Evaluación y acreditación del profesorado, programas e instituciones educativas
(2014-01-01) Hernández Pina, Fuensanta
The implementation of the Bologna process aimed at developing the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) has involved substantial structural changes in Spanish universities, and also throughout the whole educational system in Spain. Along changes, tertiary education has set up a system which ensures a high level of quality, as well as a continuous improvement, by means of guidance, evaluation, certification and accreditation processes. This may be achieved through a quality assurance system that ensures the promotion and quality of institutions. In order to conduct the various evaluation, certification and accreditation processes, ANECA, a state foundation created in Spain in 2002, aims to "provide external quality assurance to the university system, and contribute to constant improvement" (ANECA, 2013). In order to carry out the various processes, ANECA launched a number of programmes which cover the whole spectrum, namely VERIFICA, MONITOR, ACREDITA and ACREDITA-Plus, and MENCION, to assess teaching; AUDIT to assess institutions; and PEP and ACADEMIA to assess teaching staff. All these programmes are aimed at guaranteeing the quality of courses, of teachers, and of institutions.
