On quality assurance in doctoral education

Nerad, Maresi (avtor), Kanjuo-Mrčela, Aleksandra (avtor)

Over the last two decades, quality assurance in doctoral education has become increasingly important for governmental higher education agencies, research councils and universities. It is an arena where many competing interests are converging to affect policy and to set standards. The ‘Cautionary tale from South Africa’ of this book’s prologue is an excellent reminder of the complexity of the many dimensions involved in assuring the quality of doctoral education. Chapter 4 is particularly relevant for those who are involved in any dimension of assessing doctoral programmes and who want to understand the process for the purpose of improving the value of doctoral education and research training to the individual, their institution and country/region in an ever-changing complex world and with changing actors. This chapter points to the two dominant approaches of the quality assurance process, one based on the value of regulatory assurance focusing on compliance and sanctions, the other emphasises the use of formative feedback to bring improvement. It presents three detailed and several brief region and country case examples of quality assurance practices. This chapter expands on Hannover Recommendation 6 and specifically 6d: 6. Advance the institutional environment for doctoral education continuously. 6. d) foster transparent processes which can be judged by clear and credible quality assurance processes for accountability to and transparency for all stakeholders.
