ABSTRACT This article presents experiences and conclusions of an audit approach that focuses on the thesis that universities can gain most from external impulses when actively acquired and adapted by participants. This approach dubbed ‘collegial audit’ refers to the idea of autopoietic systems according to Luhmann and the consideration that systems do not influence but rather irritate each other. Discussed in this article are shared experiences with the collegial audit approach from a cooperation project between two German and two Vietnamese universities. The main finding is that the collegial audit contributes to an exchange among reliable partners on equal terms, as the change in the role of the external parties from evaluators to questioners has strengthened the actors’ readiness to reflect. The cultural differences of the participating universities were challenging but proved to be conducive to the idea of irritation provoking reflection on adaptation.

高等教育中基于话语的评估和质量管理：德国-越南大学合办审计案例研究

摘要本文介绍了一种审计方法的经验和结论，该方法侧重于这样的论点，即当参与者积极地学习和适应时，大学可以从外部动力中获得最大收益。这种被称为“大学审计”的方法是指根据卢曼（Luhmann）的自生系统的思想，以及系统不会相互影响而是相互刺激的考虑。本文讨论的是来自德国两所越南大学和越南两所越南大学合作项目的大学审计方法的共同经验。主要发现是，由于外部方从评估员到提问者的角色变化增强了参与者的反映能力，因此合议性审计有助于平等合作伙伴之间的交流。
