Thematic Analysis
Extract from: Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG) Brussels, Belgium:
„3.4 Thematic Analysis
Standard: Agencies should regularly publish reports that describe and analyse the general findings of their external quality assurance activities.
Guidelines: In the course of their work, agencies gain information on programmes and institutions that can be useful beyond the scope of a single process, providing material for structured analyses across the higher education system. These findings can contribute to the reflection on and the improvement of quality assurance policies and processes in institutional, national and international contexts. A thorough and careful analysis of this information will show developments, trends and areas of good practice or persistent difficulty.“
