Teaching quality enhancement relies on an effective partnership with students, where well-equipped student experts play an integral role in institutional self-evaluation and enhancement planning.
The culture of openness, trust and collegiality, itself essential to an enhancement approach, is fundamental to developing partnerships with students.
Student engagement (SE), one of the 5 pillars of the Quality Enhancement Framework (QEF), has been instrumental in the success of Scotland’s enhancement-led approach to quality over the last 20 years. And conversely, it is this enhancement approach that has created the environment where SE has flourished.
