Video
In the context of the sustained growth and diversification of higher education systems, society’s concerns about the quality of the education offered to the students are increasing. The goal of the OECD-IMHE study on Quality teaching is to highlight effective quality initiatives and mechanisms and to push forward reflection or practices that may in turn help other institutions to improve the quality of their teaching and thereby, the quality of their graduates. In participating in the project, the institutions take part in an international review that collects information and benchmarks for their own purpose regarding the quality of their teaching.
Project implementation
The project is being implemented in 2 phases: a first phase overviewing the institutional initiatives and policies aimed at enhancing the quality of teaching, and a second phase that explores in more detail the institutional experiences and approaches to quality teaching.
