本文从德国、芬兰和罗马尼亚的三所高等教育机构(学生、教师、质量管理人员)的角度，介绍了质量保证影响分析的方法、经验和期望。三个样本机构的介绍集中讨论了所应用的质量保证程序的核心特征及其预期和观察到的影响，以及如何衡量预期和非预期的不良影响。事实证明，所有样本机构都已有一些工具和子程序用于质量保证的影响分析，所有这些机构都在努力通过应用内部和外部质量保证程序和影响分析来进一步改进。最后，仔细看看最近修订的《欧洲高等教育质量保证标准和指导方针》就会发现，欧洲的样本机构正在朝着连贯一致的质量保证政策前进，同时还有进一步改进和调查的余地(例如，在实施系统的影响评估方法和总体质量政策方面)。
This paper reports on methodological approaches, experiences and expectations referring to impact analysis of quality assurance from the perspective of three higher education institutions (students, teaching staff, quality managers) from Germany, Finland and Romania. The presentations of the three sample institutions focus on discussing the core characteristics of quality assurance procedures applied and their expected and observed impacts, and how intended and non-intended undesirable ones are measured. It turns out that all sample institutions have already some instruments and sub-procedures in place for impact analysis of quality assurance and all of them are striving for further improvement by applying internal and external quality assurance procedures and impact analyses. Finally, a closer look at the recently revised Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area shows that the European sample institutions are on their way towards coherent quality assurance policies, while there is also room left for further improvement and investigation (for example, in implementing systematic methodologies of impact evaluation and quality policies in general).
