新冠肺炎疫情对全世界政治、经济、文化、教育等各领域产生着广泛而又长期的影响。基于后疫情时代高等教育质量保障的新变化和新挑战,亚太地区教育质量保障组织(APQN)在新加坡召开了“后疫情时代亚太地区高等教育质量保障”国际学术会议。来自27个国家及地区的120多名代表通过36个发言深入探讨高等教育质量保障数字化、国际化和多元化等发展趋势:首先,质量保障的数字化基于以人为本理念,从理念引领、实践探索和评价转型三层面重塑教育数字化的特征与内涵;其次,质量保障的国际化基于国际化与本土国际化双重视角,探究高等教育全球化趋势下的质量保障问题;再次,质量保障的多元化以高校、机构和政府为主体,三管齐下提高高等教育质量。可以说,后疫情时代质量保障的新变革是信息化,全球经济质量保障的出路是国际化,高等教育卓越质量的主体是多元化。

The COVID-19 pandemic has a broad and long-term impact on politics,economy,culture,education and other fields around the world.Based on the new changes and challenges inhigher education quality assurance(HEQA)in the post pandemic era,the Asia-Pacific Quality Network(APQN)held an international academic conference with the theme of“Quality Assurance for Higher Education under COVID-19 Pandemic and Beyond in the Asia-Pacific Region”in Singapore.More than 120 representatives from 27 countries and regions conducted 36 speeches to delve into the development trends of digitization,internationalization and diversification in HEQA.Firstly,based on the concept of“human-centered”,HEQA digitization reshapes the characteristics and connotation of HEQA digitization from three levels of idea guidance,practical exploration and evaluation transformation;secondly,HEQA internationalization is based on the dual perspectives of internationalization and glocalization to explore QA issues with the tendency of globalization;finally,HEQA diversification focuses on the“trinity”made up of universities,quality assurance agencies and governments to improve the quality of higher education.It can be said that the new transformation of QA in the post-COVID era is digitization,the way out for global economy QA is internationalization,and the main body of excellent quality in higher education is diversification.
