Understanding standards‐based quality assurance: part II ‐ nuts and bolts of the “Dearing“ policy framework
Abstract
Examines the proposals made by the National Committee of Inquiry in Higher Education (Dearing Report) for a national quality assurance regime that is focused on academic standards. Provides a simple conceptual aid to explain relationships between the elements of the policy framework. Considers the methodologies that are being developed by the Quality Assurance Agency and the implications for institutional and academic practice. Identifies factors and issues that will need to be considered during policy development.
