Quality Culture and Internal Quality Assurance in Higher Education Institution
Main Article Content
Abstract
Internal quality assurance is an important management tool in higher education. World-class universities have established and developed their internal quality assurance system together with buiding and developing the institutional quality culture. Research and practice from many universities worldwide showed that there are good connections between quality culture and internal quality assurance. This paper aims to analyse and evaluate the relationship between internal quality assurance and quality culture in the international higher education context. Consequently, the outcomes of the study are recommendations for the establishment and development of the quality culture together with the development of the internal quality assurance system for Vietnamese higher education institutions.
