Student-Centered Quality Assurance in Higher Education: Promoting Trust and Transparency Through Collaborative Approaches

This study on Student-Centered Quality Assurance in Higher Education: Promoting Trust and Transparency through Collaborative Approaches explores the necessity of shifting towards collaborative quality assurance (QA) models in higher education institutions (HEIs) to address the disconnect between QA processes and student experiences. Traditional top-down QA models often alienate students, leading to mistrust. Collaborative approaches, as advocated by recent research, involve students in defining standards, providing feedback, and co-creating solutions for improvement. Engaging students in QA processes yields various benefits, including increased engagement, motivation, and valuable insights into teaching methods and support services
