factor, which has as its practical consequences the questions of the recognition and the equivalence of studies, diplomas, and degrees and of academic mobility in general, requires internationally agreed upon standards of quality assessment. Thus a discussion of the many facets of quality is introduced into a discussion leading to the consideration of policy implications of quality assessment. This in turn leads to a consideration of accreditation, a condition and set of procedures more widespread in the USA than in Europe. Quality assessment and the development of appropriate mechanisms for its assurance are linked to questions of finance and management. These mechanisms are both specific to the country in question and internationally oriented. 相似文献

This article examines the extent to which the professional accreditation of professional higher education programmes can complement other quality assurance endeavours being carried out. An analysis of a sample of professional accreditation reports for pharmacy education programmes in Ireland provides insight into the priorities of the regulatory professional body with regard to preparation for the profession. The results show that the reports address issues that are of relevance for the higher education institutions’ provision of quality programmes and for their quality assurance. The article also considers the extent to which the reports hold institutions accountable against the professional standards, while also acknowledging the professional responsibility of institution staff. Catering for both of these logics is necessary so that professional accreditation can contribute effectively as a mechanism for quality assurance, including enhancement, in the institution. 相似文献

Cross-border higher education (CBHE) has taken centre stage in the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC). There has been increased trade in higher education services among member states of the SADC. This has necessitated regional regulatory cooperation in quality assurance and accreditation. SADC has established the Southern African Quality Assurance Network as a regional network of external quality assurance agencies. This paper presents a framework that can be used to enhance regulatory cooperation within the Network on quality assurance in higher education with special focus on CBHE. The paper identifies the main areas of focus as people mobility, institutional and programme mobility, accreditation and registration and recognition of academic credentials. Proposed mechanisms for regulatory cooperation include regional credit accumulation and transfer system, regional qualifications framework, framework for accreditation and registration of foreign providers and framework for recognition of academic credentials. 相似文献
