Comparative Studies on the re-establishment of internal quality assurance system and its effective operation in university

该研究项目旨在调查目前有关大学内部质量保证的政策和实践，并阐明日本大学如何重新建立和有效运作自己的内部质量保证体系。为此，我们查阅了以往的相关研究，采访了美国、英国、澳大利亚、一些欧盟国家和日本的大学和质量保证机构的人士，并举办了教育管理国际研讨会，讨论了一些先进国家的内部质量保证体系。本研究项目揭示了在院校层面建立以学位课程为中心的内部质量保证体系的重要性，在该体系中，以数据收集和分析为基础，建立教育发展和提高功能。

The research project aimed to investigate the current policies and practice regarding internal quality assurance within universities and clarify how Japanese universities re-establish and effectively operate their own internal quality assurance systems. To achieve this objective, we examined the previous related studies, interviewed people at universities and quality assurance agencies in the US, the UK, Australia, some EU countries and Japan, and held the international seminar on educational management and discussed the internal quality assurance system in some advanced countries. This research project reveals the importance to develop an internal quality assurance system centered around a degree program on the institutional level, in which educational development and enhancement functions based on the data collection and analysis are put in place.
