La qualité de l'enseignement universitaire: Essai d'approche systématique

Ygal Leibu

Abstract

The quality of university teaching is a much debated issue nowadays. Nevertheless, it seems that the more one hears about quality in university teaching, the less one knows what quality really means, how it can be appraised, and how one goes about improving it. This paper presents some of the many different perspectives from which quality is view-ed and, consequently, the contradictory uses to which so vague a concept is apt to be put. The need for a systematic approach to the quality of university teaching, which would take into account if not reconcile different points of view, is suggested. It is also suggested that it seems necessary, in view of the changes which take hold of the university environ-ment, that higher education institutions experiment with and introduce tangible internal processes of quality evaluation.
