本文探讨了高等教育质量保证影响评价的理论视角和一般方法要素，认为这是高等教育质量发展的基石，有助于提高对质量保证有效性（或无效性）的认识。所建议的核心方法包括与质量保证措施同时进行的比较和纵向研究，并依靠调查和混合方法。该方法适用于任何特定的质量保证程序和高等教育机构的任何成绩领域。为了圆满的方法介绍，因果设计，特别是因果的社会机制，在高等教育机构的质量保证的影响分析及其挑战和限制概述和调查问卷建设的一些特点。
In this paper, the theoretical perspectives and general methodological elements of impact evaluation of quality assurance in higher education institutions are discussed, which should be a cornerstone of quality development in higher education and contribute to improving the knowledge about the effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of quality assurance. The suggested core methodology consists in comparative and longitudinal studies carried out simultaneously to the quality assurance interventions and relying on surveys and mixed methods. The methodology is applicable to any particular quality assurance procedure and any achievement area of higher education institutions. To round off the methodology presentation, an overview of causal designs, in particular causal social mechanisms, for impact analyses of quality assurance in higher education institutions and its challenges and limits is outlined and some characteristics of survey questionnaire construction are given.
