QUEST for Quality for Students: Student Handbook on Quality Assurance
Lewis, Eve; Millar, Stephanie; Todorovsk, Blazhe; Kažoka, Asnate
European Students' Union
This handbook was written within the framework of a European project called "QUEST for Quality for Students" (QUEST), whose primary aim is to empower student unions to lead discussions on the quality of education at a local level and to help students who are participating in quality reviews. Students, in particular student representatives of local and national unions, are the main target group of this project, which seeks to identify students' views on the quality of education from a pan-European perspective. This handbook is divided into three parts. Part 1 focuses on the concept of quality and various review processes. This section gives an overview of different understandings of what quality means and what makes a quality experience. It explains the process behind the student learning experience and the partnership process; and gives an overview of different types and processes for quality reviews and explains how students can become reviewers or involved in reviews. Part 2 focuses on the skills that every student reviewer should have, how they can make the change happen that they want to see, what communication skills they should possess and how they can improve their skills. Part 3 explains the function of the European Students' Union and its work in the field of quality assurance for higher education. This section also includes an overview of other stakeholders that have taken an active role in this field. Appended is: Useful Further Reading. To assist in a better understanding of the topics covered in this handbook and put the quality of education into a wider context, see: "QUEST for Quality for Students: Going Back to Basics" (ED539505); "QUEST for Quality for Students: Survey on Students' Perspectives" (ED572745), "QUEST for Quality for Students: Institutional Analysis" (ED572748); and "QUEST for Quality for Students: A Student Quality Concept" (ED572758).
