摘要

目的2010年,安大略省大学质量保证委员会成立,负责监督大学课程的质量,每所大学都负责制定机构质量保证目标。本研究的目的是评估质量保证程序在促进一家加拿大机构变革方面的有效性。设计/方法/方法为了更好地理解质量保证的影响,作者分析了女王大学所有学术项目的39份自学文件。还与主要利益相关者进行了焦点小组讨论,以深入了解完成这些自我学习所带来的制度变革。发现在对自我学习和焦点小组进行分析后,出现了三个主题作为完成自我学习的影响:教学与学习、身份与协作、资源分配和战略规划。这项研究表明,各部门完成的自我研究除了满足省级任务外,还有价值,因为它们可以有效地催化积极的制度变革。研究局限性/含义创建自学文件是为了机构质量保证过程,而不是本研究,因此限制了可以收集的数据。实际含义在本研究结束时,提供了四个考虑因素,以在审查和评估其他机构质量保证过程的影响时引发对话。原创性/价值据作者所知,这是第一次对自我研究进行分析,以评估质量保证过程。

Institutional change through departmental quality assurance self-studies
Purpose In 2010, the Ontario Universities Quality Assurance Council was established and became responsible for monitoring the quality of university programs, and each university was tasked with establishing institutional quality assurance purposes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the quality assurance process at facilitating change at one Canadian institution. Design/methodology/approach To better understand the impacts of quality assurance, the authors analyzed 39 self-study documents, which were completed for all academic programs at Queen’s University. Focus groups were also conducted with key stakeholders to gain more insights into the institutional change that resulted from completing these self-studies. Findings After the analysis of the self-studies and focus groups, three themes emerged as impacts of completing self-studies: teaching and learning, identity and collaboration and resource allocation and strategic planning. This study demonstrates that self-studies completed by departments have value beyond simply meeting the provincial mandate, as they are effective in catalyzing positive institutional change. Research limitations/implications The self-study documents were created for the purpose of institutional quality assurance process, not this research study, therefore limiting the data that could be collected. Practical implications Four considerations are provided at the end of this study to spark conversations at other institutions when reviewing and assessing the impact of their quality assurance processes. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first time self-studies have been analyzed to evaluate the quality assurance process.
