Universitetinių studijų akreditavimo modelio teorinis ir empirinis pagrindimas ; Theoretical and empirical substantiation of university studies accreditation model
The object of the research is the accreditation process of university studies. While analysing this object, the problem of the research is being solved – the system of quality assessment of university studies lacks a universally accepted model of accreditation process. The object of the research is made more explicit by the following problematic question: what structure of the university studies accreditation process model should there be to ensure public accountability of universities and to create the background for the formation of comparable evaluation methodologies. The aim of the research is to create a theoretical model of university studies accreditation process and to test its validity assessment empirically. The novelty of the results of this work is evidenced by the worked out and theoretically substantiated model of university studies accreditation process. The model is recommended for the formation of comparable methodologies and university accountability assurance in the European system of study quality assessment. From the theoretical point of view, this doctoral thesis research reveals the complexity of university studies accreditation process and highlights the main characteristics of separate stages of this process. Practical significance: the proposed model of university studies accreditation process and its separate elements can successfully be applied in higher education institutions to ensure high quality of studies; in the course of the research some aspects of university studies accreditation process to be improved were detected, thus recommendations how to improve this process of study quality assessment are provided.
