The Digital Age Two core factors: 1. Globalisation & 2. Worldwide Internet Photo: https://ec.europa.eu/digital-agenda/en/digital-life/education
Internationalization Global Competitions and societal changes Close the gaps & open new opportunities Challenges: Learn to Learn http://www.weforum.org/issues/global-competitiveness
Learning cha(lle)nges Not knowledge but competences are required to meet future jobs and tasks still unknown today Change from input to outcome orientation Input: Knowledge (E-)Learning Outcome: Competences
Challenges in German Higher Education
Higher Education (HE) Special situation in Germany: Federal state system 1 federal government plus 16 states with 16 governments
HE in Germany No rights for federal government within formal education! Schools and Higher Education only in responsibility of the 16 states with 16 governments/ministries
HE in Germany The Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany (abbrev.: KMK) is the legal body [in German: "Länder" = German term for States]
HE in Germany Obligation for Accreditation of all Study Programmes of Higher Education (HE) Institutions by law: Thus, no certification for Study Programmes in Germany
Design of Study Programmes: Needs and Tools
Design of Study Programmes for Bologna Process in Germany
EN ISO/IEC 19796-1 RFDQ 1. International Standard for Learning Quality: Unique ISO Standard on QM for LET Developed by SC36, published by ISO in 2005: Adapted & used worldwide in > 60 countries (also RF + China)!
Solutions: Standards Standards are important tools Quality standards: EN ISO/IEC 19796-1 ISO/IEC 36000 ISO/IEC 36001 Competence standards: ISO/IEC 20006
Solutions: Quality Quality is key for success and results of learning processes Learners needs, Learning objectives, Learning outcomes and competences
Quality: Most important... but "new pedagogy" is even more important!
German Bologna Process Total change of Higher Education All SPs were mainly Diploma and Magister Artium (M.A.) before No tradition of B.A. and Master
German Bologna Process Development of studies: Semester Study Programmes Bachelor Degree Master Degree Other 2007/2008 11.265 4.108 2.778 4.379 2010/2011 14.094 6.047 5.502 2.497 2012/2013 16.082 7.199 6.735 2.148 2005: 26,3 % B/M studies from all study programmes! 2012: 86,6 % B/M studies from all study programmes!
German Bologna Process All Bachelor degrees provide formal access to Master SPs Option for prerequisites by HEIs: subject relevant qualifications minimum grade averages tests for subject and/or language skills work experiences, etc...
German Bologna Process All Master degrees provide formal access to PhD studies Option for prerequisites by HEIs: universities define procedure and details
German SPs Design Accreditation is required for all Bachelor and Master SPs Accreditation = a key for QA!
German SPs Design Accreditation includes formalised, objective peer review process to assess the required standards on academic content and vocational relevance
KMK: Structural Guidelines Common Structural Guidelines is main law by KMK for accreditation of Bachelor and Master Courses and for planning & QA of HE, no regulation of study activities
KMK: Structural Guidelines Common Structural Guidelines by KMK is for Accreditation Council & Accreditation Agencies: Includes need for modularization of SPs + for Credit Point System
German HE Accreditation Accreditation Council by law: Responsible for the accreditation, control and evaluation of all accredited Accreditation Agencies and for QA in whole German HE
German HE Accreditation Accredited Accreditation Agencies can realization Accreditation of SPs as Single Accreditation or as Bundled Accreditation: Providing Seal to HEI (if successful)
German HE Accreditation KMK: Legal decision body Accreditation Council: Accreditation of Agencies Accreditation Agencies: Accreditation of SPs
HE in Germany Good Practice Example: SP "VAWI" of UDE, Germany: Master of Science (M.Sc.) started in 2003, 99% E-Learning
SP "VAWI" by UDE Good Practice Example: SP "VAWI" of UDE, Germany: Master of Science (M.Sc.) started in 2001, 99% E-Learning
SP "VAWI" by UDE In Business Information Systems: Virtual Faculty (10 universities) with 20 Profs., organized by UDE 543 students & 191 graduates (AUS, CH, FR, India, TK, UK, USA...)
SP "VAWI" by UDE Internal Quality Assurance of SP VAWI follows criteria by ASIIN: Requirement for accreditation by ASIIN (developed in cooperation) & many UDE instruments (next slides)
SP "VAWI" by UDE 1st Accreditation in 2004 by ASIIN 1st E-Learning Accreditation
SP "VAWI" by UDE 2010: 1st Re- Accreditation by ASIIN
Internal QA of SPs by UDE Internal Quality Assurance of SPs by UDE is in responsibility of the Institutes & Faculties supported by centralised services: Some mandatory instruments
Internal QA of SPs by UDE 21 Phases for Accreditation Required documents: - Examination regulations - Module handbook - Quality assurance & development - Data on objectives, resources...
Internal QA of SPs by UDE Centralised services for QA: - Evaluation of all courses/seminars - QA & accreditation support - Development of framework for examination regulations and for module handbooks of SPs
Quality: Most important... but new pedagogy is even more important!
