Abstract

The purpose of this research is to analyze the origin, evolution, performance and trends of higher education quality assurance systems in the following European countries: Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Austria, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Netherlands, United Kingdom and France. It also studies the performance and impact of the organizations that join the European Quality Assurance Agencies together. The main sources of data collection were in situ semi-structured interviews to members of these agencies. It was found that in higher education institutions there is a strong trend towards the development of ‘internal quality assurance systems' in response to the public policies known as 'quality audits'. This overview about what is taking place in Europe may provide innovative instruments that could be considered for higher education quality evaluation and accreditation in Latin-American countries: quality audits, disciplinary agencies, evaluation of the quality assurance agencies, among others.

高等教育质量保证体系——以欧洲院校为例:起源、演变和趋势

本研究旨在分析丹麦、挪威、瑞典、芬兰、奥地利、意大利、瑞士、德国、荷兰、英国和法国等欧洲国家高等教育质量保证体系的起源、演变、绩效和趋势。它还研究了加入欧洲质量保证机构的组织的绩效和影响。数据收集的主要来源是对这些机构成员的现场半结构化访谈。研究发现，在高等教育机构中，有一种发展“内部质量保证系统”的强烈趋势，以响应被称为“质量审计”的公共政策。关于欧洲正在发生的情况的概述可以为拉丁美洲国家的高等教育质量评价和认证提供可考虑的创新手段:质量审计、纪律机构、质量保证机构的评价等等。
