We would like to cover three main areas: Quality mechanisms, course construction and partnership consequences.
We are interested to know how much autonomy institutions have for quality assurance, and how much is done through the state. Are the institutions compared, and is there any accreditation involved? To what extent is peer review considered, for instance are students involved in the Quality Assurance process?
The area of course construction has a slight overlap with theme 3. Is the institution able to choose its own course content, and if it does, how is this determined? Is all teaching done in classrooms or is there any scope for students to learn whilst in employment?
We also want to investigate partnerships and what they mean for students and Brazil. What recognition is there of courses and is there any effect on student mobility? How do institutions set up and monitor partnerships? Are there domestic league tables or rankings, and is there any notice paid to these and global rankings?
