Investigation of the higher education students’ participation in quality assurance processes based on the theory of planned behaviour: a case of Turkey
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.
期刊介绍:
Quality in Higher Education is aimed at those interested in the theory, practice and policies relating to the control, management and improvement of quality in higher education. The journal is receptive to critical, phenomenological as well as positivistic studies. The journal would like to publish more studies that use hermeneutic, semiotic, ethnographic or dialectical research as well as the more traditional studies based on quantitative surveys and in-depth interviews and focus groups. Papers that have empirical research content are particularly welcome. The editor especially wishes to encourage papers on: reported research results, especially where these assess the impact of quality assurance systems, procedures and methodologies; theoretical analyses of quality and quality initiatives in higher education; comparative evaluation and international aspects of practice and policy with a view to identifying transportable methods, systems and good practice; quality assurance and standards monitoring of transnational higher education; the nature and impact and student feedback; improvements in learning and teaching that impact on quality and standards; links between quality assurance and employability; evaluations of the impact of quality procedures at national level, backed up by research evidence.
