This book was released on 2009-04-29 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many resources are invested in the development and introduction of Quality Assurance Systems in educational institutions all over the world. Our assumption is that, as a result of quality assurance activities, practitioners obtain information about their own functioning and institutional performance which is new and valuable to them and which therefore will form a basis for them to improve performance. This assumption proves to be naïve; too often performance feedback is under-utilized, and evaluations become void, legitimizing rites instead of a basis for organizational learning and the improvement of institutions. The aim of this book was to find out when educational institutions do transform Quality Assurance data into actions to improve performance, and how the use of such data can be promoted. This volume reports on the study of Quality Assurance structures and activities in 36 educational institutes in 6 European Countries and presents guidelines for Quality Assurance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: UNESCO has been urging countries for the last decade to undertake initiatives to enhance Technical and Vocational Education and Training (VET) which should be a vital aspect of the educational process in all countries (UNESCO, 2001). This demand has driven countries to embark on their individual “quality missions” in an effort to uncover the best approach to embedding quality management into their reform programs. Quality implementation in VET has been approached differently depending on the countries' culture, their education systems, and their societies rules and values. This paper presents what quality, in general, means and some of the main concepts associated with its implementation and assurance. Additionally, the aim of this research is to gauge the concept of quality management in Vocational Education and Training (VET). Thirdly, this paper looks to disseminate what has been discovered and highlight paths that those concerned with VET are taking.

Download or read book Quality Debate in Initial Vocational Education written by Søren P. Nielsen and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the overall quality assurance framework for initial vocational education in Denmark and the Netherlands and 10 case studies on quality assurance initiatives at Dutch and Danish vocational colleges. Chapter 1 provides an overview of the policy context on quality. Chapter 2 views the quality debate from the perspective of the decentralization or deregulation of vocational education and training (VET) policies (from the government's point of view) and greater autonomy for colleges (from the school's point of view) during recent years. A general conceptual framework is offered for the description of the policy context, quality programs, and case studies. Chapter 3 describes the policy context of initial vocational education at the secondary level within which the quality initiatives of the vocational colleges are taking place. The Danish and the Dutch policy contexts are described separately, followed by a comparison between the countries that highlights similarities and differences in the contexts and programs of quality assurance. Chapter 4 presents 10 case studies describing and discussing the different ways chosen by Dutch or Danish vocational colleges to improve quality. Four case studies emphasize quality activities based on a program of external quality assurance; six place emphasis on fully inhouse quality systems and programs. Chapter 5 provides an evaluation of the implementation of school-based quality concepts in the two countries. Appendixes contain 17 references and background information about the national systems of VET. (YLB)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the outcome of the efforts of many professionals working both in academia and industry who have contributed to the proceedings of the International Conference on Quality Management Practices for Organizational Excellence . Organizational Excellence is a final product composed of two basic elements alloyed prudently by the members/stakeholders of an organization. These two basic elements are Strategy and Culture . When we talk of quality management practices, we have to pursue quality as a strategy and also quality as a culture . Quality as strategy is a conscious and deliberate search for a plan of action that will develop an organization's distinctive competence and compound it. Quality as culture is the amalgamation of behavior patterns of all the stakeholders in terms of beliefs, values, attitudes etc. In other words, quality management is the epicenter of the competitive organizations of the future in which strategy is the scientific pursuits and culture is the artistic artifacts. Numerous authors have put forth their logical thoughts, have articulated their concepts and have validated their hypothesis relating to quality management. The papers, which have found place in this book aim at creating values of quality management practices.
