This book analyses accountability and quality policies relating to
learning standards and examines their implications for assessment
in higher education. Whilst primarily focusing on the Australian
setting, this analysis is located within a broader frame of
reference that includes the United Kingdom (UK), the United States
of America (US), and the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development (OECD). Across these settings, comparative measures of
learning have been seen as a policy 'solution' to the problem of
'proving quality' in a globalised and increasingly competitive
higher education market. Comparative measures of learning depend on
the specification of learning standards. Learning standards attempt
to articulate the capabilities expected of graduates, and students'
achievement of these is determined through the practices of
assessment carried out within institutions. Quality policy,
learning standards and assessment practices all intersect within
the broader umbrella of accountability, with relevance to
governments, higher education providers, employers, parents, and
students. The findings reported in this book highlight a number of
policy influences, including the rising demands for national and
international comparative data on learning standards to compare
quality and inform student choice in a globally competitive market.
