A Model for the Evaluation of the Italian University System
摘要
Traditionally, the evaluation of university activities in Italy has been left to the discretion of individual degree programs, lacking a structured approach needed for such a critical task. However, significant changes in the Italian university system, have highlighted the need for systematic research programs that assess outcomes’ quality effectively. Since 1999, the National Committee for the Evaluation of the University System has played a pivotal role in standardizing indicators and their definitions, enabling both vertical and horizontal comparisons. Additionally, several studies primarily focused on teaching activities and broader issues concerning university evaluation. In contrast, this research aims to analyze specific indicators influencing the quality of degree courses using an appropriate regression model.
