Abstract

ABSTRACT This study aims to investigate Turkish higher education students’ participation behaviours in quality assurance systems. The data were collected from 113 students through a semi-structured qualitative questionnaire developed based on the theory of planned behaviour. The data were analysed under three main themes: feelings, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control. According to the results, students generally had positive opinions concerning their feelings about the quality assurance system and had positive subjective norms. However, the results for these two aspects indicated implementation-based passive participation rather than decision-based active participation. Challenges in behavioural control and ways of coping with these challenges were observed. The overall results has revealed the behavioural basis of student participation in quality assurance processes. In addition, the results can contribute to policy improvement processes in the higher education system and quality assurance activities for higher education institutions.

基于计划行为理论的高等教育学生参与质量保证过程的调查:以土耳其为例

本研究旨在调查土耳其高等教育学生在质量保证体系中的参与行为。数据是通过一份基于计划行为理论的半结构化定性问卷从113名学生中收集的。这些数据是根据三个主题进行分析的:感觉、主观规范和感知行为控制。结果显示，学生对质量保证体系的感受普遍持积极态度，主观规范也较为积极。然而，这两个方面的结果表明基于实施的被动参与而不是基于决策的主动参与。观察了行为控制方面的挑战和应对这些挑战的方法。总体结果揭示了学生参与质量保证过程的行为基础。此外，研究结果还有助于高等教育系统的政策改进过程和高等教育机构的质量保证活动。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
