A System for Quality Assurance of Teaching: Case Study

We present a case study of a Model for Quality Assurance of Teaching which was developed and implemented during a decade in a higher education institution as part of a competence-based teaching development model. Following a brief description of the context and core elements of the model, we explain how the experience was empirically developed for the accreditation assessment included in the model firstly in an experimental phase and later at the institutional level. This accreditation was achieved in two stages: Label 1, for teacher quality accreditation of subject planning, which involved a total of 1366 teachers in five successive calls per year; and Label 2 for accreditation of the teaching, which was put into practice at the university in the 2013/14 academic year following a pilot implementation in the two previous academic years. We will present the process carried out and the results obtained.
