Rankings, accreditation, and the international quest for quality

---

Purpose – This paper seeks to analyze the internationalization of quality practices in higher
education. In light of insufficient theorization about quality in the global dimension, the paper presents
a model for value construction in higher education.
Design/methodology/approach – The authors reviewed different models for quality in higher
education vis-a` -vis emerging international quality practices in higher education.
Findings – After reviewing quality models and international quality practices, the authors argue
that, in order to evaluate and improve quality in higher education, a model of value in higher education
that connects quality with relevance, access, and investment is necessary.
Research limitations/implications – Thus far, quality in higher education has been explored in
isolation from access, relevance, and investment. The integrative approach suggested here may prove
generative for researchers and help address complex educational interrogations.
Practical implications – Higher education leaders are faced with decisions about quality; these
leaders may benefit from connecting quality decisions with the demands on relevance, access, and
investment that their local settings dictate.
Originality/value – The concept of value is largely absent from conceptual discussions about
quality in higher education; additionally, many discussions about quality in higher education seem to
be isolated from their context. This paper addresses both these issues.
