QAQE Processes for Transformative Learning - WP5
Work Package 5 aims to develop a state-of-the-art QA-QE system that will support innovation, whilst integrating best practices in education . The system to be developed was include a supportive process that would engage all relevant stakeholders to address any identified issues and make appropriate changes for enhancement. Such a system would change the perception of quality assurance from one of compliance, to a process that supports, enhances, improves and is effective. This QE system developed was to be the first in higher education in Ireland that has been specifically designed for enhancement and aligns to transformative student-centered learning environments. Adhering to this new QE system would inevitably lead to programmes adopting student-centred pedagogical approaches. This, in turn would lead to a greater focus on the development of graduate attributes, supported by the Transformative Learning Record (TLR).
