摘要本文是对《高等教育质量》自1995年创刊至今所发表论文的第二部分。这部分的检讨集中于校内质素保证、学与教的改善，以及评估质素保证的影响。在这样做的时候，审查还审查了关于质量提高工具的论文，如学生反馈调查，自20世纪90年代初以来，学生反馈调查在质量过程中发挥了越来越重要的作用。审查表明，质量保证导致了更清晰的文件和透明度，尽管外部流程可以更好地与日常学术活动保持一致。质量保证已成为一个国际关注的问题，程序也越来越标准化，跨越国界。值得注意的是，由政府和高级管理层推动的高等教育质量的消费主义方法并没有得到期刊撰稿人的热情，而且似乎对自治和学术自由有强烈的承诺。然而，论文表明，学术界容易产生惰性和顺从的冷漠。最后，审查表明，即使在15年后，质量保证体系是否真正提高了高等教育，这一点仍然不清楚。
ABSTRACT This is the second part of the review of the papers published in Quality in Higher Education from its inception in 1995 to the present day. This part of the review focuses on internal quality assurance, improvements in learning and teaching and assessments of the impact of quality assurance. In doing so, the review also examines papers about quality enhancement instruments such as student feedback surveys, which have played an increasingly prominent role in quality processes since the early 1990s. The review suggests that quality assurance has resulted in clearer documentation and transparency although external processes could be better aligned to everyday academic activity. Quality assurance has become an international concern and procedures have become increasingly standardised across national boundaries. Significantly, the consumerist approach to higher education quality that is driven by governments and senior management, has not met with enthusiasm from contributors to the journal and there appears to be a strong commitment to autonomy and academic freedom. However, papers indicate that academia is prone to inertia and compliant indifference. Ultimately, the review suggests that it is still not clear that, even after 15 years, quality assurance systems have really enhanced higher education.
