Quality Assurance Quality Enhancement
Quality Assurance, Enhancement and Performance, 2012
Focus on teaching
Teaching as individual “performance”
“Top down” implementation by managers not active in teaching
Inflexible, non-negotiation approach based on “standards”
Little acknowledgement of the link between teaching and research
May undermine professional autonomy through monitoring and surveillance activity
Focuses on the teacher as individual practitioner
Emphasis on documentation
Focus on learning Learning as “Social practice”
Active engagement of senior staff and teachers during implementation
Flexible context-sensitive approach base on building professional knowledge
Seeks to establish links between teaching and research, through reflection on practice
Respects and values professional autonomy
Seeks to increase collaboration between teachers and across disciplines
Emphasis on discussion
Contrast between “Quality Assurance” approaches and “ Quality Enhancement” approaches

Academic standards : Academic standards are a way of describing the level of achievement that a student has to reach to gain an academic award (for example, a degree).
Academic quality : Academic quality is a way of describing how well the learning opportunities available to students help them to achieve their award. It is about making sure that appropriate and effective teaching, support, assessment and learning opportunities are provided for them.

Model of USBI’s QAEP
The internal evaluation is the corner stone of quality assurance in higher education.
The external evaluation is a condition of the credibility of the results of the internal evaluation.
External evaluators are accountable for the quality of USBI activities. BAN-PT ( National Accreditation Body )
Quality Assurance of Higher Education must synergize with Self-evaluation activities (EPSBED) and accreditation we know as the SPM-PT, EBSBED activities are directed into Higher Education Database (PDPT), while the activities of Quality Assurance and Accreditation, respectively called Internal Quality Assurance and External Quality Assurance

Accreditation Process by BAN-PT
The accreditation process began with the implementation of the study program self-evaluation in the course concerned. Self-evaluation refers to the self-evaluation guidelines that have been issued BAN-PT, however, if deemed necessary, the Head of the program of study (USBI) can add elements that will be evaluated in accordance with the interests of study programs and higher education institutions are concerned. From the results of the implementation of self-evaluation, and made an executive summary ,than the executive summary is attached to the petition for accreditation submitted to the secretariat of the BAN-PT.Quality Assurance, Enhancement and Performance,

Internal Quality Assurance Criteria Adopt from :Bruno Curvale - ENQA
a. Policy and procedures for quality assurance: Institutions should have a policy and associated procedures for the assurance of the quality and standards of their programmes and awards. They should also commit themselves explicitly to the development of a culture which recognises the importance of quality, and quality assurance, in their work. To achieve this, institutions should develop and implement a strategy for the continuous enhancement of quality. The strategy, policy and procedures should have a formal status and be publicly available. They should also include a role for students and other stakeholders.
b. Approval, monitoring and periodic review of programmes and awards: Institutions should have formal mechanisms for the approval, periodic review and monitoring of their programmes and awards.
c. Assessment of students: Students should be assessed using published criteria, regulations and procedures which are applied consistently. Quality Assurance, Enhancement and Performance,

Internal Quality Assurance Criteria (Cont’d)
d. Quality assurance of teaching staff: Institutions should have ways of satisfying themselves that staff involved with the teaching of students are qualified and competent to do so. They should be available to those undertaking external reviews, and commented upon in reports.

External Quality Assurance Criteria
Use of external quality assurance procedures for higher education: The external quality assurance of agencies should take into account the presence and effectiveness of the external quality assurance processes.
Official status: Agencies should be formally recognised by competent public authorities in the Indonesian Higher Education Area as agencies with responsibilities for external quality assurance and should have an established legal basis. They should comply with any requirements of the legislative jurisdictions within which they operate.
Activities: Agencies should undertake external quality assurance activities (at institutional or programme level) on a regular basis.
Resources: Agencies should have adequate and proportional resources, both human and financial, to enable them to organise and run their external quality assurance process(es) in an effective and efficient manner, with appropriate provision for the development of their processes and procedures.

External Quality Assurance Criteria (Cont’d)
Independence: Agencies should be independent to the extent both that they have autonomous responsibility for their operations and that the conclusions and recommendations made in their reports cannot be influenced by third parties such as higher education institutions, ministries or other stakeholders.

EXTERNAL REVIEW ADDING VALLUE
Quality Assurance, Enhancement and Performance, 2012
The provision of independent judgments on the quality of the learner experience and the production of published reports that are a rich source of learning for Faculty and University ; and
Professional engagement with staff in the course of external evaluation has a direct impact on promoting reflection and supporting the institution’s quality agenda.
