    This chapter analyses the development of quality assurance and assessment in Italian universities since its start in the early 1990s and pinpoints three stages, all of which were prompted by legislation. Quality assurance has made great progress but the situation is still critical, in particular as regards its effectiveness. As a result, a restructuring of external quality audit was undertaken in 2011. The decision whether to adopt an approach to quality assurance and assessment oriented to standardisation or to differentiation of university activities is still hovering in the background

    ITS Academy: una scommessa vincente? L’istruzione terziaria professionalizzante in Italia e in Europa

    Gli ITS (Istituti Tecnici Superiori), dal 2022 ribattezzati ITS Academy, nascono 15 anni fa per dare ai diplomati tecnici e professionali una formazione e prospettive di lavoro più qualificate e per aiutare l’economia italiana a crescere sul piano dell’innovazione. Gli ITS rappresentano il tentativo di rimediare all’assenza di un’istruzione terziaria professionalizzante nel nostro Paese, che in gran parte spiega perché il numero di laureati resti fra i più bassi d’Europa. Lo stesso PNRR ha investito risorse importanti per rafforzarli. Questo Rapporto ricostruisce la faticosa evoluzione degli ITS dal 2007 a oggi e si interroga sulle loro prospettive, mettendone in luce i limiti – in termini di dimensione, diffusione e capacità di attrazione – attraverso un confronto con i modelli di istruzione terziaria professionalizzante in Francia, Germania, Spagna e Svizzera

    After nearly 20 years of evaluation in Italian higher education, a new national agency for the evaluation of the university system (ANVUR) came into being in 2011. This article traces the history of evaluation in Italian universities, discussing the tasks assigned to the national evaluation bodies and their functions within the university system. In order to analyse the evolution of national evaluation systems the article discusses the contribution made by evaluation to the governance system mechanisms and the legitimacy requirements to which the universities are subject. The adoption of quantitative parameters and standards in the evaluation process is one of the elements that contributes most to interpreting the significance and consequences of the evaluatio
