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 global marketplace and new technology are contributing to the rapid globalization of higher education. No longer is higher education provided solely within national borders. Transnational educational programmes, provided both by the higher education and the corporate sectors, can be found in multiple forms, provided both electronically and in traditional ways. Issues of quality, purpose, recognition, and responsibility abound in this new borderless educational arena, posing new challenges to the regulatory communities of accreditation, certification, and licensure, the three pillars of heretofore national quality and competency assurance among the professions of the world. It is the globalization of the professions and the need to provide common professional preparation which is the fastest moving justification for regional and global standards setting and accreditation. Institutions of higher education and their quality assurance processes that have already considered the need to incorporate regional or global standards of quality to improve internal competency and external competition will be in a better position to propel the purposes of the various trade agreements than those that have remained nationalistic and myopic in scope. 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

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

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

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

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

As the numbers of international students have grown, higher education institutions in Asia have offered a growing range of English medium instruction (EMI) degree programs. But Asian governments and higher education institutions have not thought deeply about how to ensure quality of English medium instruction degree programs. At the same time, their accreditors have not been fully aware of how to establish an external quality assurance mechanism to measure the quality of these programs. This study’s main purpose is to put the quality of the EMI degree programs of Taiwan higher education institutions into the perspective of the Taiwan’s institutions and one local Taiwan accreditor. With both qualitative and quantitative approaches, a survey targeting Taiwan’s colleges and universities and interviews of Higher Education Evaluation & Accreditation Council of Taiwan international reviewers and Asian higher education experts are used to examine the challenges of EMI implementation in Taiwan universities and the role of local accreditors playing in reviewing the English medium instruction degree programs. 相似文献

At a time when higher education is being pushed not only to increase efficiencies to provide greater value and to innovate to meet new global challenges, processes of accountability and accreditation to demonstrate quality may be leading to conformance and a one-size-fitsall model of what institutions and programs should be. Further, in the public marketplace, rankings are increasingly viewed as key quality indicators not only for students and their parents in making educational choices, but to administrators who perceive these as important for their institutions’ futures and funding. The influence of markets and accountability policy as increasingly major drivers of change impacting the field of educational technology are reviewed from historical and current perspectives. Leadership roles that the Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) and its members might develop in response to these expanding pressures are proposed which may lead to higher visibility for the field, greater policy advocacy, and new research agendas. In particular, the issues of quality assessments and visibility are viewed for ensuring higher education programs in the educational technology field continue to provide excellence and value to future professionals. 相似文献

In recent years, the world of engineering education has been changing rapidly. Emerging communication technologies offer new means of distance education, the job market is getting narrower and increasingly competitive, and numerous stakeholders are concerned about the quality of education the students receive. To offer quality assurance to interested parties and the general public, engineering faculties in the US and Canada undergo accreditation processes, fostered by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board, which are professional boards. However, some university-level institutions in Europe have turned to the ISO 9000 family of international standards as a framework for quality assurance. This paper provides an outline of these three quality assurance schemes, followed by a comparison of their common elements. It is argued that engineering faculties can establish meaningful ISO 9000 quality systems on the basis of, and integrated with, the accreditation schemes. Finally, recent European initiatives for quality assurance in engineering education are addressed. 相似文献

This article presents a critical–political discourse analysis of the media debate over quality assurance in higher education, which occurred in Chile after the 2011 student movement. Students criticized the privatization of higher education and the multiple flaws of this sector, which included corruption scandals during the process of quality assurance certification. After the end of the movement, the government announced a new quality assurance system, triggering public discussion over this issue in the media. The most influential newspapers and educational authorities participated actively in this debate. Through editorials and columns, these education agents constructed quality assurance discursively as a domain for experts, who have to design and administer quality standards for all educational institutions and actions. These procedures regulate and discipline educational practices, but professors and students are excluded from this debate. Thus, this quality assurance discussion reproduces the traditional neoliberal power relations in education and does not problematize the role of education in society. 相似文献

Higher Education Evaluation & Accreditation Council of Taiwan (HEEACT) was established in 2005 and began to accredit 76 four-year
comprehensive universities and colleges in Taiwan in 2006. Commissioned officially with a dual mission, HEEACT has been encouraged
to conduct various ranking research projects, including global and national ones starting in 2007. One of the HEEACT’s most
influential rankings is “Performance Ranking of Scientific Papers for World Universities.” Given the fact that more and more
national accrediting bodies are developing ranking systems, these dual roles like in the HEEACT case have led to many discussions
and raised severe criticism in the quality assurance community due to their different aims and approaches. Therefore, the
purposes of the paper are to provide an understanding of the functions of varying quality assessment tools in higher education,
to analyze their impact on Taiwan higher education and to examine the conflicting roles of HEEACT while conducting both accreditation
and rankings over the institutions that have been granted the two major national Research and Teaching Excellence Programs. 相似文献
