Abstract
The most systematic and uniformly applied form of external quality monitoring of the educational provision within universities and higher education institutions in the United Kingdom is the teaching quality assessment activity. A process of continuous quality improvement is seen by many to be an important desirable outcome. Such a process has implications at a number of levels: Funding Council, institution, department and individual member of staff. This paper explores these issues within the context of the approach to assessment adopted within Scotland.
