This chapter presents and discusses policies on education assessment in Brazil. A major evaluation system is examined regarding higher education (undergraduate and graduate). This evaluation system provides general guidelines and criteria for educational levels, and organizes evaluation procedures in diverse documents. Part of these documents includes evaluation in music education. The purpose of this chapter is to critically analyze documents that refer to the assessment of Brazilian education, discussing how such documents are interpreted and applied in practice. In general, the documents have internal coherence, and the main objective is to contribute to the quality of Brazilian education. However, the documents do not always interact with each other, which contributes to the partitioning of the assessment procedures throughout the education process.

New Guidelines

Higher education is undergoing a paradigm move from passive learning toward active learning. Student engagement is assumed to be a significant criterion and gauge for the quality of the student skill for higher education; however, in the literature, the term engagement remains to be vague to delineate, and it is construed in different ways. Since institutions accentuate preparing alumnae for life further than their education, student engagement has turned out to be a priority for music education, and within the last 5 years, the attention was drawn to “Students as Partners” as a response to “students as consumers” construct manipulating higher education theory. Concerning the literature review, the meaning of student engagement, determinants influencing it, and its merits are brought together. In conclusion, the implications of student engagement are presented, and new guidelines for future research are depicted.

University administered Student Evaluation of Teaching surveys, while used primarily by educators and their managers to review and improve the quality of courses and teaching, can also be used by universities’ marketing campaigns and websites as a means of stressing their institution’s student friendliness and responsiveness to students’ needs. Changes in assessment practices is one way that tertiary institutions are responding to students’ preferences. However, there is a lack of understanding of the underlying factors that moderate decisions about assessment changes. The purpose of this paper is to examine whether or not a meaningful body of research concerning student ‘choice’ in higher education assessment exists, and how the extent of student ‘choice’ may change in the future. Emphasis has been placed on the assessment methods adopted in law and professional degrees in Australia. However, a broad review of international research from other relevant higher education discipline areas has also been undertaken in this paper.

The paper studies peculiarities of introducing the course of “Fundamentals of Academic Writing,” into the Ukrainian education and scientific process. The integration of the Ukrainian science into the European space caused the necessity of including “Academic Writing” into the Ukrainian curricula. Fundamentals of a new academic discipline are represented through the prism of world and national achievements, which determine such concepts as “academic communication”, “academic etiquette”, “academic integrity”, “the quality of academic text”. This research focuses on the following major issues: What is the essence of “Academic Writing”? Is it a brand new course? How does it affect the ranking of higher education institutions? How should intertextual tools be used to keep the academic integrity? How does the level of English proficiency affect the quality of the Ukrainian scientific products? Is the course of “Academic Writing” a tribute to fashion or a vital necessity? It also investigates the peculiarities of academic fundamentals required for development of certain knowledge, skills and abilities of the Ukrainian language academic writing. The latter aims not only to promote academic integrity by following ethical principles and statutory rules that should guide the participants of the education process while studying, training and conducting research activities, but also to represent the concepts, strategies and tactics of organizing the processes of academic text creation, analysis and editing.

The evaluation of classroom teaching quality is closely related to the development of higher education as a scientific and effective evaluation system that can provide a solid foundation for formulating educational policies. Therefore, an evaluation model of classroom teaching quality in colleges and universities is established based on the fuzzy fault tree theory with “classroom teaching failure” as the top event to effectively evaluate the reliability of college classroom teaching and optimize the teaching strategies. In consideration of the lack of availability and dynamics of classroom teaching data, fuzzy numbers are used to describe the probability of underlying events. In addition, the top event probability of the fuzzy fault tree is calculated by the double-layer Monte Carlo method (MCM), which analyzes the classroom teaching effect based on the fuzzy fault tree reasonable. In summary, the quantitative evaluation system of classroom teaching quality based on fuzzy fault trees can evaluate classroom teaching more comprehensively and dynamically and help to improve the teaching quality of higher education.

The Evaluation System

El presente artículo tiene como objetivo analizar el Sistema de evaluación, seguimiento y acreditación de la calidad educativa en Venezuela. Se investiga si la creación de este sistema ha sido el resultado de una política enmarcada en la mejora de la calidad en la educación superior. La metodología utilizada fue un estudio documental aplicando la técnica del fichaje bibliográfico, a partir de la cual se desarrollaron los núcleos teóricos. A los fines del análisis, se planteó el trabajo en cuatro partes: la primera describe la  calidad educativa en las universidades venezolanas. En la segunda se refiere a la evaluación de las universidades venezolanas. En una tercera el sistema de evaluación, seguimiento y acreditación del sector universitario. Finalmente, se reflexiona acerca de los logros obtenidos en torno a la evaluación de las instituciones de educación superior y los desafíos pendientes que se consideran claves para alcanzar una educación superior de calidad.  Se concluye que a pesar de los múltiples intentos por parte de los organismos gubernamentales y las universidades, hasta el año 2016 son pocos los avances y resultados que permitan implantar un sistema para evaluar la calidad educativa de la educación superior venezolana. This article aims to analyze the evaluation system, monitoring and accreditation of educational quality in Venezuela. It investigates whether the creation of this system has been the result of a policy framed in the improvement of quality in higher education. The methodology used was a documentary study using the technique of bibliographic signing, from which the theoretical nuclei were developed. For the purposes of analysis, it was split into four parts: the first describes the quality of education in Venezuelan universities. The second part was about the evaluation of Venezuelan universities. The third was concerned about the evaluation system, monitoring and accreditation of the university sector. Finally, I reflect on the achievements regarding the evaluation of higher education institutions and the challenges that are considered key to achieving a higher quality education.
