Ocena programowa kierunku studiów o profilu ogólnoakademickim – krytyczne refleksje na temat regulacji prawnej i praktyki jej stosowania

The study addresses the issue of the program evaluation of general academic studies carried out by the Polish Accreditation Committee. The analysis of the legal regulation and practice of program evaluation indicated that doubts and reservations concern both fundamental issues and specific solutions. The expression of the criteria for the program evaluation of general academic studies in an internal act – the Statute of the Polish Accreditation Committee – was considered controversial. According to the authors, the model of the self-assessment report is overly elaborate. They assessed as deficient the criteria for the selection of experts, as well as the lack of sufficiently precise regulation of the scope of their authority during programme evaluation. In conclusion, they suggested some amendments to the current legislation.
