“…The effectiveness, efficiency, excellencies, and perfection have been used synonymously for the quality of higher education (Darling-Hammond, 2020). There is considerable debate on how to constitute quality in higher education due to its multidimensional nature (McCowan, 2018;Prisacariu & Shah, 2016). In present, educational outcomes comparison, rankings, university autonomy, and accountability became integral parts to retain the quality of education (Seyfried & Pohlenz, 2018).…”

This study examined the effectiveness of an accreditation mechanism for teacher education exclusively with a fragile higher education system in Pakistan. A quantitative research method was employed. Using the stratified technique, 614 participants from 24 higher education institutions were selected. Questionnaires were used to collect data from participants. The findings revealed that the standards of national accreditation council for teacher education (NACTE) cannot win wide acceptability and support of educators. The accreditation mechanism in Pakistan has emerged less effective in meeting standards of imparting modern, relevant and quality teacher education in the country. A comparative perspective to explore the factors affecting the effectiveness of accreditation in assuring quality teacher education in an academically underdeveloped country Pakistan is discussed at the end of this article. This study provides essentialities of accreditation in teacher education programs. It carries the value of graduate attributes that is a brand image in the quality of teacher education program development.

“…Se aduce también que la noción de entrega de valor por dinero puede concretarse de modos muy diferentes dependiendo del punto de vista que se adopte; por ejemplo, el de la administración pública que financia las actividades universitarias o el del estudiante que abona el precio de su matrícula (Marshall, 2016). A pesar de estos problemas, las categorías de Harvey y Green se han empleado en buena parte de los trabajos empíricos (Jungblut et al, 2015;Lomas, 2004;Olaskoaga-Larrauri et al, 2015a;Watty, 2006) y doctrinales (Harvey & Stensaker, 2008;Marshall, 2016;Prisacariu & Shah, 2016;) que han abordado desde entonces este tema; y de una cosa no cabe duda: esta conceptualización resalta adecuadamente la diversidad conceptual de la calidad educativa.…”

This article describes the preferences of the teachers working in the No. 9 School at the High School Education System of the University of Guadalajara, with respect to the different ways of defining the quality of education. This research establishes a relationship between teachers’ adherence to the concepts of quality and their attitudes towards some central features of the Reform of High School Education (RIEMS). We use multiple linear regressions with some dummy variables and stepwise procedures. The conclusions suggest that the teacher´s adherence to certain concepts of quality favourably influences the attitudes of the teachers towards RIEMS and, therefore, facilitates the implementation of this reform.

“…Recently, the researches in the quality of higher education institutions highlighted links between quality issues with the expression of dynamics and changes in higher education institutions. Scientists (Papadimitriou & Westerheijden, 2010;Reale & Seeber, 2011;Filippakou, 2011;Stensaker & Benner, 2013;Jarvis, 2014;Prisacariu & Shah;Elken;Henningsson, et al, 2017; states that the pressure exerted by higher education institutions modifies definitions and expressions of quality in the institution's internal management processes. Studies in higher education institutions focus on changes in the external environment, increasing pressure on higher education institutions and a change in the concept of quality as a response to the requirements and expectations of stakeholders.…”
