Abstract

The continuous process of improving ARACIS activity has two major objectives: increasing the efficacy of the process of internal and external evaluation and the development of new standards / indicators / procedures of quality assurance. To reach these goals, it is essential to understand and assess the opinions regarding the quality of ARACIS’ activity, and to identify the tendencies and risks regarding quality assurance in higher education in Romania. 

In this context, it becomes useful to take into account on the one hand the perception of managers in higher education – the primary factor of the organizational and development processes – and, on the other hand, the perception of the evaluators who put in place the procedures regarding the quality assurance process developed by ARACIS.
