美国高等教育认证制度的功能分析 总被引：7，自引：0，他引：7
认证制度作为美国高等教育的一种质量保障制度在高等教育内部以及高等教育与社会、政府的关系中具有多重功能.在高等教育内部,认证制度为高等教育市场提供了基本的标准,对市场的自由竞争起着一定的制约作用.同时,认证制度又是一种内在的统一协调力量,使地方分权管理的美国高等教育能够在必要的时候协调一致应对来自自身和社会环境的各种挑战.在与政府的关系中,认证制度是一种政府管理的重要媒介,也是对政府管理的一种制衡.认证制度与政府之间既有联合合作的一面,又有对抗抵制的一面.在与社会的关系中,认证制度成为高等教育向社会传递信息之窗,同时也是社会公众参与高等教育管理之门.社会则需要认证制度提供关于院校和专业的信息,也通过认证制度参与高等教育的质量管理. 相似文献

高等教育质量保障的法律规制是大学法研究的前沿议题,以德国与美国为代表的两大法律体系,分别被纳入公法规制与普通法规制的范畴。在德国,高等教育认证行为属于行政行为,高校与认证代理机构之间的纠纷属于公法争议。申诉、行政诉讼与宪法诉愿等公法救济机制,构成德国高等学校与认证代理机构之间纠纷的解决渠道。如何避免认证对学术自由构成侵害,已成为德国公法学界与实务界关注的核心议题。受联邦宪法法院大学课程认证裁定的影响,德国高等教育认证体系正在进行深刻变革与调整。在美国,高等教育认证机构具有非营利性组织的法律地位,须履行诚实信用以及基本的正当程序等普通法的一般义务。高等教育认证机构对“认证联邦化”的抵制以及高等教育机构对认证决定的抱怨或不满,构成美国高等教育质量保障纠纷的焦点议题。穷尽内部救济与“司法终局性”原则,被视为美国高等教育质量保障纠纷的解决机制。德美两国在高等教育质量保障法律纠纷的解决中形成的经验和教训,对我国明确高等教育质量保障机构的法律地位、强化高等教育质量保障的程序正义、建全高等教育质量的多元纠纷解决机制具有重要启示。 相似文献

美国高等教育认证制度是在美国社会和高等教育发展中自然成长起来的,并不断地将高等教育内外的合理成分吸收进来,随时进行着相应的调整.三种类型的认证机构所开展的六种基本的认证活动指向两个核心目标:关于学校的机构目标和关于公众的公共目标.美国高等教育认证制度经过百余年的发展,逐步形成了自律性、自治性、未来导向性、多样性与统一性共存、与美国文化精神的一体性等特点.它为中国高等教育质量保障制度建设提供了有益的启示:制度建设应深深地扎根于自己的母体文化和历史土壤中;始终恪守自己的核心功能与价值;区分学术权力与政治权力的行使空间;把握制度变革的均衡性;注意国际经验吸收的适宜性. 相似文献

The slow process of introducing a system of quality control and accreditation into Polish higher education since the political changes of 1990 is described. The decentralization of the state system of higher education in reaction to communist over‐centralization and the growing number of private institutions of higher education have made some system of quality control and accreditation operating at national level necessary. A TEMPUS project,” Advice for the Ministry of National Education on the Organization of a National Higher Education Accreditation Centre”, is described. The need for additional research on aspects of quality evaluation in higher education is recognized. 相似文献

Using Foucault’s power concepts of the panopticon and governmentality as analytic and heuristic tools, this study reveals insights into how accreditation creates power networks in the quality assurance of higher education graduates in South Africa. The study draws on 11 in-depth interviews with academics from the Faculty of Engineering at a university of technology, and comprehensive documentary analysis, as the main sources of data to demonstrate that quality assurance is not neutral or apolitical, but legitimises the positions of those with power through accreditation. This study establishes that the Engineering Council of South Africa epitomises the centred power of a panopticon surveillance system through its various supervisory mechanisms, such as site visits. On the other hand, there is clear evidence of governmentality notions in which the locus of power has been decentralised and internalised in the governed by giving them autonomy and responsibilities in certain aspects of the engineering curriculum. This study has important theoretical and practical implications for the field of higher education and the circulation of professional qualifications. Caution must be taken to ensure that the curriculum is not narrowly centred on the interests of the powerful labour market but responsive to other societal and student needs. 相似文献

Experiences from the step-wiseimplementation of the Norwegian national systemfor quality assurance and accreditation providethe empirical base for discussing (1) thereadiness among higher education institutionsto take an active share in the national systemand (2) the potential of a national qualityassurance and accreditation system to fulfil adouble aim of controlling and enhancingquality. The findings indicate that akey element for a successful implementation ofthe new system is the institutions' ownunderstanding of the rationale behind thesystem. Internal evaluations, annual reportsand quantitative institutional basic data mustbe considered and also used by theinstitutional leaders and the academic staffmembers as ``tools' for meaningful internalquality work and not just looked upon asstrange elements requested from ``above'. Theinstitutions' quality work must be considered acrucial ``instrument' for strategic managementof the entire institution. 相似文献

Abstract One issue facing countries in transition concerns how to ensure quality for a broader and more diverse set of institutions. Quality assurance processes (i.e. accreditation, accountability and assessment) have particular relevance today as higher education undergoes dramatic changes in countries in transition, as the world becomes more internationalised, and as private higher education institutions increase in number and enrol increasing numbers of students. Three questions emerge. Do differences among transition countries relative to central control prior to independence explain the current set of quality assurance mechanisms? Has the growth of private higher education in transition countries affected how quality assurance is conceptualised? Have quality assurance mechanisms been affected by the opening of branch campuses in transition countries? 相似文献

Pressures on American higher education for assessment and accountability are increasing. Non-governmental accreditation provides an effective threshold measure of institutional and programme content and quality; however, both institutional and programme accreditation have problems that are being addressed within higher education. Commercial rankings have emerged to meet consumer demand for more information, but these endeavours have flaws, some of which are inherent in the commercial nature of these activities. The National Research Council (NRC) and the Association of American Universities (AAU) are engaged in efforts to improve the assessment of research doctorate programmes and, generally, of measures of quality in higher education and research. 相似文献

There has been considerable interest in national quality assurance process in Turkey following the pilot accreditation project of the Engineering College of the Middle East Technical University (METU) by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), in 2000. ABET accreditation of the Engineering Colleges of Bosphorus and Bilkent Universities followed that of METU. These universities use their accreditation by ABET to attract the best students in the country. Newly founded private universities, in particular, are trying to use the accreditation of their programmes by international accreditation agencies for marketing purposes. The Higher Educational Council [Yuksek Ögretim Kurumu (YÖK)], which governs all the universities in Turkey, is currently promoting accreditation studies to improve the quality of higher education in the universities. This is a report on accreditation processes in higher education in Turkey. 相似文献

跨国高等教育质量认证问题牵涉到各国的文化与传统,因而,迄今为止还没有出现一个国际间认可且具有约束力的认证机制。基于不同文化、传统的各国高等教育质量认证机制的巨大差异成为跨国高等教育发展不可愈越的障碍。在克服这一障碍的过程中,形成了跨国高等教育质量认证的四种模式,即基于国家质量认证系统、基于双边或多边认证、基于后认证和基于国际质量认证的认证模式。纵观四种模式,每一种模式都有其特殊的问题,基于双边或多边认证的模式发展最为迅速．而国际性的质量认证模式还不可能成为主流。 相似文献

This paper provides a study of the quality assurance and accreditation in the Jordanian higher education sector and focuses mainly on engineering education. It presents engineering education, accreditation and quality assurance in Jordan and considers the Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST) for a case study. The study highlights the efforts undertaken by the faculty of engineering at JUST concerning quality assurance and accreditation. Three engineering departments were accorded substantial equivalency status by the Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology in 2009. Various measures of quality improvement, including curricula development, laboratories improvement, computer facilities, e-learning, and other supporting services are also discussed. Further assessment of the current situation is made through two surveys, targeting engineering instructors and students. Finally, the paper draws conclusions and proposes recommendations to enhance the quality of engineering education at JUST and other Jordanian educational institutions. 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

The debate concerning quality assurance in higher education is frequently conducted in terms originating outside the culture of academic institutions, such as ‘fitness for purpose’ and ‘meeting customer expectations’, which are often experienced as jarring with traditional conceptions of higher education. However, quality assurance issues surrounding the accreditation of work‐based learning within academic awards suggest how these terms may serve to pose some useful general challenges to current modes of assessment. In particular, the recognition of the need to be as precise as possible about anticipated learning outcomes, characteristic of procedures for accrediting work‐based learning, offers some useful lessons in managing the quality of traditionally taught courses. 相似文献
