摘要

目的本文旨在以伊玛目-阿卜杜勒-拉赫曼-本-费萨尔大学(IAU)为案例,探讨当质量理念与实践工作之间出现差距时,将学生评估(SA)的内部质量制度化的最佳做法。研究限制/影响本研究使用的数据来自非正式观察和自我报告。社会影响仅靠自上而下的方法不足以保证和提高南澳大利亚州的实践质量,因此通过参与和培训赋予教师权力是不可避免的。原创性/价值本实践案例中描述的南澳大利亚大学的质量保证使其成为该地区的领先大学,为南澳大利亚大学的外部质量保证做出了贡献,增强了沙特毕业生在劳动力市场上竞争的能力,正如《2030 年远景规划》所期望的那样,并为有关高等教育背景下南澳大利亚大学质量保证的文献增添了新的内容。

Improving the quality of student assessment practices: a Saudi University case study

Purpose

This paper aims to explore the best practices to institutionalize the internal quality of student assessment (SA) when a gap emerges between quality conceptualization and practice work, using Imam Abdul Rahman bin Faisal University (IAU) as a case study.

Design/methodology/approach

A single-embedded case study research design chronologically presents key events of assuring and improving SA at IAU. It integrates quantitative and qualitative data to provide empirical evidence of changes in SA practices.

Findings

Over three years, evident improvements in SA practices resulted in more effective internal quality assurance strategies (e.g., faculty involvement) and the achievement of performance indicators.

Research limitations/implications

This study used data from informal observation and self-reports. Thus, it is suggested that future research should use in-depth (e.g. focus group) and diverse data sources from stakeholders (e.g. students) and use emerging global trends to assess SA quality.

Practical implications

Involving faculty as changing agents via accountability and training in assuring and improving SA quality leads to measurable improvements.

Social implications

A top-down approach alone is insufficient to assure and improve the quality of SA practices, so empowering faculty via involvement and training is inevitable.

Originality/value

The quality assurance of SA described in this practice-oriented case places IAU as a leading university in the region, contributes to the external quality assurance of SA, empowers Saudi graduates to compete in the labor market as aspired in Vision 2030 and adds to the literature on quality assurance of SA in a higher education context.
