ABSTRACT

Worldwide accreditation systems for higher education are used by institutions and programmes to demonstrate their legitimacy to deliver quality education. Although there are many perceived benefits and criticisms of accreditation and little empirical research on its impact for improvement, there is still an increasing demand for this form of quality assurance. This essay applies the lens of idolatry to provide a distinctive perspective and offer insight into accreditation. The theory of idolisation and nine characteristics of idols provides a means to understand accreditation power over institutions, its demands, its impact on institutions and professors and its ability to shape and legitimise a particular understanding of education and academic disciplines.

高等教育认证的偶像崇拜:增强我们的理解

摘要

机构和计划使用全球高等教育认证系统来证明其提供优质教育的合法性。尽管有许多公认的好处和对认可的批评,而且很少有关于其对改进影响的实证研究,但对这种形式的质量保证的需求仍在不断增加。本文运用偶像崇拜的视角来提供一个独特的视角,并提供对认证的洞察力。偶像化理论和偶像的九个特征提供了一种手段来理解认证对机构的权力、它的要求、它对机构和教授的影响以及它塑造和合法化对教育和学科的特定理解的能力。
