Social dimension in quality assurance – towards framing the key challengesDominic Orr
The presentation starts out from an understanding of quality assurance, which has a norming and a mapping function in higher education. This means it is also agenda-setting. Assuring the social dimension of higher education provision is a central component of the quality agenda. Therefore, it is necessary to have a discussion on which parts of the higher education lifecycle can be supported and how using quality assurance procedures. There are at least 4 tensions, which challenge any quality assurance procedure for higher education in the context of the social dimension.
The presentation gives an overview of the ECBCheck Initiative for quality of e-learning programmes consisting of a community of practice, a self-assessment tool and a certification label.
In three parts the presentation considers:
What challenges are there in assessing the new European Standard and Guideline for Quality Assurance in Higher Education on Student Centred Learning?
What indicators an be used to measured Student Centred Learning in Higher Education Institutions?
What does an increased focus on student-centred learning mean for the Higher Education sector more generally?

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

The Portuguese System of Recognition, Validation and
Certification (Ordinance n.º 1082-A/2001 de 5 de Setembro, Ordinance
n.º 86/2007 de 12 de Janeiro) aims to recognise, validate and certify skills
developed in formal and informal contexts during a person’s life cycle,
thereby increasing the level of qualification of Portuguese citizens.
Cerebral Palsy Association of Coimbra – APCC works in the area of
recognition of skills with people with and without disabilities and is
specialised in providing technical support to other institutions when dealing
with people with disabilities. It is a local service focused on the individual,
working in close collaboration with the community.

6. Aims
To ensure that people with disabilities have the right to formal certification
of the skills developed during vocational training or those related to
personal and professional experiences (formal, non-formal and informal
contexts).
To ensure equal opportunities for people with disabilities in relation to the
processes of Recognition,Validation and Certification of Skills.
To raise people’s awareness with regard to the importance of lifelong
learning.
To promote self-knowledge and empowerment of the individual since he is
the key-actor of the process.
To enhance the profile of employability by increasing the levels of
qualification, particularly in terms of academic certification (4th, 6th and 9th
grade) or secondary education (12th grade).

10. Which criteria can be
compromised in a situation
where there is a
compromise in a certain
body function /structure?
E.g.: fluently may be a problem for
people with compromise in their
voice and speech by functions but
that does not mean that within his
functional framework the person
does express himself with fluency
What are the strategies
(facilitators) to mobilize in
order to overcome the
obstacles?
The resource to technical help
for face to face communication
can be a facilitator to use within
the process of recognition and
validation presenting itself as
facilitator to participation so it is
possible to demonstrate that skill
with the resource of the
facilitators that ensure
communication.
Express yourself
fluently,
articulating ideas
and justifying
opinions.
11. Hearing Functions
The utilization of the Portuguese Sign Language as the mother tongue in all
questions regarding the Portuguese Language
Adaptation of evidence criteria not demining its complexity – the
adaptation concerns the ways of interaction between the person and the
context
Problem situations must be supported with exemplifications, drama or
schemes or the realizations of practical tasks
All criteria concerning communication via Portuguese Sign language are
possible of being demonstrating trough different and alternative forms of
communication (drama, video, ppt, images, schemas, etc.)
12. Vision Functions
Adaptation of evidence criteria in order to be demonstrated by Braille and
all material regarding the process must be available in Braille or audio
Software and equipment accessible for people with changes in the vision
function
Manipulable materials and equipments (audio, embossed material)
13. Mental Functions - Intellectual
Adaptation of evidence criteria not demining its complexity – the
adaptation concerns the ways of interaction between the person and the
context
The formulation of the criteria must be more close to the person life
context and with concrete references to the daily life
The person must be allowed to demonstrate his competences using his
particular and specific way of being, acting and communicating (using
pictoric images to exemplify the criteria “to communicate results of a
project using Portuguese Language”)
14. Mental Functions - Mental Illness
The operationalization of the process regarding people with mental illness
reports mostly to interpersonal relationships and the affective valorisation
of the process
The criteria that mobilize attention, memory, emotions, perception,
cognition are to be conducted carefully (medication)
They can express difficulty coordinating certain oculomotor movements so
it may be necessary to mobilize technical assistance/ support product
Understand that there is no rigid boundary between the end of "normality"
and the onset of the mental disturbance: there is a continuity either on the
severity of symptoms either on duration
15. Neuromuskular/Skeletal and Voice and
Speech Functions
More common: paraplegia , quadriplegia , hemiplegic , cerebral palsy
Architectural, communicational and instrumental accessibility
Adaptation of evidence criteria not demining its complexity – the
adaptation concerns the ways of interaction between the person and the
context
The person must be allowed to demonstrate his competences using his

Adults
Capital gains: computer skills, socialization, learning, perception of
independence
"I also did not leave the hospital unless with my family, but now I go alone”
"The computer ... everything!”
"I learned about equipments, health, I also learned a bit of economy.All
these themes."
23. "Active Inclusion - Active inclusion of young people with disabilities or
health problems " was the study conducted by the European Foundation
for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions (Eurofound) which
analyzed the situation of young people with disabilities or health problems
in 11 countries (Denmark , Finland, France , Germany, Ireland , Netherlands,
Poland , Portugal , Spain and the UK) .
This inclusive experience was identified as an example of good practice
regarding the integration of people with and without disabilities. The study
highlighted the fact that APCC provided an inclusive service that was
directed at all citizens, particularly those who are disabled and therefore
face barriers when it comes to training and employment, and considers that
the rights of people with disabilities were guaranteed and community
outreach was promoted.
24. Gains
Ensured that people with disabilities or in disadvantage are entitled
to formal certification of skills acquired during training processes or
from personal and/or professional experiences (formal, non-formal
and informal contexts)
Guaranteed equal opportunities for people with disabilities or in
disadvantage regarding the access to the process of Recognition,
Validation and Certification
Promoted the awareness of people with disabilities or in
disadvantage regarding to the importance of life long learning
Promoted self-knowledge and empowerment of the individuals as
they are the key players in this process
25. Improved the employability profile of the population with special
needs by raising their qualification´s level, especially in terms of
academic certification (4th , 6th , 9th and 12th grade )
The process oriented the client towards the future by concluding
with a Personal Development Plan
Promoted the self-determination of people with disabilities and
people in situation of disadvantage
Promoted the recognition by the local community of the needs of
people with disabilities since it was an integrative project that
worked with ALL citizens
