Quality Assurance Mechanisms in Globalized Higher Education Systems

A mixed-methods study by Nimota Jibola Kadir Abdullahi, last updated in March 2026, examining the impact of quality assurance mechanisms on the sustainability of globalized education systems. The research integrates data from a structured questionnaire with 400 respondents, 15 in-depth interviews, and institutional policy document analysis. The dataset is a supplementary document file of 18.1 KB.

Use Cases

• Analyzing the relationship between capacity and capability mechanisms and system sustainability based on the study's theoretical model.
• Modeling the influence of self-evaluation practices on educational standards across diverse settings as described in the research.
• Training text analysis models on policy documents and interview transcripts related to quality assurance frameworks.
• Conducting comparative studies on quality assurance management strategies in globalized educational contexts.

Strengths

• Data triangulation from three sources: a questionnaire (n=400), interviews (n=15), and policy documents, which the description states enhances validity.
• Dataset is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0, facilitating reuse and distribution.
• The study is grounded in a systems-theoretic model, providing a structured analytical framework.

Limitations

• The dataset is a single 18.1 KB DOCX file, suggesting a very limited scope or summary-level data rather than raw research data.
• Column-level documentation and sample data are unavailable, making field semantics and structure unclear.
• The geographic and institutional scope of the study is not specified in the provided metadata.
