Özet:

With the beginning of significant increases in the number of higher education institutions and students in the world and the diversity of tasks and responsibilities brought by the changing understanding of higher education to universities, decision makers have begun to pay more attention to quality assurance. Referring to the quality and accreditation models that are developing in European higher education, the start of local practices requires local-specific analysis and research. In Turkish Higher Education, problems arising from the lack of quality assurance as a cultural practice and the lack of integration are observed. At this point, one of the first questions to be asked is how academics, who are an important participant in the process, perceive quality, quality assurance systems and internal practices. This study examined the perceptions of teachers about quality assurance and accreditation systems and practices. The universe of study is formed by academics of a foundation university that operates in the province of Istanbul. The institution; its success in national and international external assessment processes; it has been subject to research because it has a variety of accreditation units. The study, using simple random sampling among teachers, measured the perceptions of teachers about the quality processes and concepts, quality policies and quality processes contribute to the improvement of the structure.
