Stakeholders' Cooperation in the Study Programme Quality Assurance: Theory and Practice in Lithuania
Pileicikiene, Nora
Quality of Higher Education, v8 p132-157 2011
The cooperation of various stakeholders' groups is a prerequisite to develop and realise high-quality study programmes, i.e. during studies to develop skills that are relevant to the labour market and social life. In order to achieve effective stakeholders' cooperation, it is necessary to identify stakeholder's groups relevant to a study programme and to ascribe activity (expertise) functions according to the fields of their competence. Data from the research of the managers' experience of 15 Lithuanian higher education institutions and 15 Lithuanian employer companies/organisations reveal various problems related to stakeholders' cooperation when assuring quality of learning outcomes based study programmes.
