Analysing instrument mixes in quality assurance: The Czech and Slovak accreditation commissions in the era of mass higher education

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Utilising insights from policy instrument theory, the article analyses the design, functioning and effects of the tools used by the Czech Accreditation Commission (CAC) and the Slovak Accreditation Commission (SAC) in the 2000s.

Due to these design discrepancies, the change-over from programme accreditation to quality audit, resulting in an
