Description

This book reflects some of the debate following publication of the 1991 Further and Higher Education Bill, and it also draws on preliminary findings of a national research project funded by a partnership of government, business, and higher education that was designed to develop and test quality assessment methods. Chapters are organized in three sections: "What Is Quality in Higher Education?"; "Models from Within British Higher Education"; and "Models from Beyond British Higher Education." Chapter titles are: (1) "What Is Quality in Higher Education? Concepts, Policy and Practice" (Diana Green); (2) "Quality in Higher Education: A Funding Council Perspective" (William H. Stubbs); (3) "Defining and Measuring the Quality of Teaching" (Baroness Pauline Perry); (4) "Inspecting Quality in the Classroom: An HMI Perspective" (Terry Melia); (5) "Quality Audit in the Universities" (Carole Webb); (6) "Quality and its Measurement: A Business Perspective" (Jim Finch); (7) "Royal Mail: Developing a Total Quality Organization" (Ian Raisbeck); (8) "Quality in Higher Education: An International Perspective" (Malcolm Frazer); and (9) "Looking Ahead" (Diana Green). (Chapters contain endnotes.) (JLS)
