Abstract

The higher education area remains, as in the world, as an ever increasing area of interest. The increase in the inter-university mobility of student and academics and the easiness in the data sharing generated the issue of quality and compatibility in the higher educational area. The academic quality is compared and evaluated with a few criteria. In our country, some works are undertaken in the framework of EU harmonization process and lifelong learning concept. Quality improvement studies and the basics of outcome evaluation that are undertaken by the Council of Higher Education of Turkey, and a regulation were issued in this context. In this study, we consider the quality improvement attempts carried out by the Council of Higher Education of Turkey and by Turkish universities. (C) 2012 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
