Europos aukštojo mokslo erdvės kūrimas skatina šio kontinento aukštąsias mokyklas susimąstyti apie aukštojo mokslo konkurencingumo ir jo vertės didinimą. Tai pasiekti Lietuvos aukštosios mokyklos gali tik nuolat gerindamos studijų kokybę,savo įvaizdį ir reputaciją. Šiame straipsnyje aptariamos bendrosios studijų kokybės ir įvaizdžio gerinimo aukštosiose mokyklose teorinės prielaidos, jas iliustruojant tyrimų, kurie buvo atlikti visame Vilniaus universitete ir atskirai Ekonomikosfakultete, duomenimis. Visuose Vilniaus universiteto padaliniuose 2005–2006 m. atlikome keturis didelio masto tyrimus (įvertinome vidinį Vilniaus universiteto įvaizdį, studentų požiūrį į studijų kokybę, pradedančiųjų studijuoti Universitete ir jų tėvų lūkesčius, tų lūkesčių pokyčius po pirmojo studijų pusmečio) ir identifikavome pagrindines problemines sritis. Siekdami nustatyti šių problemų priežastis, mėginome pažvelgti dar giliau – atlikome tyrimą viename Vilniaus universiteto padalinyje (Ekonomikos fakultete), kuriuo aiškinomės, kokie veiksniai daro įtaką aukštosios mokyklos įvaizdžiui ir kaip Universiteto įvaizdis siejasi su siūlomų studijų kokybe.Reikšminiai žodžiai: studijų kokybė, įvaizdis, aukštoji mokykla.The impact of study quality on the image of a higher education institutionBirutė Galinienė, Algirdas Miškinis, Albinas Marčinskas, Greta Drūteikienė SummaryIssues concerning the image and reputation strengthening of higher education institutions have recently been given an important consideration in Lithuania and other European countries. In the article we will discuss the fundamentals of the university education quality and image strengthening in theoretical premises, and illustrate them using data of studies performed at the Vilnius University. The research results demonstrate that the quality of studies is the main factor in determining the image of a higher education institution. Key words: study quality, image, higher education institution.

Ghana’s education system has gone through several reforms in the post-independence period in the bid to increase access, ensure equity and quality at all levels (basic to tertiary). However, these goals seem to be a mirage especially on issues concerning quality at the secondary and tertiary levels. Against this backdrop, it has become imperative to raise relevant questions for the development of a new synthesis that is practical enough to allow for the necessary action to push forward the quality discourse which is a major concern among stakeholders. This paper intends to at least, serve the purpose of refreshing our memories concerning how we have individually or collectively, as citizens and academics, pondered over free secondary education, quality education and the role of the university teacher within the melting pot of the quality discourse in Ghana. It also serves the purpose of instigating a discourse on teachers’ role in ensuring quality education.

The University is the cradle of the higher education. In the college life, the college students continue to accept the new knowledge and continue to grow. Obviously, the level of the university education will be directly related to the growth for the college students. Therefore, it is an important job to evaluate and order the college education quality. In this paper, we combine the Grey theory, TOPSIS with DEA method. And we propose an improved Grey-TOPSIS-DEA model. Then, we use the model to evaluate the college education quality. Finally, we get the rankings of the college education. In the last part of this paper, we use the method to evaluate the education quality for different colleges. And we verify the validity of the method.

There is a difference between doing something well and doing something good. And there is a difference between failing to do something well, and failing to do something good. In this paper, I assess our contemporary University in the latter sense of failure. While the University can be ineffective, or fail to function well, there is more at stake if the University, as an institution, is in conflict with nature. That is, it is one thing for the University to be ineffective in its means, but here I will pose the question: is the contemporary University sinful? Using Josef Pieper's elucidation of moral failure and John Henry Newman's analysis of the proper ends of University education, I defend the thesis that because the aim of our contemporary University seems to come in conflict with the goal of nature as a whole, it may be understood as sinful.

In recent years, providing higher education in the form of work-based learning has become more important in the higher education (HE) policy and practice almost in all EU countries. Work-based learning (WBL) in HE should support the development of competences of self-guided learners and adjust the university education better to the needs of the workplace. The study is based on two pilot projects of WBL in HE in Estonia: Tourism and Restaurant Management professional HE programme and the master’s programme in Business Information Technology. The model of integrative pedagogy, based on the social-constructivist learning theory, is taken as a theoretical foundation for the study. A qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with the target groups. The data analysis used a horizontal analysis to find cross-cutting themes and identify patterns of actions and connections. It appears, that the challenge for HE is to create better cooperation among stakeholders; the challenge for workplaces is connected with better involvement of students; the challenge for students is to take more initiative and responsibility in communication with workplaces.
