Internationalization of Quality Assurance in Higher Education: Role of Quality Assurance Agencies and Their Challenges

許多歐美國家高等教育品質保證機構已紛紛至亞洲、非洲及拉丁美洲為本國在境外設校的大學及其所提供的課程進行跨國認證活動，而一些本地大學為了增進自我國際競爭力，吸引更多國際生就讀，則與國外大學建立實質的學術夥伴關係，開設雙聯學位，同時也開始尋求這些國外認證機構之國際認證。為了穩固國內品質保證系統，提升國內品質保證機構國際化能力，以及確保國外品質保證機構合法性，是現今亞洲、非洲及拉丁美洲地區國家、甚至歐洲，在面對美國認證機構積極至海外擴展市場時，相當關注的高等教育議題。本文主要探討跨國教育品質保證模式及亞洲品質保證機構建構國際化能力的現況及挑戰。

The fact that institutions in Asia are encouraged by governments to seek international accreditation, particularly from the US, has contributed to a new concern of national accreditors over internationalization in Asia. In other words, national accreditors are expected to internationalize their operations in various ways. The main purpose of the article is to analyze the impact of cross-border accreditation on national quality assurance agencies in the Asia-Pacific region. The approaches that national quality assurance agencies adopt to enhance their internationalization, as well as the efforts the networks make to help Asian quality assurance agencies build capacity, will be discussed.
