The Continuity in the Concept: A Concept Analysis of Quality Culture in Complex Adaptive Systems

In this article we define the concept of quality culture in a complex higher education context. The article aims to start a creative dialogue on the conceptual continuity of the concept of quality culture in the form of a literature review. The concept analysis follows the method of Walker and Avant. We present the method first and thereafter the literature review (&2). The first step of the method is a broad general search on the internet (&2.1.) and a literature review. Numerous articles were selected based on the snowballing strategy and berry picking. The special interest in quality culture in a complex context called for three extra searches. Fifty-eight articles were selected. Two concepts of Quality culture are discovered: quality culture as the creation of shared values and quality culture as ownership of all. There is little literature on quality culture and complexity. In the literature review, little is found about quality culture in a complex context. Only when the definition of the concept of quality culture is known and agreed upon, can we effectively facilitate a quality culture in the complex context of higher education. There is no concept analysis on quality culture available and little research done on the phenomenon of quality culture in a complex context

The Values of Recommendations by Quality Assurance Papers: The Case of Vietnam

Many scientific articles on quality in higher education are published every year. Ideally, these articles are read, studied and moreover used by others. However, the usability of articles on quality in higher education by scholars and quality responsible staff in institutions is not obvious. Do the right people read the articles? And moreover, are the recommendations of these articles transportable to the different contexts they are working in? This article summarizes some of the lessons learned from the articles published in the journal Quality in Higher Education from September 2021 to October 2022. It also relates the results to the Vietnamese higher education context. In doing so, the article presents a set of useful findings of international research for higher education in Vietnam and maybe in other Asian countries in comparable contexts. Furthermore, the authors propose a way to determine the usability of research results in another context
