  • 北歐四國高等教育品質保證與評鑑機制之研究

    中文摘要

    本研究主要在探討北歐四國高等教育品質保證與評鑑之發展,透過對歐洲整體脈絡的探究與分析,分析丹麥、芬蘭、挪威以及瑞典在高等教育方面的品質保證與評鑑機制之實施情形。
    本研究之結論如下:
    壹、歐洲脈絡方面
    一、歐洲各國透過各項宣言及重要文件的公佈,目前已建立共識,共同為發展「歐洲高等教育區」而努力;
    二、歐洲各國受到波隆納宣言的影響,目前高等教育學位系統進行重大的改革;
    三、「歐洲高等教育區」共同訂定並遵循一套品質保證的標準及方針,可以應用於高等教育機構及品質保證機構。
    貳、歐洲脈絡影響北歐四國方面
    一、北歐四國在品質保證的作法上各有其特色,目前為尋求相互流動及品質的相互認可,都逐漸走向波隆納宣言的架構;
    二、北歐四國皆有成立專責之品質保證機構,其運作與規劃已具有相當規模,並有立法定位權能兼備;
    三、北歐四國的高等教育機構在品質保證目標之策略及特色方面,各有自主的傑出作法。
    本研究之建議如下:
    壹、提升「歐洲高等教育區」,應加強世界各區域之行銷;
    貳、高等教育系統之改革應為點滴工程,循序漸進不可躁進;
    參、應用高等教育品質保證之標準與方針時,應注意各國社會文化背景脈絡;
    肆、加強各國之間品質保證工作的相互交流,促進良性互動關係,並應注重高等教育的動態發展,彈性調整作法。

    關鍵詞:北歐四國、高等教育、品質保證、評鑑
