Title |
Institutional Evaluation in Quebec: An Interpretation of Organizational Response to Policy Approaches in the Context of Marianopolis College
|
Abstract |
The author points out that beginning in the 1990s there has been tremendously increased interest from various sectors of society in the performance, effectiveness and social responsibility of higher education. As a result, an audit culture has evolved within which quality assurance has become an integral part of the politics of governance which assumes external regulation of academic activity to be the natural state of affairs. In Quebec, the Commission d'évaluation de l'enseignement collégial (CEEC) serves government instrumentally by institutionalizing accountability mechanisms, evaluation, and other quality assurance practices as technologies that transmit, as well as shape, particular values within the college-level sector. To develop a deeper understanding of the institutional evaluation process, the author uses a multidimensional theoretical framework to analyze and interpret the ways by which Marianopolis College relates and responds to the institutional environment within which it is embedded.
