本文探讨了英国高等教育卓越教学框架（TEF）的基础。高等教育格局的相关变化进行了讨论：2017年高等教育法案和创建一个新的高等教育监管机构，学生办公室。TEF如何工作以及TEF的一些后果进行了概述。除了讨论什么是卓越教学以及TEF本身试图发出的信号（包括研究生目的地）之外，我们还分析了选择指标来评估卓越教学的基础意识形态和逻辑，尽管伴随着对机构书面提交的同行小组评估，以确定黄金，银和青铜TEF结果。我们引入的概念TEF作为一个指数，而不是一个措施。有人认为，英国TEF的基础不是改善教学，而是在一个高度市场化的竞争体系中，在学生债务水平快速上升的情况下，努力使大学相互竞争。TEF政策被认为是高等教育教学质量的智能问责制度所需的功能。
This paper explores what underlies the recent introduction of a Higher Education Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) in England. Related changes to the higher education landscape are discussed: the 2017 Higher Education Act and creation of a new HE regulator, the Office for Students. How TEF works and some of the consequences of TEF are outlined. As well as discussing what constitutes teaching excellence and what TEF itself is attempting to signal (which includes graduate destinations), we also analyse the underpinning ideologies and logics of choosing metrics to assess teaching excellence, albeit accompanied by peer panel evaluation of institutional written submissions, in determining Gold, Silver and Bronze TEF outcomes. We introduce the notion of TEF as an index rather than a measure. It is suggested that what underlies the English TEF is not about improving teaching but rather an endeavour to pit universities against each other in a highly marketised competitive system with an oversupply of places, in which student debt levels are rising fast. TEF policy is considered with respect to features that would be required of an intelligent accountability system for higher education teaching quality.
