‘Quality’ Time

http://chronicle.com/img/photos/biz/linguafranca-45.pngBy . Strolling about London on a recent vacation, I was gobsmacked to come upon this: The reason for my surprise was that, on my mother’s knee, I was taught that quality should not be used as an adjective but exclusively as a noun referring to a feature or characteristic of a person or thing.I haven’t been on my mother’s knee for a long time, but the injunction is still widespread. Bryan Garner’s entry on the word in Garner’s Modern American Usage reads, in its entirety: “When used as an adjective meaning ‘of high quality,’ this is a vogue word and a casualism <a quality bottling company>.

A door to higher education quality assurance’s future

http://enews.ksu.edu.sa/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/UWN.jpgBy Peter Williams. It is not often that an opportunity arises to see whether external quality assurance in higher education actually works.

La qualité de l'enseignement : un engagement des établissements, avec les étudiants ?

Dossier de veille de l'IFÉ : La qualité de l'enseignement : un engagement des établissements, avec les étudiants ?
n°93, juin 2014

Résumé : 
Le fait que l’évaluation de l’enseignement soit considérée comme constitutive de la qualité d’un établissement est assez récent en Europe : sa propagation est clairement un corollaire des travaux d’harmonisation menés dans le cadre du Processus de Bologne, même si certaines initiatives sont antérieures, alors qu’en Amérique du Nord, ces pratiques évaluatives se sont développées dès les années 1960, d’abord chez les étudiants, puis chez les enseignants, avant d’être institutionnalisées.
Pour garantir la qualité de leur enseignement, les établissements d’enseignement supérieur sont amenés à chercher des équilibres à trois niveaux interdépendants (l'institution, les formations et les acteurs, enseignants et étudiants), et à composer avec leurs contraintes externes et leurs potentiels internes pour à la fois développer une culture de l’auto-évaluation, maintenir une offre de formation de qualité et soutenir l’enseignement et l’apprentissage.
