  1. TRUST Meeting minutes 13.02.12

  2. Timo’s presentation • Project end results: • Main national organizations collaborate systematically: • Forum for regular meetings • Shared division of responsibilities • Common procedure for updating the definitions and documentations of the collected data • Common procedures for collecting QA data • Coordinated use/reuse of collected data

  3. Timo’s presentation(2) • Vagan • Quality monitoring is provided by different organizations – the idea is to provide a common field (ground, measures, data) for classification and QA of the educational quality • Organizations: • ITAK VAK, Institutzmistu ta metodivnavchannya, Stud. Organizations, etc.

  4. Timo’s presentation (3) • Portal for collection of data and knowledge: • Easy access to the portal • Common place for all organizations • What to store? • Collectively agreed on the content • Different procedures for working with the same data(no duplicate data in diff. places) • Simplicity of the data

  5. Timo’s presentation • QA data (open and flexible): • Different indicators and summaries can be computed easily on collected data • Data collected for different national organizations can be combined to indicators • Universities and stakeholders can create their own indicators for their own benchmarking • New data sources can be added to the common portal

  6. Timo’s presentation (5) • QA data is actively used • Different actors use and cross-validate collected data • Universities develop actively indicators for their own strategic needs • Stakeholders develop indicators and validate and benchmark the data Comment: Community-based indicators can be added freely

  7. Timo’s presentation (6) • Common QA basis is developed systematically • National organizations have dedicated responsibilities for development • There is a national plan for augmenting the data coverage • Automatic generation of QA data from legacy systems is developed systematically My comment: automatic report generation??? (free tools and a adapter) Statistics calculation modules

  8. Timo’s presentation (7) • Portal with sufficient functionality • Ability to easily collect the data and to compile the reports for national organizations/QA processes (for political buy in) • Possibility to control the access to the data (confidentiality, integrity) • Possibility to create indicators an summaries • Flexibility to adapt to evolving content • Support of main QA processes

  9. Timo’s presentation (8) • Portal may have in parallel: • Current Ukrainian system of QA • EU QA system • E.g. any other QA system • Procedures: • Form (report) generation based on diff QA indicators • Adding new parameter (steps) • Common concepts to start with: • Ontology of QA data, materials, processes, roles • Common language (common concepts)

  10. Timo’s presentation (9) • Outcome 1 should • Provide the political preconditions to project main goals: • Common documented understanding of the present situation and its shortages • Provide the conceptual preconditions to Outcome 2 (portal) • Ontology of QA data and QA procedures with different roles, functions, etc. • Focus on UA system with EU criteria

  11. Timo’s presentation (10) • Concrete tasks: • Identify the actors in UA QA (also non-obvious ones) • Identify which issues are monitored, by who, by which means, for what purpose • Which things are: • Common with EU partners/EU policy • Missing from UA QA systems • Present only in UA/Eastern system • Identify the common parts of the process and indicators and not mapped ones? • Exists only in EU or only in UA

  12. Timo’s presentation (11) • Portal: conceptual preconditions: • What are the main national QA processes • What data/concepts are involved • Are the data definitions comparable internationally? • Which processes are missing/contradicting

  13. Timo’s presentation (12) • Deliverable 1: • Manual of Ukrainian QA of HEIs • Part I (systemic goals) • Synopsis of EU motivations and trends for QA (based on Damian/ENQA presentation and material + EU partner views) • Damian – EU partner, QA assurance in Europe • Ukrainian strategies and goals for higher education (official documents) • Reflection about the present and envisioned Ukrainian QA of HE (discussions and observations arisen by trainings) • Reality vs declared goals

  14. Timo’s presentation (13) • Deliverable 1: • Manual of Ukrainian QA of HEIs • Part I (systemic goals) • Synopsis of EU motivations and trends for QA (based on Damian/ENQA presentation and material + EU partner views) • Damian – EU partner, QA assurance in Europe • Ukrainian strategies and goals for higher education (official documents) • Reflection about the present and envisioned Ukrainian QA of HE (discussions and observations arisen by trainings) • Reality vs declared goals

  15. Timo’s presentation (14) • Deliverable 1: • Part II (Governance of Ukrainian HE) • Legal framework for direct and indirect (through stakeholders) governance of HE • Formally defined players in the field and their stated goals/tasks • Informal players (stakeholders with demonstrated interest/impact to HE) • International impact to governance (agreements, commitments)

  16. Timo’s presentation (15) • Deliverable 1: • Part III (Structured and annotated documentation of QA processes) • Taxonomies a.o. from ENQA presentation • Institutional/program/sectorial level • Internal/external, per/hierarchical,… • Purpose, responsible actor, other actors, knowledge base, produced documents/results …

  17. Timo’s presentation (16) • Deliverable 1: • During/after training: • Test and challenge the given structure • Place your thoughts, ideas, questions to the structure • Identify possible contributors • Focused writing starts after 4th training • Decisions about structure, responsibilities, editorial roles and tasks, timetables

  18. Timo’s presentation (17) • Dates: • End of March: • agree on the structure of the docs • Who (roles, teams, people) • Timing and schedule for deliverables

  19. Timo’s presentation (18) • Ontology of Ukrainian QA • Formal knowledge model of the concepts needed for detailed documentation of QA procedures • Needs incremental collaborative approach and IT tools + experts in knowledge modeling • Reasonable subset needed to start piloting the portal and portal based processes • Starting from existing national QA procedures
