Quality In Higher Education

This paper analyzes recent changes in teacher assessment policies in higher education institutions in Mexico. Procedures for faculty assessment in a typical Mexican state University are analyzed with the purpose of generating insights helpful to construct a fair, pertinent and expedite assessment system. We review guidelines to assess teachers, specifically those with the purpose of keeping or firing the teacher even after tenure is achieved.  These new regulations are seen as a key policy to improve quality in higher education.  However, implications to faculty moral, organization climate and conflict with existing labor laws have not been fully considered. It is argued that excessive federal and local regulations are, in fact, unable to ponder the complexities of academic life. We conclude that instead of more regulations and complicated normative, focus on qualitative peer assessment should be considered as means of effective faculty assessment.

Governmental Control

Higher education in Flanders has seen some major changes in the 1990s. One of the key elements of the new higher education regulations was the quality assessment system. This exemplified best the government's policy of granting all institutions of higher education autonomy, making them responsible for their policies, while still keeping the quality of higher education somewhat under governmental control. In this article, we focus on the tension between the government's aim of improving and controlling the quality of higher education and universities ' concern for their autonomy. We describe the Flemish government's view on issues of quality in higher education and confront these with an account on the basis of case studies of how the quality assurance system was actually implemented in universities. We conclude that the model of the "market state" or the "evaluative state" is only realised partially in Flanders. The government is still interventionist when it comes to key policy issues

Compound intelligence in SDIT Padangsidimpuan can be seen from the Comprehensive Intelligence learning design, that the curriculum used is the Education Office curriculum developed into TEMA developed into Spider Web (spider web), then made SILABUS, developed into RPP. Implementation of Comprehensive Intelligence Learning means students are given the opportunity to use intelligence other than language and mathematics in the classroom, and teachers teach according to the style of student learning. Learning Evaluation uses the Observation assessment system, which is in accordance with the assessment of education in the 21st century, namely; 50% self-assessment, 30% peer assessment, and 20% teacher assessment. The Weakness of Comprehensive Intelligence Application in Padangsidimpuan SDIT is; some parents are less patient with the process SDIT is doing in learning, teachers are unable to represent all intelligence because they are not used to teaching with this concept. The significance of the application of Compound Intelligence is: The application of Comprehensive Intelligence in learning is very important, especially for children who are in development. Based on the learning design carried out, it was concluded that they had carried out the learning well, even though it was not yet maximal. Success can be seen from the achievement of the vision and mission of the school, but in terms of out put it is still relatively young to see results. That is, the results cannot be seen yet, because it is still in the experimental process to get results.

A number of external and internal factors that determine the depth and scale of transformation have effects on the development of the system of higher education.

The Latvian language as a foreign language (LATS) is learned both in Latvia and abroad. It can be done in higher education institutions, as well as in different courses and self-directed learning. Outside Latvia, there are many countries and higher education institutions where it is possible to acquire LATS. In some higher education institutions, the Latvian language has been taught since the beginning of the 20th century. The oldest LATS teaching traditions are in North America, Germany, Sweden, Lithuania and Australia. In some universities, such as Stockholm University, Masaryk University, Saint Petersburg State University, etc., academically strong study programs in Baltic Studies were established. Over time, study programs have been closed for various reasons, at most leaving the Latvian language as an optional course. At some universities, the Latvian language course has been discontinued. Although in some higher education institutions outside Latvia LATS could be acquired starting from the beginning of the 20th century, the most significant interest in the Latvian language was after the restoration of independence of the Republic of Latvia. Then many higher education institutions in Europe established Latvian language and culture study programs. This interest was related to the geopolitical situation. People tried to get to know the post-Soviet countries through the language. When Latvia joined the European Union, interest in the Latvian language decreased in Europe. Nowadays, interest in the Latvian language has increased in Asia, especially in China. In Asia, it is possible to acquire the Latvian language in China and Japan. There are established different Latvian language bachelor programs in universities of China while in Japan the Latvian language is taught for somebody interested in Latvian culture and traditions more than in the Latvian language.
