Report summary
A group of experts in accordance with recommendations carried out the external evaluation of the Faculty of Health Sciences and the three study programs (Nursing - 1st cycle, Nursing - 2nd cycle, Laboratory Dental Prosthetics 1st - cycle) and criteria set by the Slovenian Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (SQAA). Faculty meets the requirements in all five standards of assessment. The opinion of group of experts is that faculty is a wellorganized higher education institution that puts a lot of efforts in continuous improvement of all fields of its activities. As a member of the University of Ljubljana, faculty accepts all rules and regulations from the University and prescribes its own rules in accordance with them. The quality assurance system (QAS) was, until its introduction, continuously improved with consequential acceptance of quality culture and the awareness of its importance in all relevant stakeholder groups. Each year self-evaluation procedure is performed and their conclusions serve as a starting point for action plan for future period. The contents of this document is comprehensive and summarize results from surveys and interviews with all stakeholders included in all activities of the faculty. The main objectives of annual self-evaluation reports are education, research, quality assurance and management. The annual self-evaluation reports are creating by different parties (teachers and associates, departments, study program coordinators, professional support employees, and students) and every party give their opinion regarding the performance during the past period and suggestions for future one. The quality assurance committee analyses those partial reports and merge them into the final document. Afterwards, the faculty’s Senate discusses the document, gives its approval, and accepts it. All the parties included in creating the document got feedback information about conclusions of the report. The evaluation visit was performed on-line due to an epidemiological situation connected with COVID-19 pandemics. Group of experts has got from the faculty a long list of documents necessary for evaluation that, together with answers got during interviews with relevant groups of stakeholders, served as a basis for evaluation of the institution and study programs evaluated. The disadvantage of such approach was that group of experts did not have the opportunity to witness the actual material and other conditions on-site. However, the above-mentioned elements have enabled group of experts to get pretty good insight in the functioning of the faculty and its activities. The group of experts got the impression that faculty and all stakeholders involved (management, teachers and associates, professional support employees, and students) are very interested and dedicated to the performance and quality improvement of educational process. In this regard, there are well-established protocols of information flow and communication between different stakeholder groups in both, formal and informal way. However, experts think that not all of the involved stakeholders are equally familiar with all of their rights and responsibilities. Nevertheless, the overall impression is that education is performing in a successful way and that there are noticeable improvements every year. Management of the faculty encourages all the efforts in that direction. They are trying a lot to improve teaching and working conditions (including material and ICT) for both, students and employees. From previously mentioned sources, group of experts got the impression that research activity at the faculty has some challenges to deal with in the future. Although there are evidences that research activity is improving over time, experts think that high teaching burden of teachers and especially younger colleagues represents an obstacle for greater research productivity and greater inclusion of students in the research. Currently, there are 28 active projects at the faculty. Most of them are not thematically connected with the analyzed study programs. Group of experts believes that the increase in number of thematically adjusted projects is needed since their results and findings would enable greater transfer of research knowledge into the teaching process and would help the process of teaching staff renewal. Finally, group of experts concluded that a number of advantages and examples of good practice characterizes both, Faculty of Health Sciences and the analyzed study programs. On the other hand, there are some topics that should be improved in future with regard to ensure future development and better positioning of faculty and its programs in wider educational and research area. We would like to thank all those who have put efforts that this virtual visit to faculty has passed at a very high level: Mr. Klemen Šubic - NAKVIS expert, faculty management and all other stakeholders for constructive cooperation in interviews. Since this evaluation took place on-line, the efforts for successful implementation to all participating parties were even greater. -
