24. RECOMMENDATIONS • Quality Control and Monitoring should be • More qualitative than quantitative Improvement-oriented • Promoting quality culture („art of self-evaluation”, follow-up and feedback mechanisms) on • Based on ccomparable procedures, mutual understanding Not imposed „by force”. Aaccepted by academic staff • Development of Faculty web page with repository of QA materials, examples of good practice etc. • b) elaboration of multilingual glossary of educational terms, with special stress on terms used in QA.

25. During the first step, the quality team meets with all departments to get their involvements in the projects. • Low staff commitment and the lack of a “quality culture” were reported as major obstacles in the previous period.

26. Lack of commitment is surely connected to the lack of the awareness and incentives • And due to a lack of interest and, even more importantly, a lack of financial and human resources. • Overburden of staff members with teaching and clinical training courses • Lack of experiences (Most of academic staff are only Lecturers).

27. SummaryQA IS A CHALLENGING • Internal quality assurance is and should be an activity of all staff members in the faculty. • and not only an activity of the central administration or QA TEAM. • one has to solve the question of how to convince staff members about the importance of quality assurance and of how to create a greater quality awareness? • quality assurance is time consuming and costly. One has to find possibilities, which do not overload the institution as a whole and the individual staff members. • Should stimulate interaction and communication among staff and student based. • Sharing ideas, opinions, experiences, expectations, opportunities and obstacles.
