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.

Software SWOT Analysis

- Easy to use- Friendly intuitive interface for inserting data- Clearly structured-Possibility to attach files- Transparency of SPs.

- Problem of inserting data in two languages (now fixed) -Time consuming- A different interface (layout) for overview of other SPs is needed

-Can be used by different target groups: teachers, potential students, employers, etc.- Can help to monitor the quality of the SP-Can help to compare SPs of different universities- Can help to collect data for accreditation both national and international

- Faculty members can be reluctant to fill in the forms

Project Impact

KAUIR used the documents ‘DoQuP standards for quality assurance of study programmes in partner countries’ and ‘DoQuP information and data for quality assurance of study programmes in partner countries’ as guidelines for preparation to the national accreditation.

The document ‘Example of Documentation for Quality Assurance of Study Programmes consistent with the DoQuP Model’ helped to collect data for self-evaluation report for the accreditation

Documentation does not assure quality by itself, but it rises awareness in necessity of quality control and standards. It also ensures transparency of study programmes.

As Kazakhstan is involved in Bologna Process, the issues of standards, transparency, comparability of Study Programmes and quality in general are paid a great attention to. In this respect, the documentation of learning objectives, learning outcomes, educational process and management system is the essential part of QA of SP.
