Good Practice Examples in Quality Assurance Activities: A Qualitative Research on the Times Higher Education Ranking Universities
Abstract
Higher education is a critical stage of education that contributes to societal progress by enhancing individuals’ knowledge and skills. This study was conducted to investigate, evaluate, and contribute to the literature on good practices related to quality assurance activities of the top 50 universities listed in The Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings. Within this scope, qualitative research methods were employed to analyze the data, statements, and activities on the websites of the top 50 universities in THE rankings. The obtained data were categorized and classified according to the content analysis method, grouped into categories based on their relevance to the research problem, and descriptively expressed as themes. The study revealed that the universities under investigation have established coordination units, particularly in the areas of community service, sustainability, and online learning; organized student- and community-oriented events and training programs; and provided diverse working environments to enhance 21st-century skills among all stakeholders through the formation of teams and collaborative activities. Regarding equity, diversity, and inclusion, it was identified that these universities have developed specific mechanisms based on cultural and social values to support their diverse staff and student populations. The findings were discussed providing recommendations for higher education institutions.
