The Operation Mechanisms of External Quality Assurance Frameworks of Foreign Higher Education and Implications for Graduate Education
Lin, Mengquan; Chang, Kai; Gong, Le
Chinese Education & Society, v49 n1-2 p72-85 2016
The higher education quality evaluation and assurance frameworks and their operating mechanisms of countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and the United States show that higher education systems, traditional culture, and social background all impact quality assurance operating mechanisms. A model analysis of these higher education quality assurance frameworks shows that quality assurance entities having clear and harmonious responsibilities and interest relations is a precondition to the good operation of higher education quality assurance mechanisms, and the model of internal self-discipline of the higher education institutions taking precedence and internal and external assurances integrating organically is a developing trend in higher education quality assurance.
