CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF THE PROCESS
CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW 1. The criteria for a successful review that informs the arrangements for Programme Review and
its evaluation are as follows: i. The programme being reviewed is supported by existing or developing internal
systems including specifications and review with a culture of self-evaluation and continuing improvement. These features of internal review provide a sound basis for the external review.
ii. The timing of the external review is appropriate. iii. The profile of the visiting peer review panel matches in broad terms the profile of
the academic activities in the institution. iv. There is due attention to detail in planning and preparation, by -
a. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate applies consistently its procedures for working with the institution and the reviewers and provides appropriate support for the external review as required
b. The review coordinator: ensures that the evidence base generated by internal review and reporting systems is available on time to the visiting peer reviewers, and any requirements for clarification and supplementary information are satisfied
c. The institution: provides a self-evaluation report for the programme to be externally reviewed
d. The peer reviewers: undertake their preparation for the visit including reading the advance documentation and preparing initial commentaries that inform the conduct of the visit
v. There is consistency in the application of the published review method and the protocols by all participants in a way that respects and supports the mission and philosophy of the overall process for continuing review and continuing improvement.
vi. Reviewers and representatives of the institution conduct an open dialogue throughout the review that shows mutual respect.
vii. The judgements reached by the reviewers are clear, based on the evidence available and systematically recorded.
viii. The review report is produced on time in line with the standard report structure and is confirmed by the institution to be factually accurate.
ix. The set of conclusions arising from the review are constructive, offering a fair and balanced view of the programme.
x. The institution is able to benefit from the external review by giving due reflection
and consideration to the findings and preparing where appropriate a realistic improvement plan
EVALUATION 2. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate wishes to establish and
implement procedures for the systematic evaluation of all external Programme Reviews arranged by it. The institution, the review chairperson and the peer reviewers will all routinely be asked to evaluate each external review by completing a short questionnaire. The structured comments will be analysed by the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate and where necessary the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will take action to follow-up any difficulties highlighted. In addition, the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will collate the structured comments to compile regular summary reports indicating the main features of the review process in practice, including the overall levels of satisfaction expressed by the participants, together with examples of good practice and opportunities for continuing improvement.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS IN PROGRAMME RE-
VIEW DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THE PROGRAMME REVIEW HANDBOOK Some of the terms used in the Handbook and/or used in internal and external review and reporting may have different meanings according to the context in which they are used. To remove possible ambiguities, the following working definitions of the terms are offered. ADEMIC FIELDS/SUBJECT AREAS/DISCIPLINES Academic fields categorise recognisable and coherent domains or the scope of study such as Mathematics, Medicine, Engineering and Philosophy. Fields that have a wide scope are often subdivided; for example, Humanities include subjects like History and Literature and Arts may include separate disciplines of Fine Arts and Photography. The curriculum of some programmes may combine academic fields, or may include different subjects and disciplines such as Mathematics in Engineering or Accountancy in Business Administration. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Specific standards decided by the institution, and informed by external reference points. They include the minimum or threshold level of knowledge and skills to be gained by the graduates from the programme, and can be used in evaluation and review. ACCREDITATION The recognition accorded by an agency or other organisation to either an education programme or to an institution to confirm that it can demonstrate that the programme(s) meet acceptable standards and that the institution has effective systems to ensure the quality and continuing improvement of its academic activities, according to published criteria. ACTION OR IMPROVEMENT PLANS Realistic plans for improvement derived from the consideration of available evidence and evaluations; they may be implemented for more than one year, but should be prepared and reviewed annually at each level of courses, programmes and the institution.
ADMITTED STUDENTS Students registered on a programme, including those accepted holding prior credits for admission after year 1. BENCHMARK/REFERENCE POINTS Benchmark statements represent general expectations about the standards of achievement and general attributes to be expected of a graduate in a given academic field or subject. Reference standards may be external or internal. External reference points allow comparison of the academic standards and quality of a programme with equivalent programmes in Iraq and internationally. Internal reference points may be used to compare one academic field with another, or to identify trends over a given time period. COMMUNITY A defined segment of wider society served by the institution, as determined in its mission and bylaws. It may be defined geographically or in terms of the range of organizations, groups and individuals engaged in its activities. COURSE AIMS Overall course aims should be expressed as the outcomes to be achieved by students completing the course as significant and assessable qualities. They should contribute to the achievement of defined aims within one or more education programmes. CURRICULUM OR (IN THE PLURAL) CURRICULA The complete organised learning as designed and managed by an institution for an admitted student, determined by the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) and comprising the content, the arrangements for teaching and learning and assessments of students’ achievements together with the access to the range of facilities available within the University and, by arrangement, outside it, including libraries, computers studies, social, sports, internships and field studies. DIRECTED SELF-LEARNING/INDEPENDENT LEARNING The active promotion of personal skills included in the curriculum that support the student and graduate to seek, assimilate and learn from a range of structured and unstructured experiences. Methods of promotion include e-learning, personal and autonomous learning and fieldwork, assignments, internships, and reflexive learning. Devices commonly used that support directed self-learning beyond formal teaching lectures include logbooks, self-assessment reports, interactive learning tools or the equivalent. E-LEARNING Electronic-based learning using information technology may be the primary or secondary element in material associated with a programme or a course. It may be stand-alone or integrated with other teaching and learning approaches. It may include self-determination of aims, ILOs and materials using self-selection and will usually include self-assessment. It generally increases the levels of autonomy in, and responsibility for, learning. Converting existing texts or lecture notes to a website or pre-recorded media alone is generally not considered to be e-learning.
EXTERNAL EVALUATOR/EVALUATION An appointment to a specific programme, part of a programme or course(s) by the institution to establish an independent and external professional opinion on the academic standards set and achieved in the examinations for the award of the degree. FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATION The framework for evaluation provides a standard structure for evaluation of programmes. It will form the basis for self-evaluation, the site visit by external peer reviewers and the Programme Review report. It is designed to operate in all academic fields and institutions, and to apply to internal and external reviews. GENERAL PRECEPTS/BY-LAWS Principles, by-laws and regulations, which the educational institution must have as part of the policies covering its operations. HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTE (HEI)/INSTITUTION A Faculty, College or University providing higher education programmes leading to a first university degree (B.Sc. or B.A.) or a higher degree. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOS) The ILOs are the outcome-related definition of knowledge, understanding and skills which the institution intends for its programmes. They should be mission-related, capable of measurement (assessable) and reflect the use of external reference standards at appropriate level. INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND ASSURANCE The system adopted by the institution to ensure that its education programmes and contributing elements meet specified needs and are continually reviewed and improved. An outcomes-related system of quality management involves precise specifications for quality from design to delivery; evaluation; the identification of good practice as well as of learning deficiencies and obstacles; performance follow-up; suggestions for development and enhancement; and the systematic review and development of processes for establishing effective policies, strategies and priorities to support continuing improvement. JOB/LABOUR MARKET The availability of professional, commercial, research-oriented or other fields of employment that a graduate is qualified to join upon graduation. MISSION STATEMENT A brief statement clearly identifying the educational institution’s duty and its role in the development of the community; a mission statement may also offer brief supporting statements on the vision, values and strategic objectives of the institution.
PEER REVIEWER A person who is professionally equal in calibre and with management and/or subject expertise to those delivering the provision, but not from the same institution and without any conflict of interest, who can contribute to the review of an education programme for internal and external quality assurance or for accreditation purposes. PROGRAMME For the purpose of Programme Review an education programme is defined as one which admits students who, on successful completion, receive an academic award. PROGRAMME AIMS The broad purposes for providing the programme which in turn guide the development and implementation of strategic objectives (to ensure that the aims are met) and ILOs (to ensure that the students work towards attaining the specified outcomes). PROGRAMME REVIEW Programme Review applies to all education programmes in all higher education institutions. Where the programme is studied in more than one institution, the whole programme is included in Programme Review. Programme Review in Iraq has three objectives:
1) To provide decision-makers (in the higher education institutions, Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate , parents, students, and other stakeholders) with evidence-based judgements on the quality of learning programmes
2) To support the development of internal quality assurance processes with information on emerging good practice and challenges, evaluative comment and continuing improvement
3) To enhance the reputation of Iraq’s higher education internationally.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The institution has the means of assuring that for each education programme, academic standards are defined and achieved in line with equivalent national and international standards, that the quality of the curriculum and related infrastructure are appropriate and fulfil the expectations of the range of stakeholders, that its graduates represent the range of attributes specified and that the organisation is capable of sustained, continuing improvement. REVIEW COORDINATOR The nominee of an institution to coordinate a Programme Review to assist in the gathering and interpretation of information and to support the application of published methods of review. REPORT The regular reports prepared on the basis of Programme Reviews and evaluations of its education programme.
SELF-EVALUATION n institution’s process of evaluating a programme as part of Programme Review and within an internal system of quality management and assurance. SITE VISIT A scheduled visit by external peer reviewers as part of Programme Review. Normally the site visit will be for two or three days. A typical outline timetable is provided in Appendix(1).
SPECIFICATION The detailed description of the aims, construction and intended outcomes of a programme, and any courses, specific facilities or resources that contribute to it. The specification provides information to design, manage, deliver and review the programme. STAKEHOLDER Those organisations, groups or individuals which have a legitimate interest in the educational activities of the institution both in respect of the quality and standards of the education and also in respect of the effectiveness of the systems and processes for assuring the quality. An effective strategic review process will include the key stakeholder groups. The precise range of stakeholder groups and their differentiated interests depend upon the mission of the institution, its range of educational activities and local circumstances. The range is usually defined by a scoping study. Examples of groups with a legitimate interest include current students, graduates, intending students and their parents or family, staff in the institution, the employing community, the relevant Government ministries, the sponsors and other funding organisations and, where appropriate, professional organisations or syndicates. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES/PLANS A collection of institution-specific objectives that are derived from its mission and developed into a realistic plan based on evidence-based evaluations. Objectives concentrate on the means by which an institution seeks to deliver its mission. The plan sets out the matters to be addressed, timeframe, person responsible and estimate of costs, and is accompanied by an implementation plan with arrangements for monitoring the progress and evaluating impact. STUDENTS’ASSESSMENT A set of processes, including examinations and other activities conducted by the institution to measure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of a programme and its courses. Assessments also provide the means by which students are ranked according to their achievement. Diagnostic assessment seeks to determine the existing range of knowledge and skills of a student with a view to constructing an appropriate curriculum. Formative assessment provides information on the student’s performance and progress to support further learning, without necessarily counting a grade towards graduation. Summative assessment determines the final level of attainment of the student on the programme or at the end of a course that contributes credits to the programme.
STUDENTS’ EVALUATIONS The systematic gathering of students’opinions on the quality of their programme in a standardized structure together with the analysis and outcomes. Surveys using questionnaires
are the most frequently used methods to collect opinions; other mechanisms include websites conferences, panels or focus groups, and representation on councils or other committees. TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS The range of methods used by teachers to help students to achieve the ILOs for the course. Examples include: lectures, small group teaching such as tutorials, seminars and syndicate groups; a case study to teach students how to analyse information and reach a decision; assignments such as writing a review paper for the students to gain the skills of self-learning and presentation; field trips; practical sessions for the students to gain practical skills; and carrying out experiments to train the students to analyse the results, reach specific conclusions and prepare a report, presentation or poster.

CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF THE PROCESS
CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW 1. The criteria for a successful review that informs the arrangements for Programme Review and
its evaluation are as follows: i. The programme being reviewed is supported by existing or developing internal
systems including specifications and review with a culture of self-evaluation and continuing improvement. These features of internal review provide a sound basis for the external review.
ii. The timing of the external review is appropriate. iii. The profile of the visiting peer review panel matches in broad terms the profile of
the academic activities in the institution. iv. There is due attention to detail in planning and preparation, by -
a. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate applies consistently its procedures for working with the institution and the reviewers and provides appropriate support for the external review as required
b. The review coordinator: ensures that the evidence base generated by internal review and reporting systems is available on time to the visiting peer reviewers, and any requirements for clarification and supplementary information are satisfied
c. The institution: provides a self-evaluation report for the programme to be externally reviewed
d. The peer reviewers: undertake their preparation for the visit including reading the advance documentation and preparing initial commentaries that inform the conduct of the visit
v. There is consistency in the application of the published review method and the protocols by all participants in a way that respects and supports the mission and philosophy of the overall process for continuing review and continuing improvement.
vi. Reviewers and representatives of the institution conduct an open dialogue throughout the review that shows mutual respect.
vii. The judgements reached by the reviewers are clear, based on the evidence available and systematically recorded.
viii. The review report is produced on time in line with the standard report structure and is confirmed by the institution to be factually accurate.
ix. The set of conclusions arising from the review are constructive, offering a fair and balanced view of the programme.
x. The institution is able to benefit from the external review by giving due reflection and consideration to the findings and preparing where appropriate a realistic improvement plan
EVALUATION 2. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate wishes to establish and
implement procedures for the systematic evaluation of all external Programme Reviews arranged by it. The institution, the review chairperson and the peer reviewers will all routinely be asked to evaluate each external review by completing a short questionnaire. The structured comments will be analysed by the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate and where necessary the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will take action to follow-up any difficulties highlighted. In addition, the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will collate the structured comments to compile regular summary reports indicating the main features of the review process in practice, including the overall levels of satisfaction expressed by the participants, together with examples of good practice and opportunities for continuing improvement.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS IN PROGRAMME RE-
VIEW DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THE PROGRAMME REVIEW HANDBOOK Some of the terms used in the Handbook and/or used in internal and external review and reporting may have different meanings according to the context in which they are used. To remove possible ambiguities, the following working definitions of the terms are offered. ADEMIC FIELDS/SUBJECT AREAS/DISCIPLINES Academic fields categorise recognisable and coherent domains or the scope of study such as Mathematics, Medicine, Engineering and Philosophy. Fields that have a wide scope are often subdivided; for example, Humanities include subjects like History and Literature and Arts may include separate disciplines of Fine Arts and Photography. The curriculum of some programmes may combine academic fields, or may include different subjects and disciplines such as Mathematics in Engineering or Accountancy in Business Administration. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Specific standards decided by the institution, and informed by external reference points. They include the minimum or threshold level of knowledge and skills to be gained by the graduates from the programme, and can be used in evaluation and review. ACCREDITATION The recognition accorded by an agency or other organisation to either an education programme or to an institution to confirm that it can demonstrate that the programme(s) meet acceptable standards and that the institution has effective systems to ensure the quality and continuing improvement of its academic activities, according to published criteria. ACTION OR IMPROVEMENT PLANS Realistic plans for improvement derived from the consideration of available evidence and evaluations; they may be implemented for more than one year, but should be prepared and reviewed annually at each level of courses, programmes and the institution. ADMITTED STUDENTS Students registered on a programme, including those accepted holding prior credits for admission after year 1. BENCHMARK/REFERENCE POINTS Benchmark statements represent general expectations about the standards of achievement and general attributes to be expected of a graduate in a given academic field or subject. Reference standards may be external or internal. External reference points allow comparison of the academic standards and quality of a programme with equivalent programmes in Iraq and internationally. Internal reference points may be used to compare one academic field with another, or to identify trends over a given time period.
COMMUNITY A defined segment of wider society served by the institution, as determined in its mission and bylaws. It may be defined geographically or in terms of the range of organizations, groups and individuals engaged in its activities. COURSE AIMS Overall course aims should be expressed as the outcomes to be achieved by students completing the course as significant and assessable qualities. They should contribute to the achievement of defined aims within one or more education programmes. CURRICULUM OR (IN THE PLURAL) CURRICULA The complete organised learning as designed and managed by an institution for an admitted student, determined by the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) and comprising the content, the arrangements for teaching and learning and assessments of students’ achievements together with the access to the range of facilities available within the University and, by arrangement, outside it, including libraries, computers studies, social, sports, internships and field studies. DIRECTED SELF-LEARNING/INDEPENDENT LEARNING The active promotion of personal skills included in the curriculum that support the student and graduate to seek, assimilate and learn from a range of structured and unstructured experiences. Methods of promotion include e-learning, personal and autonomous learning and fieldwork, assignments, internships, and reflexive learning. Devices commonly used that support directed self-learning beyond formal teaching lectures include logbooks, self-assessment reports, interactive learning tools or the equivalent. E-LEARNING Electronic-based learning using information technology may be the primary or secondary element in material associated with a programme or a course. It may be stand-alone or integrated with other teaching and learning approaches. It may include self-determination of aims, ILOs and materials using self-selection and will usually include self-assessment. It generally increases the levels of autonomy in, and responsibility for, learning. Converting existing texts or lecture notes to a website or pre-recorded media alone is generally not considered to be e-learning. EXTERNAL EVALUATOR/EVALUATION An appointment to a specific programme, part of a programme or course(s) by the institution to establish an independent and external professional opinion on the academic standards set and achieved in the examinations for the award of the degree. FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATION The framework for evaluation provides a standard structure for evaluation of programmes. It will form the basis for self-evaluation, the site visit by external peer reviewers and the Programme Review report. It is designed to operate in all academic fields and institutions, and to apply to internal and external reviews.
GENERAL PRECEPTS/BY-LAWS Principles, by-laws and regulations, which the educational institution must have as part of the policies covering its operations. HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTE (HEI)/INSTITUTION A Faculty, College or University providing higher education programmes leading to a first university degree (B.Sc. or B.A.) or a higher degree. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOS) The ILOs are the outcome-related definition of knowledge, understanding and skills which the institution intends for its programmes. They should be mission-related, capable of measurement (assessable) and reflect the use of external reference standards at appropriate level. INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND ASSURANCE The system adopted by the institution to ensure that its education programmes and contributing elements meet specified needs and are continually reviewed and improved. An outcomes-related system of quality management involves precise specifications for quality from design to delivery; evaluation; the identification of good practice as well as of learning deficiencies and obstacles; performance follow-up; suggestions for development and enhancement; and the systematic review and development of processes for establishing effective policies, strategies and priorities to support continuing improvement. JOB/LABOUR MARKET The availability of professional, commercial, research-oriented or other fields of employment that a graduate is qualified to join upon graduation. MISSION STATEMENT A brief statement clearly identifying the educational institution’s duty and its role in the development of the community; a mission statement may also offer brief supporting statements on the vision, values and strategic objectives of the institution. PEER REVIEWER A person who is professionally equal in calibre and with management and/or subject expertise to those delivering the provision, but not from the same institution and without any conflict of interest, who can contribute to the review of an education programme for internal and external quality assurance or for accreditation purposes. PROGRAMME For the purpose of Programme Review an education programme is defined as one which admits students who, on successful completion, receive an academic award.
PROGRAMME AIMS The broad purposes for providing the programme which in turn guide the development and implementation of strategic objectives (to ensure that the aims are met) and ILOs (to ensure that the students work towards attaining the specified outcomes). PROGRAMME REVIEW Programme Review applies to all education programmes in all higher education institutions. Where the programme is studied in more than one institution, the whole programme is included in Programme Review. Programme Review in Iraq has three objectives:
1) To provide decision-makers (in the higher education institutions, Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate , parents, students, and other stakeholders) with evidence-based judgements on the quality of learning programmes
2) To support the development of internal quality assurance processes with information on emerging good practice and challenges, evaluative comment and continuing improvement
3) To enhance the reputation of Iraq’s higher education internationally.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The institution has the means of assuring that for each education programme, academic standards are defined and achieved in line with equivalent national and international standards, that the quality of the curriculum and related infrastructure are appropriate and fulfil the expectations of the range of stakeholders, that its graduates represent the range of attributes specified and that the organisation is capable of sustained, continuing improvement. REVIEW COORDINATOR The nominee of an institution to coordinate a Programme Review to assist in the gathering and interpretation of information and to support the application of published methods of review. REPORT The regular reports prepared on the basis of Programme Reviews and evaluations of its education programme. SELF-EVALUATION n institution’s process of evaluating a programme as part of Programme Review and within an internal system of quality management and assurance. SITE VISIT A scheduled visit by external peer reviewers as part of Programme Review. Normally the site visit will be for two or three days. A typical outline timetable is provided in Appendix(1).
SPECIFICATION The detailed description of the aims, construction and intended outcomes of a programme, and any courses, specific facilities or resources that contribute to it. The specification provides information to design, manage, deliver and review the programme. STAKEHOLDER Those organisations, groups or individuals which have a legitimate interest in the educational activities of the institution both in respect of the quality and standards of the education and also in respect of the effectiveness of the systems and processes for assuring the quality. An effective strategic review process will include the key stakeholder groups. The precise range of stakeholder groups and their differentiated interests depend upon the mission of the institution, its range of educational activities and local circumstances. The range is usually defined by a scoping study. Examples of groups with a legitimate interest include current students, graduates, intending students and their parents or family, staff in the institution, the employing community, the relevant Government ministries, the sponsors and other funding organisations and, where appropriate, professional organisations or syndicates. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES/PLANS A collection of institution-specific objectives that are derived from its mission and developed into a realistic plan based on evidence-based evaluations. Objectives concentrate on the means by which an institution seeks to deliver its mission. The plan sets out the matters to be addressed, timeframe, person responsible and estimate of costs, and is accompanied by an implementation plan with arrangements for monitoring the progress and evaluating impact. STUDENTS’ASSESSMENT A set of processes, including examinations and other activities conducted by the institution to measure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of a programme and its courses. Assessments also provide the means by which students are ranked according to their achievement. Diagnostic assessment seeks to determine the existing range of knowledge and skills of a student with a view to constructing an appropriate curriculum. Formative assessment provides information on the student’s performance and progress to support further learning, without necessarily counting a grade towards graduation. Summative assessment determines the final level of attainment of the student on the programme or at the end of a course that contributes credits to the programme.
STUDENTS’ EVALUATIONS The systematic gathering of students’opinions on the quality of their programme in a standardized structure together with the analysis and outcomes. Surveys using questionnaires are the most frequently used methods to collect opinions; other mechanisms include websites conferences, panels or focus groups, and representation on councils or other committees. TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS The range of methods used by teachers to help students to achieve the ILOs for the course. Examples include: lectures, small group teaching such as tutorials, seminars and syndicate groups; a case study to teach students how to analyse information and reach a decision; assignments such as writing a review paper for the students to gain the skills of self-learning and presentation; field trips; practical sessions for the students to gain practical skills; and carrying out experiments to train the students to analyse the results, reach specific conclusions and prepare a report, presentation or poster.

CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF THE PROCESS
CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW 1. The criteria for a successful review that informs the arrangements for Programme Review and
its evaluation are as follows: i. The programme being reviewed is supported by existing or developing internal
systems including specifications and review with a culture of self-evaluation and continuing improvement. These features of internal review provide a sound basis for the external review.
ii. The timing of the external review is appropriate. iii. The profile of the visiting peer review panel matches in broad terms the profile of
the academic activities in the institution. iv. There is due attention to detail in planning and preparation, by -
a. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate applies consistently its procedures for working with the institution and the reviewers and provides appropriate support for the external review as required
b. The review coordinator: ensures that the evidence base generated by internal review and reporting systems is available on time to the visiting peer reviewers, and any requirements for clarification and supplementary information are satisfied
c. The institution: provides a self-evaluation report for the programme to be externally reviewed
d. The peer reviewers: undertake their preparation for the visit including reading the advance documentation and preparing initial commentaries that inform the conduct of the visit
v. There is consistency in the application of the published review method and the protocols by all participants in a way that respects and supports the mission and philosophy of the overall process for continuing review and continuing improvement.
vi. Reviewers and representatives of the institution conduct an open dialogue throughout the review that shows mutual respect.
vii. The judgements reached by the reviewers are clear, based on the evidence available and systematically recorded.
viii. The review report is produced on time in line with the standard report structure and is confirmed by the institution to be factually accurate.
ix. The set of conclusions arising from the review are constructive, offering a fair and balanced view of the programme.
x. The institution is able to benefit from the external review by giving due reflection and consideration to the findings and preparing where appropriate a realistic improvement plan
EVALUATION 2. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate wishes to establish and
implement procedures for the systematic evaluation of all external Programme Reviews arranged by it. The institution, the review chairperson and the peer reviewers will all routinely be asked to evaluate each external review by completing a short questionnaire. The structured comments will be analysed by the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate and where necessary the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will take action to follow-up any difficulties highlighted. In addition, the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will collate the structured comments to compile regular summary reports indicating the main features of the review process in practice, including the overall levels of satisfaction expressed by the participants, together with examples of good practice and opportunities for continuing improvement.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS IN PROGRAMME RE-
VIEW DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THE PROGRAMME REVIEW HANDBOOK Some of the terms used in the Handbook and/or used in internal and external review and reporting may have different meanings according to the context in which they are used. To remove possible ambiguities, the following working definitions of the terms are offered. ADEMIC FIELDS/SUBJECT AREAS/DISCIPLINES Academic fields categorise recognisable and coherent domains or the scope of study such as Mathematics, Medicine, Engineering and Philosophy. Fields that have a wide scope are often subdivided; for example, Humanities include subjects like History and Literature and Arts may include separate disciplines of Fine Arts and Photography. The curriculum of some programmes may combine academic fields, or may include different subjects and disciplines such as Mathematics in Engineering or Accountancy in Business Administration. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Specific standards decided by the institution, and informed by external reference points. They include the minimum or threshold level of knowledge and skills to be gained by the graduates from the programme, and can be used in evaluation and review. ACCREDITATION The recognition accorded by an agency or other organisation to either an education programme or to an institution to confirm that it can demonstrate that the programme(s) meet acceptable standards and that the institution has effective systems to ensure the quality and continuing improvement of its academic activities, according to published criteria. ACTION OR IMPROVEMENT PLANS Realistic plans for improvement derived from the consideration of available evidence and evaluations; they may be implemented for more than one year, but should be prepared and reviewed annually at each level of courses, programmes and the institution. ADMITTED STUDENTS Students registered on a programme, including those accepted holding prior credits for admission after year 1. BENCHMARK/REFERENCE POINTS Benchmark statements represent general expectations about the standards of achievement and general attributes to be expected of a graduate in a given academic field or subject. Reference standards may be external or internal. External reference points allow comparison of the academic standards and quality of a programme with equivalent programmes in Iraq and internationally. Internal reference points may be used to compare one academic field with another, or to identify trends over a given time period.
COMMUNITY A defined segment of wider society served by the institution, as determined in its mission and bylaws. It may be defined geographically or in terms of the range of organizations, groups and individuals engaged in its activities. COURSE AIMS Overall course aims should be expressed as the outcomes to be achieved by students completing the course as significant and assessable qualities. They should contribute to the achievement of defined aims within one or more education programmes. CURRICULUM OR (IN THE PLURAL) CURRICULA The complete organised learning as designed and managed by an institution for an admitted student, determined by the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) and comprising the content, the arrangements for teaching and learning and assessments of students’ achievements together with the access to the range of facilities available within the University and, by arrangement, outside it, including libraries, computers studies, social, sports, internships and field studies. DIRECTED SELF-LEARNING/INDEPENDENT LEARNING The active promotion of personal skills included in the curriculum that support the student and graduate to seek, assimilate and learn from a range of structured and unstructured experiences. Methods of promotion include e-learning, personal and autonomous learning and fieldwork, assignments, internships, and reflexive learning. Devices commonly used that support directed self-learning beyond formal teaching lectures include logbooks, self-assessment reports, interactive learning tools or the equivalent. E-LEARNING Electronic-based learning using information technology may be the primary or secondary element in material associated with a programme or a course. It may be stand-alone or integrated with other teaching and learning approaches. It may include self-determination of aims, ILOs and materials using self-selection and will usually include self-assessment. It generally increases the levels of autonomy in, and responsibility for, learning. Converting existing texts or lecture notes to a website or pre-recorded media alone is generally not considered to be e-learning. EXTERNAL EVALUATOR/EVALUATION An appointment to a specific programme, part of a programme or course(s) by the institution to establish an independent and external professional opinion on the academic standards set and achieved in the examinations for the award of the degree. FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATION The framework for evaluation provides a standard structure for evaluation of programmes. It will form the basis for self-evaluation, the site visit by external peer reviewers and the Programme Review report. It is designed to operate in all academic fields and institutions, and to apply to internal and external reviews.
GENERAL PRECEPTS/BY-LAWS Principles, by-laws and regulations, which the educational institution must have as part of the policies covering its operations. HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTE (HEI)/INSTITUTION A Faculty, College or University providing higher education programmes leading to a first university degree (B.Sc. or B.A.) or a higher degree. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOS) The ILOs are the outcome-related definition of knowledge, understanding and skills which the institution intends for its programmes. They should be mission-related, capable of measurement (assessable) and reflect the use of external reference standards at appropriate level. INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND ASSURANCE The system adopted by the institution to ensure that its education programmes and contributing elements meet specified needs and are continually reviewed and improved. An outcomes-related system of quality management involves precise specifications for quality from design to delivery; evaluation; the identification of good practice as well as of learning deficiencies and obstacles; performance follow-up; suggestions for development and enhancement; and the systematic review and development of processes for establishing effective policies, strategies and priorities to support continuing improvement. JOB/LABOUR MARKET The availability of professional, commercial, research-oriented or other fields of employment that a graduate is qualified to join upon graduation. MISSION STATEMENT A brief statement clearly identifying the educational institution’s duty and its role in the development of the community; a mission statement may also offer brief supporting statements on the vision, values and strategic objectives of the institution. PEER REVIEWER A person who is professionally equal in calibre and with management and/or subject expertise to those delivering the provision, but not from the same institution and without any conflict of interest, who can contribute to the review of an education programme for internal and external quality assurance or for accreditation purposes. PROGRAMME For the purpose of Programme Review an education programme is defined as one which admits students who, on successful completion, receive an academic award.
PROGRAMME AIMS The broad purposes for providing the programme which in turn guide the development and implementation of strategic objectives (to ensure that the aims are met) and ILOs (to ensure that the students work towards attaining the specified outcomes). PROGRAMME REVIEW Programme Review applies to all education programmes in all higher education institutions. Where the programme is studied in more than one institution, the whole programme is included in Programme Review. Programme Review in Iraq has three objectives:
1) To provide decision-makers (in the higher education institutions, Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate , parents, students, and other stakeholders) with evidence-based judgements on the quality of learning programmes
2) To support the development of internal quality assurance processes with information on emerging good practice and challenges, evaluative comment and continuing improvement
3) To enhance the reputation of Iraq’s higher education internationally.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The institution has the means of assuring that for each education programme, academic standards are defined and achieved in line with equivalent national and international standards, that the quality of the curriculum and related infrastructure are appropriate and fulfil the expectations of the range of stakeholders, that its graduates represent the range of attributes specified and that the organisation is capable of sustained, continuing improvement. REVIEW COORDINATOR The nominee of an institution to coordinate a Programme Review to assist in the gathering and interpretation of information and to support the application of published methods of review. REPORT The regular reports prepared on the basis of Programme Reviews and evaluations of its education programme. SELF-EVALUATION n institution’s process of evaluating a programme as part of Programme Review and within an internal system of quality management and assurance. SITE VISIT A scheduled visit by external peer reviewers as part of Programme Review. Normally the site visit will be for two or three days. A typical outline timetable is provided in Appendix(1).
SPECIFICATION The detailed description of the aims, construction and intended outcomes of a programme, and any courses, specific facilities or resources that contribute to it. The specification provides information to design, manage, deliver and review the programme. STAKEHOLDER Those organisations, groups or individuals which have a legitimate interest in the educational activities of the institution both in respect of the quality and standards of the education and also in respect of the effectiveness of the systems and processes for assuring the quality. An effective strategic review process will include the key stakeholder groups. The precise range of stakeholder groups and their differentiated interests depend upon the mission of the institution, its range of educational activities and local circumstances. The range is usually defined by a scoping study. Examples of groups with a legitimate interest include current students, graduates, intending students and their parents or family, staff in the institution, the employing community, the relevant Government ministries, the sponsors and other funding organisations and, where appropriate, professional organisations or syndicates. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES/PLANS A collection of institution-specific objectives that are derived from its mission and developed into a realistic plan based on evidence-based evaluations. Objectives concentrate on the means by which an institution seeks to deliver its mission. The plan sets out the matters to be addressed, timeframe, person responsible and estimate of costs, and is accompanied by an implementation plan with arrangements for monitoring the progress and evaluating impact. STUDENTS’ASSESSMENT A set of processes, including examinations and other activities conducted by the institution to measure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of a programme and its courses. Assessments also provide the means by which students are ranked according to their achievement. Diagnostic assessment seeks to determine the existing range of knowledge and skills of a student with a view to constructing an appropriate curriculum. Formative assessment provides information on the student’s performance and progress to support further learning, without necessarily counting a grade towards graduation. Summative assessment determines the final level of attainment of the student on the programme or at the end of a course that contributes credits to the programme.
STUDENTS’ EVALUATIONS The systematic gathering of students’opinions on the quality of their programme in a standardized structure together with the analysis and outcomes. Surveys using questionnaires are the most frequently used methods to collect opinions; other mechanisms include websites conferences, panels or focus groups, and representation on councils or other committees. TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS The range of methods used by teachers to help students to achieve the ILOs for the course. Examples include: lectures, small group teaching such as tutorials, seminars and syndicate groups; a case study to teach students how to analyse information and reach a decision; assignments such as writing a review paper for the students to gain the skills of self-learning and presentation; field trips; practical sessions for the students to gain practical skills; and carrying out experiments to train the students to analyse the results, reach specific conclusions and prepare a report, presentation or poster.

CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF THE PROCESS
CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW 1. The criteria for a successful review that informs the arrangements for Programme Review and
its evaluation are as follows: i. The programme being reviewed is supported by existing or developing internal
systems including specifications and review with a culture of self-evaluation and continuing improvement. These features of internal review provide a sound basis for the external review.
ii. The timing of the external review is appropriate. iii. The profile of the visiting peer review panel matches in broad terms the profile of
the academic activities in the institution. iv. There is due attention to detail in planning and preparation, by -
a. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate applies consistently its procedures for working with the institution and the reviewers and provides appropriate support for the external review as required
b. The review coordinator: ensures that the evidence base generated by internal review and reporting systems is available on time to the visiting peer reviewers, and any requirements for clarification and supplementary information are satisfied
c. The institution: provides a self-evaluation report for the programme to be externally reviewed
d. The peer reviewers: undertake their preparation for the visit including reading the advance documentation and preparing initial commentaries that inform the conduct of the visit
v. There is consistency in the application of the published review method and the protocols by all participants in a way that respects and supports the mission and philosophy of the overall process for continuing review and continuing improvement.
vi. Reviewers and representatives of the institution conduct an open dialogue throughout the review that shows mutual respect.
vii. The judgements reached by the reviewers are clear, based on the evidence available and systematically recorded.
viii. The review report is produced on time in line with the standard report structure and is confirmed by the institution to be factually accurate.
ix. The set of conclusions arising from the review are constructive, offering a fair and balanced view of the programme.
x. The institution is able to benefit from the external review by giving due reflection and consideration to the findings and preparing where appropriate a realistic improvement plan
EVALUATION 2. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate wishes to establish and
implement procedures for the systematic evaluation of all external Programme Reviews arranged by it. The institution, the review chairperson and the peer reviewers will all routinely be asked to evaluate each external review by completing a short questionnaire. The structured comments will be analysed by the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate and where necessary the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will take action to follow-up any difficulties highlighted. In addition, the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will collate the structured comments to compile regular summary reports indicating the main features of the review process in practice, including the overall levels of satisfaction expressed by the participants, together with examples of good practice and opportunities for continuing improvement.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS IN PROGRAMME RE-
VIEW DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THE PROGRAMME REVIEW HANDBOOK Some of the terms used in the Handbook and/or used in internal and external review and reporting may have different meanings according to the context in which they are used. To remove possible ambiguities, the following working definitions of the terms are offered. ADEMIC FIELDS/SUBJECT AREAS/DISCIPLINES Academic fields categorise recognisable and coherent domains or the scope of study such as Mathematics, Medicine, Engineering and Philosophy. Fields that have a wide scope are often subdivided; for example, Humanities include subjects like History and Literature and Arts may include separate disciplines of Fine Arts and Photography. The curriculum of some programmes may combine academic fields, or may include different subjects and disciplines such as Mathematics in Engineering or Accountancy in Business Administration. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Specific standards decided by the institution, and informed by external reference points. They include the minimum or threshold level of knowledge and skills to be gained by the graduates from the programme, and can be used in evaluation and review. ACCREDITATION The recognition accorded by an agency or other organisation to either an education programme or to an institution to confirm that it can demonstrate that the programme(s) meet acceptable standards and that the institution has effective systems to ensure the quality and continuing improvement of its academic activities, according to published criteria. ACTION OR IMPROVEMENT PLANS Realistic plans for improvement derived from the consideration of available evidence and evaluations; they may be implemented for more than one year, but should be prepared and reviewed annually at each level of courses, programmes and the institution. ADMITTED STUDENTS Students registered on a programme, including those accepted holding prior credits for admission after year 1. BENCHMARK/REFERENCE POINTS Benchmark statements represent general expectations about the standards of achievement and general attributes to be expected of a graduate in a given academic field or subject. Reference standards may be external or internal. External reference points allow comparison of the academic standards and quality of a programme with equivalent programmes in Iraq and internationally. Internal reference points may be used to compare one academic field with another, or to identify trends over a given time period.
COMMUNITY A defined segment of wider society served by the institution, as determined in its mission and bylaws. It may be defined geographically or in terms of the range of organizations, groups and individuals engaged in its activities. COURSE AIMS Overall course aims should be expressed as the outcomes to be achieved by students completing the course as significant and assessable qualities. They should contribute to the achievement of defined aims within one or more education programmes. CURRICULUM OR (IN THE PLURAL) CURRICULA The complete organised learning as designed and managed by an institution for an admitted student, determined by the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) and comprising the content, the arrangements for teaching and learning and assessments of students’ achievements together with the access to the range of facilities available within the University and, by arrangement, outside it, including libraries, computers studies, social, sports, internships and field studies. DIRECTED SELF-LEARNING/INDEPENDENT LEARNING The active promotion of personal skills included in the curriculum that support the student and graduate to seek, assimilate and learn from a range of structured and unstructured experiences. Methods of promotion include e-learning, personal and autonomous learning and fieldwork, assignments, internships, and reflexive learning. Devices commonly used that support directed self-learning beyond formal teaching lectures include logbooks, self-assessment reports, interactive learning tools or the equivalent. E-LEARNING Electronic-based learning using information technology may be the primary or secondary element in material associated with a programme or a course. It may be stand-alone or integrated with other teaching and learning approaches. It may include self-determination of aims, ILOs and materials using self-selection and will usually include self-assessment. It generally increases the levels of autonomy in, and responsibility for, learning. Converting existing texts or lecture notes to a website or pre-recorded media alone is generally not considered to be e-learning. EXTERNAL EVALUATOR/EVALUATION An appointment to a specific programme, part of a programme or course(s) by the institution to establish an independent and external professional opinion on the academic standards set and achieved in the examinations for the award of the degree. FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATION The framework for evaluation provides a standard structure for evaluation of programmes. It will form the basis for self-evaluation, the site visit by external peer reviewers and the Programme Review report. It is designed to operate in all academic fields and institutions, and to apply to internal and external reviews.
GENERAL PRECEPTS/BY-LAWS Principles, by-laws and regulations, which the educational institution must have as part of the policies covering its operations. HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTE (HEI)/INSTITUTION A Faculty, College or University providing higher education programmes leading to a first university degree (B.Sc. or B.A.) or a higher degree. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOS) The ILOs are the outcome-related definition of knowledge, understanding and skills which the institution intends for its programmes. They should be mission-related, capable of measurement (assessable) and reflect the use of external reference standards at appropriate level. INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND ASSURANCE The system adopted by the institution to ensure that its education programmes and contributing elements meet specified needs and are continually reviewed and improved. An outcomes-related system of quality management involves precise specifications for quality from design to delivery; evaluation; the identification of good practice as well as of learning deficiencies and obstacles; performance follow-up; suggestions for development and enhancement; and the systematic review and development of processes for establishing effective policies, strategies and priorities to support continuing improvement. JOB/LABOUR MARKET The availability of professional, commercial, research-oriented or other fields of employment that a graduate is qualified to join upon graduation. MISSION STATEMENT A brief statement clearly identifying the educational institution’s duty and its role in the development of the community; a mission statement may also offer brief supporting statements on the vision, values and strategic objectives of the institution. PEER REVIEWER A person who is professionally equal in calibre and with management and/or subject expertise to those delivering the provision, but not from the same institution and without any conflict of interest, who can contribute to the review of an education programme for internal and external quality assurance or for accreditation purposes. PROGRAMME For the purpose of Programme Review an education programme is defined as one which admits students who, on successful completion, receive an academic award.
PROGRAMME AIMS The broad purposes for providing the programme which in turn guide the development and implementation of strategic objectives (to ensure that the aims are met) and ILOs (to ensure that the students work towards attaining the specified outcomes). PROGRAMME REVIEW Programme Review applies to all education programmes in all higher education institutions. Where the programme is studied in more than one institution, the whole programme is included in Programme Review. Programme Review in Iraq has three objectives:
1) To provide decision-makers (in the higher education institutions, Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate , parents, students, and other stakeholders) with evidence-based judgements on the quality of learning programmes
2) To support the development of internal quality assurance processes with information on emerging good practice and challenges, evaluative comment and continuing improvement
3) To enhance the reputation of Iraq’s higher education internationally.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The institution has the means of assuring that for each education programme, academic standards are defined and achieved in line with equivalent national and international standards, that the quality of the curriculum and related infrastructure are appropriate and fulfil the expectations of the range of stakeholders, that its graduates represent the range of attributes specified and that the organisation is capable of sustained, continuing improvement. REVIEW COORDINATOR The nominee of an institution to coordinate a Programme Review to assist in the gathering and interpretation of information and to support the application of published methods of review. REPORT The regular reports prepared on the basis of Programme Reviews and evaluations of its education programme. SELF-EVALUATION n institution’s process of evaluating a programme as part of Programme Review and within an internal system of quality management and assurance. SITE VISIT A scheduled visit by external peer reviewers as part of Programme Review. Normally the site visit will be for two or three days. A typical outline timetable is provided in Appendix(1).
SPECIFICATION The detailed description of the aims, construction and intended outcomes of a programme, and any courses, specific facilities or resources that contribute to it. The specification provides information to design, manage, deliver and review the programme. STAKEHOLDER Those organisations, groups or individuals which have a legitimate interest in the educational activities of the institution both in respect of the quality and standards of the education and also in respect of the effectiveness of the systems and processes for assuring the quality. An effective strategic review process will include the key stakeholder groups. The precise range of stakeholder groups and their differentiated interests depend upon the mission of the institution, its range of educational activities and local circumstances. The range is usually defined by a scoping study. Examples of groups with a legitimate interest include current students, graduates, intending students and their parents or family, staff in the institution, the employing community, the relevant Government ministries, the sponsors and other funding organisations and, where appropriate, professional organisations or syndicates. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES/PLANS A collection of institution-specific objectives that are derived from its mission and developed into a realistic plan based on evidence-based evaluations. Objectives concentrate on the means by which an institution seeks to deliver its mission. The plan sets out the matters to be addressed, timeframe, person responsible and estimate of costs, and is accompanied by an implementation plan with arrangements for monitoring the progress and evaluating impact. STUDENTS’ASSESSMENT A set of processes, including examinations and other activities conducted by the institution to measure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of a programme and its courses. Assessments also provide the means by which students are ranked according to their achievement. Diagnostic assessment seeks to determine the existing range of knowledge and skills of a student with a view to constructing an appropriate curriculum. Formative assessment provides information on the student’s performance and progress to support further learning, without necessarily counting a grade towards graduation. Summative assessment determines the final level of attainment of the student on the programme or at the end of a course that contributes credits to the programme.
STUDENTS’ EVALUATIONS The systematic gathering of students’opinions on the quality of their programme in a standardized structure together with the analysis and outcomes. Surveys using questionnaires are the most frequently used methods to collect opinions; other mechanisms include websites conferences, panels or focus groups, and representation on councils or other committees. TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS The range of methods used by teachers to help students to achieve the ILOs for the course. Examples include: lectures, small group teaching such as tutorials, seminars and syndicate groups; a case study to teach students how to analyse information and reach a decision; assignments such as writing a review paper for the students to gain the skills of self-learning and presentation; field trips; practical sessions for the students to gain practical skills; and carrying out experiments to train the students to analyse the results, reach specific conclusions and prepare a report, presentation or poster.

CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF THE PROCESS
CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW 1. The criteria for a successful review that informs the arrangements for Programme Review and
its evaluation are as follows: i. The programme being reviewed is supported by existing or developing internal
systems including specifications and review with a culture of self-evaluation and continuing improvement. These features of internal review provide a sound basis for the external review.
ii. The timing of the external review is appropriate. iii. The profile of the visiting peer review panel matches in broad terms the profile of
the academic activities in the institution. iv. There is due attention to detail in planning and preparation, by -
a. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate applies consistently its procedures for working with the institution and the reviewers and provides appropriate support for the external review as required
b. The review coordinator: ensures that the evidence base generated by internal review and reporting systems is available on time to the visiting peer reviewers, and any requirements for clarification and supplementary information are satisfied
c. The institution: provides a self-evaluation report for the programme to be externally reviewed
d. The peer reviewers: undertake their preparation for the visit including reading the advance documentation and preparing initial commentaries that inform the conduct of the visit
v. There is consistency in the application of the published review method and the protocols by all participants in a way that respects and supports the mission and philosophy of the overall process for continuing review and continuing improvement.
vi. Reviewers and representatives of the institution conduct an open dialogue throughout the review that shows mutual respect.
vii. The judgements reached by the reviewers are clear, based on the evidence available and systematically recorded.
viii. The review report is produced on time in line with the standard report structure and is confirmed by the institution to be factually accurate.
ix. The set of conclusions arising from the review are constructive, offering a fair and balanced view of the programme.
x. The institution is able to benefit from the external review by giving due reflection and consideration to the findings and preparing where appropriate a realistic improvement plan
EVALUATION 2. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate wishes to establish and
implement procedures for the systematic evaluation of all external Programme Reviews arranged by it. The institution, the review chairperson and the peer reviewers will all routinely be asked to evaluate each external review by completing a short questionnaire. The structured comments will be analysed by the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate and where necessary the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will take action to follow-up any difficulties highlighted. In addition, the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will collate the structured comments to compile regular summary reports indicating the main features of the review process in practice, including the overall levels of satisfaction expressed by the participants, together with examples of good practice and opportunities for continuing improvement.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS IN PROGRAMME RE-
VIEW DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THE PROGRAMME REVIEW HANDBOOK Some of the terms used in the Handbook and/or used in internal and external review and reporting may have different meanings according to the context in which they are used. To remove possible ambiguities, the following working definitions of the terms are offered. ADEMIC FIELDS/SUBJECT AREAS/DISCIPLINES Academic fields categorise recognisable and coherent domains or the scope of study such as Mathematics, Medicine, Engineering and Philosophy. Fields that have a wide scope are often subdivided; for example, Humanities include subjects like History and Literature and Arts may include separate disciplines of Fine Arts and Photography. The curriculum of some programmes may combine academic fields, or may include different subjects and disciplines such as Mathematics in Engineering or Accountancy in Business Administration. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Specific standards decided by the institution, and informed by external reference points. They include the minimum or threshold level of knowledge and skills to be gained by the graduates from the programme, and can be used in evaluation and review. ACCREDITATION The recognition accorded by an agency or other organisation to either an education programme or to an institution to confirm that it can demonstrate that the programme(s) meet acceptable standards and that the institution has effective systems to ensure the quality and continuing improvement of its academic activities, according to published criteria. ACTION OR IMPROVEMENT PLANS Realistic plans for improvement derived from the consideration of available evidence and evaluations; they may be implemented for more than one year, but should be prepared and reviewed annually at each level of courses, programmes and the institution. ADMITTED STUDENTS Students registered on a programme, including those accepted holding prior credits for admission after year 1. BENCHMARK/REFERENCE POINTS Benchmark statements represent general expectations about the standards of achievement and general attributes to be expected of a graduate in a given academic field or subject. Reference standards may be external or internal. External reference points allow comparison of the academic standards and quality of a programme with equivalent programmes in Iraq and internationally. Internal reference points may be used to compare one academic field with another, or to identify trends over a given time period.
COMMUNITY A defined segment of wider society served by the institution, as determined in its mission and bylaws. It may be defined geographically or in terms of the range of organizations, groups and individuals engaged in its activities. COURSE AIMS Overall course aims should be expressed as the outcomes to be achieved by students completing the course as significant and assessable qualities. They should contribute to the achievement of defined aims within one or more education programmes. CURRICULUM OR (IN THE PLURAL) CURRICULA The complete organised learning as designed and managed by an institution for an admitted student, determined by the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) and comprising the content, the arrangements for teaching and learning and assessments of students’ achievements together with the access to the range of facilities available within the University and, by arrangement, outside it, including libraries, computers studies, social, sports, internships and field studies. DIRECTED SELF-LEARNING/INDEPENDENT LEARNING The active promotion of personal skills included in the curriculum that support the student and graduate to seek, assimilate and learn from a range of structured and unstructured experiences. Methods of promotion include e-learning, personal and autonomous learning and fieldwork, assignments, internships, and reflexive learning. Devices commonly used that support directed self-learning beyond formal teaching lectures include logbooks, self-assessment reports, interactive learning tools or the equivalent. E-LEARNING Electronic-based learning using information technology may be the primary or secondary element in material associated with a programme or a course. It may be stand-alone or integrated with other teaching and learning approaches. It may include self-determination of aims, ILOs and materials using self-selection and will usually include self-assessment. It generally increases the levels of autonomy in, and responsibility for, learning. Converting existing texts or lecture notes to a website or pre-recorded media alone is generally not considered to be e-learning. EXTERNAL EVALUATOR/EVALUATION An appointment to a specific programme, part of a programme or course(s) by the institution to establish an independent and external professional opinion on the academic standards set and achieved in the examinations for the award of the degree. FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATION The framework for evaluation provides a standard structure for evaluation of programmes. It will form the basis for self-evaluation, the site visit by external peer reviewers and the Programme Review report. It is designed to operate in all academic fields and institutions, and to apply to internal and external reviews.
GENERAL PRECEPTS/BY-LAWS Principles, by-laws and regulations, which the educational institution must have as part of the policies covering its operations. HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTE (HEI)/INSTITUTION A Faculty, College or University providing higher education programmes leading to a first university degree (B.Sc. or B.A.) or a higher degree. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOS) The ILOs are the outcome-related definition of knowledge, understanding and skills which the institution intends for its programmes. They should be mission-related, capable of measurement (assessable) and reflect the use of external reference standards at appropriate level. INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND ASSURANCE The system adopted by the institution to ensure that its education programmes and contributing elements meet specified needs and are continually reviewed and improved. An outcomes-related system of quality management involves precise specifications for quality from design to delivery; evaluation; the identification of good practice as well as of learning deficiencies and obstacles; performance follow-up; suggestions for development and enhancement; and the systematic review and development of processes for establishing effective policies, strategies and priorities to support continuing improvement. JOB/LABOUR MARKET The availability of professional, commercial, research-oriented or other fields of employment that a graduate is qualified to join upon graduation. MISSION STATEMENT A brief statement clearly identifying the educational institution’s duty and its role in the development of the community; a mission statement may also offer brief supporting statements on the vision, values and strategic objectives of the institution. PEER REVIEWER A person who is professionally equal in calibre and with management and/or subject expertise to those delivering the provision, but not from the same institution and without any conflict of interest, who can contribute to the review of an education programme for internal and external quality assurance or for accreditation purposes. PROGRAMME For the purpose of Programme Review an education programme is defined as one which admits students who, on successful completion, receive an academic award.
PROGRAMME AIMS The broad purposes for providing the programme which in turn guide the development and implementation of strategic objectives (to ensure that the aims are met) and ILOs (to ensure that the students work towards attaining the specified outcomes). PROGRAMME REVIEW Programme Review applies to all education programmes in all higher education institutions. Where the programme is studied in more than one institution, the whole programme is included in Programme Review. Programme Review in Iraq has three objectives:
1) To provide decision-makers (in the higher education institutions, Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate , parents, students, and other stakeholders) with evidence-based judgements on the quality of learning programmes
2) To support the development of internal quality assurance processes with information on emerging good practice and challenges, evaluative comment and continuing improvement
3) To enhance the reputation of Iraq’s higher education internationally.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The institution has the means of assuring that for each education programme, academic standards are defined and achieved in line with equivalent national and international standards, that the quality of the curriculum and related infrastructure are appropriate and fulfil the expectations of the range of stakeholders, that its graduates represent the range of attributes specified and that the organisation is capable of sustained, continuing improvement. REVIEW COORDINATOR The nominee of an institution to coordinate a Programme Review to assist in the gathering and interpretation of information and to support the application of published methods of review. REPORT The regular reports prepared on the basis of Programme Reviews and evaluations of its education programme. SELF-EVALUATION n institution’s process of evaluating a programme as part of Programme Review and within an internal system of quality management and assurance. SITE VISIT A scheduled visit by external peer reviewers as part of Programme Review. Normally the site visit will be for two or three days. A typical outline timetable is provided in Appendix(1).
SPECIFICATION The detailed description of the aims, construction and intended outcomes of a programme, and any courses, specific facilities or resources that contribute to it. The specification provides information to design, manage, deliver and review the programme. STAKEHOLDER Those organisations, groups or individuals which have a legitimate interest in the educational activities of the institution both in respect of the quality and standards of the education and also in respect of the effectiveness of the systems and processes for assuring the quality. An effective strategic review process will include the key stakeholder groups. The precise range of stakeholder groups and their differentiated interests depend upon the mission of the institution, its range of educational activities and local circumstances. The range is usually defined by a scoping study. Examples of groups with a legitimate interest include current students, graduates, intending students and their parents or family, staff in the institution, the employing community, the relevant Government ministries, the sponsors and other funding organisations and, where appropriate, professional organisations or syndicates. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES/PLANS A collection of institution-specific objectives that are derived from its mission and developed into a realistic plan based on evidence-based evaluations. Objectives concentrate on the means by which an institution seeks to deliver its mission. The plan sets out the matters to be addressed, timeframe, person responsible and estimate of costs, and is accompanied by an implementation plan with arrangements for monitoring the progress and evaluating impact. STUDENTS’ASSESSMENT A set of processes, including examinations and other activities conducted by the institution to measure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of a programme and its courses. Assessments also provide the means by which students are ranked according to their achievement. Diagnostic assessment seeks to determine the existing range of knowledge and skills of a student with a view to constructing an appropriate curriculum. Formative assessment provides information on the student’s performance and progress to support further learning, without necessarily counting a grade towards graduation. Summative assessment determines the final level of attainment of the student on the programme or at the end of a course that contributes credits to the programme.
STUDENTS’ EVALUATIONS The systematic gathering of students’opinions on the quality of their programme in a standardized structure together with the analysis and outcomes. Surveys using questionnaires are the most frequently used methods to collect opinions; other mechanisms include websites conferences, panels or focus groups, and representation on councils or other committees. TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS The range of methods used by teachers to help students to achieve the ILOs for the course. Examples include: lectures, small group teaching such as tutorials, seminars and syndicate groups; a case study to teach students how to analyse information and reach a decision; assignments such as writing a review paper for the students to gain the skills of self-learning and presentation; field trips; practical sessions for the students to gain practical skills; and carrying out experiments to train the students to analyse the results, reach specific conclusions and prepare a report, presentation or poster.

CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF THE PROCESS
CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW 1. The criteria for a successful review that informs the arrangements for Programme Review and
its evaluation are as follows: i. The programme being reviewed is supported by existing or developing internal
systems including specifications and review with a culture of self-evaluation and continuing improvement. These features of internal review provide a sound basis for the external review.
ii. The timing of the external review is appropriate. iii. The profile of the visiting peer review panel matches in broad terms the profile of
the academic activities in the institution. iv. There is due attention to detail in planning and preparation, by -
a. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate applies consistently its procedures for working with the institution and the reviewers and provides appropriate support for the external review as required
b. The review coordinator: ensures that the evidence base generated by internal review and reporting systems is available on time to the visiting peer reviewers, and any requirements for clarification and supplementary information are satisfied
c. The institution: provides a self-evaluation report for the programme to be externally reviewed
d. The peer reviewers: undertake their preparation for the visit including reading the advance documentation and preparing initial commentaries that inform the conduct of the visit
v. There is consistency in the application of the published review method and the protocols by all participants in a way that respects and supports the mission and philosophy of the overall process for continuing review and continuing improvement.
vi. Reviewers and representatives of the institution conduct an open dialogue throughout the review that shows mutual respect.
vii. The judgements reached by the reviewers are clear, based on the evidence available and systematically recorded.
viii. The review report is produced on time in line with the standard report structure and is confirmed by the institution to be factually accurate.
ix. The set of conclusions arising from the review are constructive, offering a fair and balanced view of the programme.
x. The institution is able to benefit from the external review by giving due reflection and consideration to the findings and preparing where appropriate a realistic improvement plan
EVALUATION
2. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate wishes to establish and implement procedures for the systematic evaluation of all external Programme Reviews arranged by it. The institution, the review chairperson and the peer reviewers will all routinely be asked to evaluate each external review by completing a short questionnaire. The structured comments will be analysed by the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate and where necessary the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will take action to follow-up any difficulties highlighted. In addition, the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will collate the structured comments to compile regular summary reports indicating the main features of the review process in practice, including the overall levels of satisfaction expressed by the participants, together with examples of good practice and opportunities for continuing improvement.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS IN PROGRAMME RE-
VIEW DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THE PROGRAMME REVIEW HANDBOOK Some of the terms used in the Handbook and/or used in internal and external review and reporting may have different meanings according to the context in which they are used. To remove possible ambiguities, the following working definitions of the terms are offered. ADEMIC FIELDS/SUBJECT AREAS/DISCIPLINES Academic fields categorise recognisable and coherent domains or the scope of study such as Mathematics, Medicine, Engineering and Philosophy. Fields that have a wide scope are often subdivided; for example, Humanities include subjects like History and Literature and Arts may include separate disciplines of Fine Arts and Photography. The curriculum of some programmes may combine academic fields, or may include different subjects and disciplines such as Mathematics in Engineering or Accountancy in Business Administration. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Specific standards decided by the institution, and informed by external reference points. They include the minimum or threshold level of knowledge and skills to be gained by the graduates from the programme, and can be used in evaluation and review. ACCREDITATION The recognition accorded by an agency or other organisation to either an education programme or to an institution to confirm that it can demonstrate that the programme(s) meet acceptable standards and that the institution has effective systems to ensure the quality and continuing improvement of its academic activities, according to published criteria. ACTION OR IMPROVEMENT PLANS Realistic plans for improvement derived from the consideration of available evidence and evaluations; they may be implemented for more than one year, but should be prepared and reviewed annually at each level of courses, programmes and the institution. ADMITTED STUDENTS Students registered on a programme, including those accepted holding prior credits for
admission after year 1. BENCHMARK/REFERENCE POINTS Benchmark statements represent general expectations about the standards of achievement and general attributes to be expected of a graduate in a given academic field or subject. Reference standards may be external or internal. External reference points allow comparison of the academic standards and quality of a programme with equivalent programmes in Iraq and internationally. Internal reference points may be used to compare one academic field with another, or to identify trends over a given time period. COMMUNITY A defined segment of wider society served by the institution, as determined in its mission and bylaws. It may be defined geographically or in terms of the range of organizations, groups and individuals engaged in its activities. COURSE AIMS Overall course aims should be expressed as the outcomes to be achieved by students completing the course as significant and assessable qualities. They should contribute to the achievement of defined aims within one or more education programmes. CURRICULUM OR (IN THE PLURAL) CURRICULA The complete organised learning as designed and managed by an institution for an admitted student, determined by the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) and comprising the content, the arrangements for teaching and learning and assessments of students’ achievements together with the access to the range of facilities available within the University and, by arrangement, outside it, including libraries, computers studies, social, sports, internships and field studies. DIRECTED SELF-LEARNING/INDEPENDENT LEARNING The active promotion of personal skills included in the curriculum that support the student and graduate to seek, assimilate and learn from a range of structured and unstructured experiences. Methods of promotion include e-learning, personal and autonomous learning and fieldwork, assignments, internships, and reflexive learning. Devices commonly used that support directed self-learning beyond formal teaching lectures include logbooks, self-assessment reports, interactive learning tools or the equivalent. E-LEARNING Electronic-based learning using information technology may be the primary or secondary element in material associated with a programme or a course. It may be stand-alone or integrated with other teaching and learning approaches. It may include self-determination of aims, ILOs and materials using self-selection and will usually include self-assessment. It generally increases the levels of autonomy in, and responsibility for, learning. Converting existing texts or lecture notes to a website or pre-recorded media alone is generally not considered to be e-learning. EXTERNAL EVALUATOR/EVALUATION An appointment to a specific programme, part of a programme or course(s) by the institution
to establish an independent and external professional opinion on the academic standards set and achieved in the examinations for the award of the degree. FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATION The framework for evaluation provides a standard structure for evaluation of programmes. It will form the basis for self-evaluation, the site visit by external peer reviewers and the Programme Review report. It is designed to operate in all academic fields and institutions, and to apply to internal and external reviews. GENERAL PRECEPTS/BY-LAWS Principles, by-laws and regulations, which the educational institution must have as part of the policies covering its operations. HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTE (HEI)/INSTITUTION A Faculty, College or University providing higher education programmes leading to a first university degree (B.Sc. or B.A.) or a higher degree. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOS) The ILOs are the outcome-related definition of knowledge, understanding and skills which the institution intends for its programmes. They should be mission-related, capable of measurement (assessable) and reflect the use of external reference standards at appropriate level. INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND ASSURANCE The system adopted by the institution to ensure that its education programmes and contributing elements meet specified needs and are continually reviewed and improved. An outcomes-related system of quality management involves precise specifications for quality from design to delivery; evaluation; the identification of good practice as well as of learning deficiencies and obstacles; performance follow-up; suggestions for development and enhancement; and the systematic review and development of processes for establishing effective policies, strategies and priorities to support continuing improvement. JOB/LABOUR MARKET The availability of professional, commercial, research-oriented or other fields of employment that a graduate is qualified to join upon graduation. MISSION STATEMENT A brief statement clearly identifying the educational institution’s duty and its role in the development of the community; a mission statement may also offer brief supporting statements on the vision, values and strategic objectives of the institution. PEER REVIEWER A person who is professionally equal in calibre and with management and/or subject expertise to those delivering the provision, but not from the same institution and without any conflict of
interest, who can contribute to the review of an education programme for internal and external quality assurance or for accreditation purposes. PROGRAMME For the purpose of Programme Review an education programme is defined as one which admits students who, on successful completion, receive an academic award. PROGRAMME AIMS The broad purposes for providing the programme which in turn guide the development and implementation of strategic objectives (to ensure that the aims are met) and ILOs (to ensure that the students work towards attaining the specified outcomes). PROGRAMME REVIEW Programme Review applies to all education programmes in all higher education institutions. Where the programme is studied in more than one institution, the whole programme is included in Programme Review. Programme Review in Iraq has three objectives:
1) To provide decision-makers (in the higher education institutions, Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate , parents, students, and other stakeholders) with evidence-based judgements on the quality of learning programmes
2) To support the development of internal quality assurance processes with information on emerging good practice and challenges, evaluative comment and continuing improvement
3) To enhance the reputation of Iraq’s higher education internationally.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The institution has the means of assuring that for each education programme, academic standards are defined and achieved in line with equivalent national and international standards, that the quality of the curriculum and related infrastructure are appropriate and fulfil the expectations of the range of stakeholders, that its graduates represent the range of attributes specified and that the organisation is capable of sustained, continuing improvement. REVIEW COORDINATOR The nominee of an institution to coordinate a Programme Review to assist in the gathering and interpretation of information and to support the application of published methods of review. REPORT The regular reports prepared on the basis of Programme Reviews and evaluations of its education programme. SELF-EVALUATION n institution’s process of evaluating a programme as part of Programme Review and within an internal system of quality management and assurance.
SITE VISIT A scheduled visit by external peer reviewers as part of Programme Review. Normally the site visit will be for two or three days. A typical outline timetable is provided in Appendix(1).
SPECIFICATION The detailed description of the aims, construction and intended outcomes of a programme, and any courses, specific facilities or resources that contribute to it. The specification provides information to design, manage, deliver and review the programme. STAKEHOLDER Those organisations, groups or individuals which have a legitimate interest in the educational activities of the institution both in respect of the quality and standards of the education and also in respect of the effectiveness of the systems and processes for assuring the quality. An effective strategic review process will include the key stakeholder groups. The precise range of stakeholder groups and their differentiated interests depend upon the mission of the institution, its range of educational activities and local circumstances. The range is usually defined by a scoping study. Examples of groups with a legitimate interest include current students, graduates, intending students and their parents or family, staff in the institution, the employing community, the relevant Government ministries, the sponsors and other funding organisations and, where appropriate, professional organisations or syndicates. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES/PLANS A collection of institution-specific objectives that are derived from its mission and developed into a realistic plan based on evidence-based evaluations. Objectives concentrate on the means by which an institution seeks to deliver its mission. The plan sets out the matters to be addressed, timeframe, person responsible and estimate of costs, and is accompanied by an implementation plan with arrangements for monitoring the progress and evaluating impact. STUDENTS’ASSESSMENT A set of processes, including examinations and other activities conducted by the institution to measure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of a programme and its courses. Assessments also provide the means by which students are ranked according to their achievement. Diagnostic assessment seeks to determine the existing range of knowledge and skills of a student with a view to constructing an appropriate curriculum. Formative assessment provides information on the student’s performance and progress to support further learning, without necessarily counting a grade towards graduation. Summative assessment determines the final level of attainment of the student on the programme or at the end of a course that contributes credits to the programme.
STUDENTS’ EVALUATIONS The systematic gathering of students’opinions on the quality of their programme in a standardized structure together with the analysis and outcomes. Surveys using questionnaires are the most frequently used methods to collect opinions; other mechanisms include websites conferences, panels or focus groups, and representation on councils or other committees.
TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS The range of methods used by teachers to help students to achieve the ILOs for the course. Examples include: lectures, small group teaching such as tutorials, seminars and syndicate groups; a case study to teach students how to analyse information and reach a decision; assignments such as writing a review paper for the students to gain the skills of self-learning and presentation; field trips; practical sessions for the students to gain practical skills; and carrying out experiments to train the students to analyse the results, reach specific conclusions and prepare a report, presentation or poster.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS IN PROGRAMME RE-
VIEW DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THE PROGRAMME REVIEW HANDBOOK Some of the terms used in the Handbook and/or used in internal and external review and reportingmay have different meanings according to the context in which they are used. To remove possibleambiguities, the following working definitions of the terms are offered. ADEMIC FIELDS/SUBJECT AREAS/DISCIPLINES Academic fields categoriserecognisable and coherent domains or the scope of study such asMathematics, Medicine, Engineering and Philosophy. Fields that have a wide scope are oftensubdivided; for example, Humanities include subjects like History and Literature and Arts mayinclude separate disciplines of Fine Arts and Photography. The curriculum of someprogrammes may combine academic fields, or may include different subjects and disciplines suchas Mathematics in Engineering or Accountancy in Business Administration.

Internal reference pointsmay be used to compare one academic field with another, or to identify trends over agiven time period. COMMUNITY A defined segment of wider society served by the institution, as determined in its mission andbylaws. It may be defined geographically or in terms of the range of organizations, groups andindividuals engaged in its activities. COURSE AIMS Overall course aims should be expressed as the outcomes to be achieved by students completingthe course as significant and assessable qualities. They should contribute to the achievement ofdefined aims within one or more education programmes. CURRICULUM OR (IN THE PLURAL) CURRICULA The complete organised learning as designed and managed by an institution for an admittedstudent, determined by the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) and comprising the content,the arrangements for teaching and learning and assessments of students’ achievementstogether with the access to the range of facilities available within the University and, byarrangement, outside it, including libraries, computers studies, social, sports, internshipsand field studies. DIRECTED SELF-LEARNING/INDEPENDENT LEARNING The active promotion of personal skills included in the curriculum that support the student andgraduate to seek, assimilate and learn from a range of structured and unstructured experiences.Methods of promotion include e-learning, personal and autonomous learning and fieldwork,assignments, internships, and reflexive learning.

Convertingexisting texts or lecture notes to a website or pre-recorded media alone is generally notconsidered to be e-learning. EXTERNAL EVALUATOR/EVALUATION An appointment to a specific programme, part of a programme or course(s) by the institution toestablish an independent and external professional opinion on the academic standards set andachieved in the examinations for the award of the degree. FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATION The framework for evaluation provides a standard structure for evaluation of programmes. It willform the basis for self-evaluation, the site visit by external peer reviewers and the ProgrammeReview report. It is designed to operate in all academic fields and institutions, and to apply tointernal and external reviews. GENERAL PRECEPTS/BY-LAWS Principles, by-laws and regulations, which the educational institution must have as part of thepolicies covering its operations. HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTE (HEI)/INSTITUTION A Faculty, College or University providing higher education programmes leading to a first universitydegree (B.Sc. or B.A.) or a higher degree. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOS) The ILOs are the outcome-related definition of knowledge, understanding and skills which the institution intends for its programmes. They should be mission-related, capable ofmeasurement (assessable) and reflect the use of external reference standards at appropriate level. INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND ASSURANCE The system adopted by the institution to ensure that its education programmes and contributingelements meet specified needs and are continually reviewed and improved. An outcomes-relatedsystem of quality management involves precise specifications for quality from design to delivery;evaluation; the identification of good practice as well as of learning deficiencies and obstacles;performance follow-up; suggestions for development and enhancement; and the systematic reviewand development of processes for establishing effective policies, strategies and priorities to supportcontinuing improvement. JOB/LABOUR MARKET The availability of professional, commercial, research-oriented or other fields of employment thata graduate is qualified to join upon graduation.
MISSION STATEMENT A brief statement clearly identifying the educational institution’s duty and its role in the developmentof the community; a mission statement may also offer brief supporting statementson the vision, values and strategic objectives of the institution. PEER REVIEWER A person who is professionally equal in calibre and with management and/or subject expertiseto those delivering the provision, but not from the same institution and without any conflict ofinterest, who can contribute to the review of an education programme for internal and externalquality assurance or for accreditation purposes. PROGRAMME For the purpose of Programme Review an education programme is defined as one which admitsstudents who, on successful completion, receive an academic award. PROGRAMME AIMS The broad purposes for providing the programme which in turn guide the development and implementation of strategic objectives (to ensure that the aims are met) and ILOs (to ensure thatthe students work towards attaining the specified outcomes). PROGRAMME REVIEW Programme Review applies to all education programmes in all higher education institutions. Where the programme is studied in more than one institution, the whole programme is includedin Programme Review. Programme Review in Iraq has three objectives:
1) To provide decision-makers (in the higher education institutions,Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate, parents, students, and other stakeholders) with evidence-based judgements on the qualityof learning programmes
2) To support the development of internal quality assurance processes with informationon emerging good practice and challenges, evaluative comment and continuingimprovement
3) To enhance the reputation of Iraq’s higher education internationally.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The institution has the means of assuring that for each education programme, academic standardsare defined and achieved in line with equivalent national and international standards, that thequality of the curriculum and related infrastructure are appropriate and fulfil the expectations ofthe range of stakeholders, that its graduates represent the range of attributes specified and that theorganisation is capable of sustained, continuing improvement. REVIEW COORDINATOR The nominee of an institution to coordinate a Programme Review to assist in the gathering andinterpretation of information and to support the application of published methods of review.
REPORT The regular reports prepared on the basis of Programme Reviews and evaluations of its educationprogramme. SELF-EVALUATION n institution’s process of evaluating a programme as part of Programme Review and within aninternal system of quality management and assurance. SITE VISIT A scheduled visit by external peer reviewers as part of Programme Review. Normally the site visitwill be for two or three days. A typical outline timetable is provided in Appendix(1).
SPECIFICATION The detailed description of the aims, construction and intended outcomes of a programme, and anycourses, specific facilities or resources that contribute to it. The specification provides informationto design, manage, deliver and review the programme. STAKEHOLDER Those organisations, groups or individuals which have a legitimate interest in the educationalactivities of the institution both in respect of the quality and standards of the education and alsoin respect of the effectiveness of the systems and processes for assuring the quality. An effectivestrategic review process will include the key stakeholder groups. The precise range of stakeholdergroups and their differentiated interests depend upon the mission of the institution, its range ofeducational activities and local circumstances. The range is usually defined by a scoping study.Examples of groups with a legitimate interest include current students, graduates, intendingstudents and their parents or family, staff in the institution, the employing community, the relevantGovernment ministries, the sponsors and other funding organisations and, where appropriate,professional organisations or syndicates. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES/PLANS A collection of institution-specific objectives that are derived from its mission and developed into arealistic plan based on evidence-based evaluations. Objectives concentrate on the means by whichan institution seeks to deliver its mission. The plan sets out the matters to be addressed, timeframe,person responsible and estimate of costs, and is accompanied by an implementation plan witharrangements for monitoring the progress and evaluating impact. STUDENTS’ASSESSMENT A set of processes, including examinations and other activities conducted by the institution tomeasure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of a programme and its courses.Assessments also provide the means by which students are ranked according to their achievement.Diagnostic assessment seeks to determine the existing range of knowledge and skills of a studentwith a view to constructing an appropriate curriculum. Formative assessment provides informationon the student’s performance and progress to support further learning, without necessarily countinga grade towards graduation. Summative assessment determines
the final level of attainment of thestudent on the programme or at the end of a course that contributes credits to the programme.
STUDENTS’ EVALUATIONS The systematic gathering of students’opinions on the quality of their programme in a standardizedstructure together with the analysis and outcomes. Surveys using questionnaires are the mostfrequently used methods to collect opinions; other mechanisms include websites conferences,panels or focus groups, and representation on councils or other committees. TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS The range of methods used by teachers to help students to achieve the ILOs for the course. Examples include: lectures, small group teaching such as tutorials, seminars and syndicate groups;a case study to teach students how to analyse information and reach a decision; assignments suchas writing a review paper for the students to gain the skills of self-learning and presentation; fieldtrips; practical sessions for the students to gain practical skills; and carrying out experiments to trainthe students to analyse the results, reach specific conclusions and prepare a report, presentation or poster.

JOB/LABOUR MARKET The availability of professional, commercial, research-oriented or other fields of employment thata graduate is qualified to join upon graduation. MISSION STATEMENT A brief statement clearly identifying the educational institution’s duty and its role in the developmentof the community; a mission statement may also offer brief supporting statementson the vision, values and strategic objectives of the institution. PEER REVIEWER A person who is professionally equal in calibre and with management and/or subject expertiseto those delivering the provision, but not from the same institution and without any conflict ofinterest, who can contribute to the review of an education programme for internal and externalquality assurance or for accreditation purposes. PROGRAMME For the purpose of Programme Review an education programme is defined as one which admitsstudents who, on successful completion, receive an academic award. PROGRAMME AIMS The broad purposes for providing the programme which in turn guide the development and implementation of strategic objectives (to ensure that the aims are met) and ILOs (to ensure thatthe students work towards attaining the specified outcomes). PROGRAMME REVIEW Programme Review applies to all education programmes in all higher education institutions. Where the programme is studied in more than one institution, the whole programme is includedin Programme Review. Programme Review in Iraq has three objectives:
1) To provide decision-makers (in the higher education institutions,Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate, parents, students, and other stakeholders) with evidence-based judgements on the qualityof learning programmes
2) To support the development of internal quality assurance processes with informationon emerging good practice and challenges, evaluative comment and continuingimprovement
3) To enhance the reputation of Iraq’s higher education internationally.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The institution has the means of assuring that for each education programme, academic standardsare defined and achieved in line with equivalent national and international standards, that thequality of the curriculum and related infrastructure are appropriate and fulfil the expectations ofthe range of stakeholders, that its graduates represent the range of attributes specified and that theorganisation is capable of sustained, continuing improvement. REVIEW COORDINATOR The nominee of an institution to coordinate a Programme Review to assist in the gathering andinterpretation of information and to support the application of published methods of review. REPORT The regular reports prepared on the basis of Programme Reviews and evaluations of its educationprogramme. SELF-EVALUATION n institution’s process of evaluating a programme as part of Programme Review and within aninternal system of quality management and assurance. SITE VISIT A scheduled visit by external peer reviewers as part of Programme Review. Normally the site visitwill be for two or three days. A typical outline timetable is provided in Appendix(1).
SPECIFICATION The detailed description of the aims, construction and intended outcomes of a programme, and anycourses, specific facilities or resources that contribute to it. The specification provides informationto design, manage, deliver and review the programme. STAKEHOLDER Those organisations, groups or individuals which have a legitimate interest in the educationalactivities of the institution both in respect of the quality and standards of the education and alsoin respect of the effectiveness of the systems and processes for assuring the quality. An effectivestrategic review process will include the key stakeholder groups. The precise range of stakeholdergroups and their differentiated interests depend upon the mission of the institution, its range ofeducational activities and local circumstances. The range is usually defined by a scoping study.Examples of groups with a legitimate interest include current students, graduates, intendingstudents and their parents or family, staff in the institution, the employing community, the relevantGovernment ministries, the sponsors and other funding organisations and, where appropriate,professional organisations or syndicates. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES/PLANS A collection of institution-specific objectives that are derived from its mission and developed
into arealistic plan based on evidence-based evaluations. Objectives concentrate on the means by whichan institution seeks to deliver its mission. The plan sets out the matters to be addressed, timeframe,person responsible and estimate of costs, and is accompanied by an implementation plan witharrangements for monitoring the progress and evaluating impact. STUDENTS’ASSESSMENT A set of processes, including examinations and other activities conducted by the institution tomeasure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of a programme and its courses.Assessments also provide the means by which students are ranked according to their achievement.Diagnostic assessment seeks to determine the existing range of knowledge and skills of a studentwith a view to constructing an appropriate curriculum. Formative assessment provides informationon the student’s performance and progress to support further learning, without necessarily countinga grade towards graduation. Summative assessment determines the final level of attainment of thestudent on the programme or at the end of a course that contributes credits to the programme.
STUDENTS’ EVALUATIONS The systematic gathering of students’opinions on the quality of their programme in a standardizedstructure together with the analysis and outcomes. Surveys using questionnaires are the mostfrequently used methods to collect opinions; other mechanisms include websites conferences,panels or focus groups, and representation on councils or other committees. TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS The range of methods used by teachers to help students to achieve the ILOs for the course. Examples include: lectures, small group teaching such as tutorials, seminars and syndicate groups;a case study to teach students how to analyse information and reach a decision; assignments suchas writing a review paper for the students to gain the skills of self-learning and presentation; fieldtrips; practical sessions for the students to gain practical skills; and carrying out experiments to trainthe students to analyse the results, reach specific conclusions and prepare a report, presentation or poster.

CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF THE PROCESS
CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW 1. The criteria for a successful review that informs the arrangements for Programme Review and
its evaluation are as follows: i. The programme being reviewed is supported by existing or developing internal
systems including specifications and review with a culture of self-evaluation and continuing improvement. These features of internal review provide a sound basis for the external review.
ii. The timing of the external review is appropriate. iii. The profile of the visiting peer review panel matches in broad terms the profile of
the academic activities in the institution. iv. There is due attention to detail in planning and preparation, by -
a. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate applies consistently its procedures for working with the institution and the reviewers and provides appropriate support for the external review as required
b. The review coordinator: ensures that the evidence base generated by internal review and reporting systems is available on time to the visiting peer reviewers, and any requirements for clarification and supplementary information are satisfied
c. The institution: provides a self-evaluation report for the programme to be externally reviewed
d. The peer reviewers: undertake their preparation for the visit including reading the advance documentation and preparing initial commentaries that inform the conduct of the visit
v. There is consistency in the application of the published review method and the protocols by all participants in a way that respects and supports the mission and philosophy of the overall process for continuing review and continuing improvement.
vi. Reviewers and representatives of the institution conduct an open dialogue throughout the review that shows mutual respect.
vii. The judgements reached by the reviewers are clear, based on the evidence available and systematically recorded.
viii. The review report is produced on time in line with the standard report structure and is confirmed by the institution to be factually accurate.
ix. The set of conclusions arising from the review are constructive, offering a fair and balanced view of the programme.
x. The institution is able to benefit from the external review by giving due reflection and consideration to the findings and preparing where appropriate a realistic improvement plan
EVALUATION 2. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate wishes to establish and
implement procedures for the systematic evaluation of all external Programme Reviews arranged by it. The institution, the review chairperson and the peer reviewers will all routinely be asked to evaluate each external review by completing a short questionnaire. The structured comments will be analysed by the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate and where necessary the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will take action to follow-up any difficulties highlighted. In addition, the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will collate the structured comments to compile regular summary reports indicating the main features of the review process in practice, including the overall levels of satisfaction expressed by the participants, together with examples of good practice and opportunities for continuing improvement.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS IN PROGRAMME RE-
VIEW DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THE PROGRAMME REVIEW HANDBOOK Some of the terms used in the Handbook and/or used in internal and external review and reporting may have different meanings according to the context in which they are used. To remove possible ambiguities, the following working definitions of the terms are offered. ADEMIC FIELDS/SUBJECT AREAS/DISCIPLINES Academic fields categorise recognisable and coherent domains or the scope of study such as Mathematics, Medicine, Engineering and Philosophy. Fields that have a wide scope are often subdivided; for example, Humanities include subjects like History and Literature and Arts may include separate disciplines of Fine Arts and Photography. The curriculum of some programmes may combine academic fields, or may include different subjects and disciplines such as Mathematics in Engineering or Accountancy in Business Administration. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Specific standards decided by the institution, and informed by external reference points. They include the minimum or threshold level of knowledge and skills to be gained by the graduates from the programme, and can be used in evaluation and review. ACCREDITATION The recognition accorded by an agency or other organisation to either an education programme or to an institution to confirm that it can demonstrate that the programme(s) meet acceptable standards and that the institution has effective systems to ensure the quality and continuing improvement of its academic activities, according to published criteria. ACTION OR IMPROVEMENT PLANS Realistic plans for improvement derived from the consideration of available evidence and evaluations; they may be implemented for more than one year, but should be prepared and reviewed annually at each level of courses, programmes and the institution. ADMITTED STUDENTS Students registered on a programme, including those accepted holding prior credits for admission after year 1. BENCHMARK/REFERENCE POINTS Benchmark statements represent general expectations about the standards of achievement and general attributes to be expected of a graduate in a given academic field or subject. Reference standards may be external or internal. External reference points allow comparison of the academic standards and quality of a programme with equivalent programmes in Iraq and internationally. Internal reference points may be used to compare one academic field with another, or to identify trends over a given time period.
COMMUNITY A defined segment of wider society served by the institution, as determined in its mission and bylaws. It may be defined geographically or in terms of the range of organizations, groups and individuals engaged in its activities. COURSE AIMS Overall course aims should be expressed as the outcomes to be achieved by students completing the course as significant and assessable qualities. They should contribute to the achievement of defined aims within one or more education programmes. CURRICULUM OR (IN THE PLURAL) CURRICULA The complete organised learning as designed and managed by an institution for an admitted student, determined by the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) and comprising the content, the arrangements for teaching and learning and assessments of students’ achievements together with the access to the range of facilities available within the University and, by arrangement, outside it, including libraries, computers studies, social, sports, internships and field studies. DIRECTED SELF-LEARNING/INDEPENDENT LEARNING The active promotion of personal skills included in the curriculum that support the student and graduate to seek, assimilate and learn from a range of structured and unstructured experiences. Methods of promotion include e-learning, personal and autonomous learning and fieldwork, assignments, internships, and reflexive learning. Devices commonly used that support directed self-learning beyond formal teaching lectures include logbooks, self-assessment reports, interactive learning tools or the equivalent. E-LEARNING Electronic-based learning using information technology may be the primary or secondary element in material associated with a programme or a course. It may be stand-alone or integrated with other teaching and learning approaches. It may include self-determination of aims, ILOs and materials using self-selection and will usually include self-assessment. It generally increases the levels of autonomy in, and responsibility for, learning. Converting existing texts or lecture notes to a website or pre-recorded media alone is generally not considered to be e-learning. EXTERNAL EVALUATOR/EVALUATION An appointment to a specific programme, part of a programme or course(s) by the institution to establish an independent and external professional opinion on the academic standards set and achieved in the examinations for the award of the degree. FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATION The framework for evaluation provides a standard structure for evaluation of programmes. It will form the basis for self-evaluation, the site visit by external peer reviewers and the Programme Review report. It is designed to operate in all academic fields and institutions, and to apply to internal and external reviews.
GENERAL PRECEPTS/BY-LAWS Principles, by-laws and regulations, which the educational institution must have as part of the policies covering its operations. HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTE (HEI)/INSTITUTION A Faculty, College or University providing higher education programmes leading to a first university degree (B.Sc. or B.A.) or a higher degree. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOS) The ILOs are the outcome-related definition of knowledge, understanding and skills which the institution intends for its programmes. They should be mission-related, capable of measurement (assessable) and reflect the use of external reference standards at appropriate level. INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND ASSURANCE The system adopted by the institution to ensure that its education programmes and contributing elements meet specified needs and are continually reviewed and improved. An outcomes-related system of quality management involves precise specifications for quality from design to delivery; evaluation; the identification of good practice as well as of learning deficiencies and obstacles; performance follow-up; suggestions for development and enhancement; and the systematic review and development of processes for establishing effective policies, strategies and priorities to support continuing improvement. JOB/LABOUR MARKET The availability of professional, commercial, research-oriented or other fields of employment that a graduate is qualified to join upon graduation. MISSION STATEMENT A brief statement clearly identifying the educational institution’s duty and its role in the development of the community; a mission statement may also offer brief supporting statements on the vision, values and strategic objectives of the institution. PEER REVIEWER A person who is professionally equal in calibre and with management and/or subject expertise to those delivering the provision, but not from the same institution and without any conflict of interest, who can contribute to the review of an education programme for internal and external quality assurance or for accreditation purposes. PROGRAMME For the purpose of Programme Review an education programme is defined as one which admits students who, on successful completion, receive an academic award.
PROGRAMME AIMS The broad purposes for providing the programme which in turn guide the development and implementation of strategic objectives (to ensure that the aims are met) and ILOs (to ensure that the students work towards attaining the specified outcomes). PROGRAMME REVIEW Programme Review applies to all education programmes in all higher education institutions. Where the programme is studied in more than one institution, the whole programme is included in Programme Review. Programme Review in Iraq has three objectives:
1) To provide decision-makers (in the higher education institutions, Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate , parents, students, and other stakeholders) with evidence-based judgements on the quality of learning programmes
2) To support the development of internal quality assurance processes with information on emerging good practice and challenges, evaluative comment and continuing improvement
3) To enhance the reputation of Iraq’s higher education internationally.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The institution has the means of assuring that for each education programme, academic standards are defined and achieved in line with equivalent national and international standards, that the quality of the curriculum and related infrastructure are appropriate and fulfil the expectations of the range of stakeholders, that its graduates represent the range of attributes specified and that the organisation is capable of sustained, continuing improvement. REVIEW COORDINATOR The nominee of an institution to coordinate a Programme Review to assist in the gathering and interpretation of information and to support the application of published methods of review. REPORT The regular reports prepared on the basis of Programme Reviews and evaluations of its education programme. SELF-EVALUATION n institution’s process of evaluating a programme as part of Programme Review and within an internal system of quality management and assurance. SITE VISIT A scheduled visit by external peer reviewers as part of Programme Review. Normally the site visit will be for two or three days. A typical outline timetable is provided in Appendix(1).
SPECIFICATION The detailed description of the aims, construction and intended outcomes of a programme, and any courses, specific facilities or resources that contribute to it. The specification provides information to design, manage, deliver and review the programme. STAKEHOLDER Those organisations, groups or individuals which have a legitimate interest in the educational activities of the institution both in respect of the quality and standards of the education and also in respect of the effectiveness of the systems and processes for assuring the quality. An effective strategic review process will include the key stakeholder groups. The precise range of stakeholder groups and their differentiated interests depend upon the mission of the institution, its range of educational activities and local circumstances. The range is usually defined by a scoping study. Examples of groups with a legitimate interest include current students, graduates, intending students and their parents or family, staff in the institution, the employing community, the relevant Government ministries, the sponsors and other funding organisations and, where appropriate, professional organisations or syndicates. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES/PLANS A collection of institution-specific objectives that are derived from its mission and developed into a realistic plan based on evidence-based evaluations. Objectives concentrate on the means by which an institution seeks to deliver its mission. The plan sets out the matters to be addressed, timeframe, person responsible and estimate of costs, and is accompanied by an implementation plan with arrangements for monitoring the progress and evaluating impact. STUDENTS’ASSESSMENT A set of processes, including examinations and other activities conducted by the institution to measure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of a programme and its courses. Assessments also provide the means by which students are ranked according to their achievement. Diagnostic assessment seeks to determine the existing range of knowledge and skills of a student with a view to constructing an appropriate curriculum. Formative assessment provides information on the student’s performance and progress to support further learning, without necessarily counting a grade towards graduation. Summative assessment determines the final level of attainment of the student on the programme or at the end of a course that contributes credits to the programme.
STUDENTS’ EVALUATIONS The systematic gathering of students’opinions on the quality of their programme in a standardized structure together with the analysis and outcomes. Surveys using questionnaires are the most frequently used methods to collect opinions; other mechanisms include websites conferences, panels or focus groups, and representation on councils or other committees. TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS The range of methods used by teachers to help students to achieve the ILOs for the course. Examples include: lectures, small group teaching such as tutorials, seminars and syndicate groups; a case study to teach students how to analyse information and reach a decision; assignments such as writing a review paper for the students to gain the skills of self-learning and presentation; field trips; practical sessions for the students to gain practical skills; and carrying out experiments to train the students to analyse the results, reach specific conclusions and prepare a report, presentation or poster.

CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW AND EVALUATION OF
THE PROCESS
CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW 1. The criteria for a successful review that informs the arrangements for Programme Review and
its evaluation are as follows: i. The programme being reviewed is supported by existing or developing internal
systems including specifications and review with a culture of self-evaluation and continuing improvement. These features of internal review provide a sound basis for the external review.
ii. The timing of the external review is appropriate.
iii. The profile of the visiting peer review panel matches in broad terms the profile of
the academic activities in the institution.
iv. There is due attention to detail in planning and preparation, by - a. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate applies consistently
its procedures for working with the institution and the reviewers and provides
appropriate support for the external review as required
b. The review coordinator: ensures that the evidence base generated by internal review
and reporting systems is available on time to the visiting peer reviewers, and any
requirements for clarification and supplementary information are satisfied
c. The institution: provides a self-evaluation report for the programme to be externally
reviewed
d. The peer reviewers: undertake their preparation for the visit including reading the
advance documentation and preparing initial commentaries that inform the conduct of
the visit
v. There is consistency in the application of the published review method and the
protocols by all participants in a way that respects and supports the mission and
philosophy of the overall process for continuing review and continuing
improvement.
vi. Reviewers and representatives of the institution conduct an open dialogue
throughout the review that shows mutual respect.
vii. The judgements reached by the reviewers are clear, based on the evidence
available and systematically recorded.
viii. The review report is produced on time in line with the standard report structure
and is confirmed by the institution to be factually accurate.
ix. The set of conclusions arising from the review are constructive, offering a fair
and balanced view of the programme.
x. The institution is able to benefit from the external review by giving due reflection
and consideration to the findings and preparing where appropriate a realistic
improvement plan
EVALUATION 2. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate wishes to establish and
implement procedures for the systematic evaluation of all external Programme Reviews arranged by it. The institution, the review chairperson and the peer reviewers will all routinely be asked to evaluate each external review by completing a short questionnaire. The structured comments will be analysed by the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate and where necessary the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will take action to follow-up any difficulties highlighted. In addition, the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate will collate the structured comments to compile regular summary reports indicating the main features of the review process in practice, including the overall levels of satisfaction expressed by the participants, together with examples of good practice and opportunities for continuing improvement.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS IN PROGRAMME RE-
VIEW
DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THE PROGRAMME REVIEW HANDBOOK
Some of the terms used in the Handbook and/or used in internal and external review and reporting may have different meanings according to the context in which they are used. To remove possible ambiguities, the following working definitions of the terms are offered.
ADEMIC FIELDS/SUBJECT AREAS/DISCIPLINES Academic fields categorise recognisable and coherent domains or the scope of study such as Mathematics, Medicine, Engineering and Philosophy. Fields that have a wide scope are often subdivided; for example, Humanities include subjects like History and Literature and Arts may include separate disciplines of Fine Arts and Photography. The curriculum of some programmes may combine academic fields, or may include different subjects and disciplines such as Mathematics in Engineering or Accountancy in Business Administration.
ACADEMIC STANDARDS Specific standards decided by the institution, and informed by external reference points. They
include the minimum or threshold level of knowledge and skills to be gained by the graduates
from the programme, and can be used in evaluation and review.
ACCREDITATION The recognition accorded by an agency or other organisation to either an education
programme or to an institution to confirm that it can demonstrate that the programme(s)
meet acceptable standards and that the institution has effective systems to ensure the quality
and continuing improvement of its academic activities, according to published criteria.
ACTION OR IMPROVEMENT PLANS Realistic plans for improvement derived from the consideration of available evidence and
evaluations; they may be implemented for more than one year, but should be prepared and
reviewed annually at each level of courses, programmes and the institution.
ADMITTED STUDENTS Students registered on a programme, including those accepted holding prior credits for
admission after year 1.
BENCHMARK/REFERENCE POINTS Benchmark statements represent general expectations about the standards of achievement
and general attributes to be expected of a graduate in a given academic field or subject.
Reference standards may be external or internal. External reference points allow comparison of
the academic standards and quality of a programme with equivalent programmes in Iraq and
internationally. Internal reference points may be used to compare one academic field with
another, or to identify trends over a given time period.
COMMUNITY A defined segment of wider society served by the institution, as determined in its mission and
bylaws. It may be defined geographically or in terms of the range of organizations, groups and
individuals engaged in its activities.
COURSE AIMS Overall course aims should be expressed as the outcomes to be achieved by students
completing the course as significant and assessable qualities. They should contribute to the
achievement of defined aims within one or more education programmes.
CURRICULUM OR (IN THE PLURAL) CURRICULA The complete organised learning as designed and managed by an institution for an admitted
student, determined by the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) and comprising the content,
the arrangements for teaching and learning and assessments of students’ achievements
together with the access to the range of facilities available within the University and, by
arrangement, outside it, including libraries, computers studies, social, sports, internships and
field studies.
DIRECTED SELF-LEARNING/INDEPENDENT LEARNING The active promotion of personal skills included in the curriculum that support the student
and graduate to seek, assimilate and learn from a range of structured and unstructured
experiences. Methods of promotion include e-learning, personal and autonomous learning
and fieldwork, assignments, internships, and reflexive learning. Devices commonly used that
support directed self-learning beyond formal teaching lectures include logbooks, self-
assessment reports, interactive learning tools or the equivalent.
E-LEARNING Electronic-based learning using information technology may be the primary or secondary
element in material associated with a programme or a course. It may be stand-alone or
integrated with other teaching and learning approaches. It may include self-determination
of aims, ILOs and materials using self-selection and will usually include self-assessment. It
generally increases the levels of autonomy in, and responsibility for, learning. Converting
existing texts or lecture notes to a website or pre-recorded media alone is generally not
considered to be e-learning.
EXTERNAL EVALUATOR/EVALUATION An appointment to a specific programme, part of a programme or course(s) by the institution
to establish an independent and external professional opinion on the academic standards set
and achieved in the examinations for the award of the degree.
FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATION The framework for evaluation provides a standard structure for evaluation of programmes. It
will form the basis for self-evaluation, the site visit by external peer reviewers and the
Programme Review report. It is designed to operate in all academic fields and institutions, and
to apply to internal and external reviews.
GENERAL PRECEPTS/BY-LAWS Principles, by-laws and regulations, which the educational institution must have as part of the
policies covering its operations.
HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTE (HEI)/INSTITUTION A Faculty, College or University providing higher education programmes leading to a first
university degree (B.Sc. or B.A.) or a higher degree.
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOS) The ILOs are the outcome-related definition of knowledge, understanding and skills which
the institution intends for its programmes. They should be mission-related, capable of
measurement (assessable) and reflect the use of external reference standards at appropriate
level.
INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND ASSURANCE
The system adopted by the institution to ensure that its education programmes and
contributing elements meet specified needs and are continually reviewed and improved. An
outcomes-related system of quality management involves precise specifications for quality
from design to delivery; evaluation; the identification of good practice as well as of learning
deficiencies and obstacles; performance follow-up; suggestions for development and
enhancement; and the systematic review and development of processes for establishing
effective policies, strategies and priorities to support continuing improvement.
JOB/LABOUR MARKET The availability of professional, commercial, research-oriented or other fields of employment
that a graduate is qualified to join upon graduation.
MISSION STATEMENT A brief statement clearly identifying the educational institution’s duty and its role in the
development of the community; a mission statement may also offer brief supporting
statements on the vision, values and strategic objectives of the institution.
PEER REVIEWER A person who is professionally equal in calibre and with management and/or subject expertise
to those delivering the provision, but not from the same institution and without any conflict of
interest, who can contribute to the review of an education programme for internal and
external quality assurance or for accreditation purposes.
PROGRAMME For the purpose of Programme Review an education programme is defined as one which
admits students who, on successful completion, receive an academic award.
PROGRAMME AIMS The broad purposes for providing the programme which in turn guide the development and
implementation of strategic objectives (to ensure that the aims are met) and ILOs (to ensure
that the students work towards attaining the specified outcomes).
PROGRAMME REVIEW Programme Review applies to all education programmes in all higher education institutions.
Where the programme is studied in more than one institution, the whole programme is
included in Programme Review. Programme Review in Iraq has three objectives:
1) To provide decision-makers (in the higher education institutions, Quality Assurance and
Academic Accreditation Directorate , parents, students, and other stakeholders) with
evidence-based judgements on the quality of learning programmes
2) To support the development of internal quality assurance processes with information on
emerging good practice and challenges, evaluative comment and continuing
improvement
3) To enhance the reputation of Iraq’s higher education internationally.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The institution has the means of assuring that for each education programme, academic
standards are defined and achieved in line with equivalent national and international
standards, that the quality of the curriculum and related infrastructure are appropriate and
fulfil the expectations of the range of stakeholders, that its graduates represent the range of
attributes specified and that the organisation is capable of sustained, continuing improvement.
REVIEW COORDINATOR The nominee of an institution to coordinate a Programme Review to assist in the gathering
and interpretation of information and to support the application of published methods of
review.
REPORT The regular reports prepared on the basis of Programme Reviews and evaluations of its
education programme.
SELF-EVALUATION n institution’s process of evaluating a programme as part of Programme Review and within an
internal system of quality management and assurance.
SITE VISIT A scheduled visit by external peer reviewers as part of Programme Review. Normally the site
visit will be for two or three days. A typical outline timetable is provided in Appendix(1).
SPECIFICATION The detailed description of the aims, construction and intended outcomes of a programme, and
any courses, specific facilities or resources that contribute to it. The specification provides
information to design, manage, deliver and review the programme.
STAKEHOLDER Those organisations, groups or individuals which have a legitimate interest in the educational
activities of the institution both in respect of the quality and standards of the education and
also in respect of the effectiveness of the systems and processes for assuring the quality. An
effective strategic review process will include the key stakeholder groups. The precise range of
stakeholder groups and their differentiated interests depend upon the mission of the
institution, its range of educational activities and local circumstances. The range is usually
defined by a scoping study. Examples of groups with a legitimate interest include current
students, graduates, intending students and their parents or family, staff in the institution, the
employing community, the relevant Government ministries, the sponsors and other funding
organisations and, where appropriate, professional organisations or syndicates.
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES/PLANS A collection of institution-specific objectives that are derived from its mission and developed
into a realistic plan based on evidence-based evaluations. Objectives concentrate on the
means by which an institution seeks to deliver its mission. The plan sets out the matters to be
addressed, timeframe, person responsible and estimate of costs, and is accompanied by an
implementation plan with arrangements for monitoring the progress and evaluating impact.
STUDENTS’ASSESSMENT A set of processes, including examinations and other activities conducted by the institution to
measure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of a programme and its courses.
Assessments also provide the means by which students are ranked according to their
achievement. Diagnostic assessment seeks to determine the existing range of knowledge and
skills of a student with a view to constructing an appropriate curriculum. Formative assessment
provides information on the student’s performance and progress to support further learning,
without necessarily counting a grade towards graduation. Summative assessment determines
the final level of attainment of the student on the programme or at the end of a course that
contributes credits to the programme.
STUDENTS’ EVALUATIONS The systematic gathering of students’opinions on the quality of their programme in a
standardized structure together with the analysis and outcomes. Surveys using questionnaires
are the most frequently used methods to collect opinions; other mechanisms include websites
conferences, panels or focus groups, and representation on councils or other committees.
TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS The range of methods used by teachers to help students to achieve the ILOs for the course.
Examples include: lectures, small group teaching such as tutorials, seminars and syndicate
groups; a case study to teach students how to analyse information and reach a decision;
assignments such as writing a review paper for the students to gain the skills of self-learning
and presentation; field trips; practical sessions for the students to gain practical skills; and
carrying out experiments to train the students to analyse the results, reach specific conclusions
and prepare a report, presentation or poster.

CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW ANDEVALUATION OF THE PROCESS
CRITERIA FOR A SUCCESSFUL REVIEW 1.The criteria for a successful review that informs the arrangements for Programme
Reviewandits evaluation are as follows: i. The programme being reviewed is supported by existing or developing internal
systemsincluding specifications and review with a culture of self-evaluation and continuingimprovement. These features of internal review provide a sound basis for the externalreview.
ii. The timing of the external review is appropriate. iii. The profile of the visiting peer review panel matches in broad terms the profile of
theacademic activities in the institution. iv. There is due attention to detail in planning and preparation, by -
a. The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorate applies consistently its procedures for working with the institution andthe reviewers and provides appropriate support for the external review as required
b. The review coordinator: ensures that the evidence base generated by internal reviewand reporting systems is available on time to the visiting peer reviewers, and anyrequirements for clarification and supplementary information are satisfied
c. The institution: provides a self-evaluation report for the programme to be externallyreviewed
d. The peer reviewers: undertake their preparation for the visit including reading theadvance documentation and preparing initial commentaries that inform the conductof the visit
v. There is consistency in the application of the published review method and the protocolsby all participants in a way that respects and supports the mission and philosophy of theoverall process for continuing review and continuing improvement.
vi. Reviewers and representatives of the institution conduct an open dialogue throughout thereview that shows mutual respect.
vii. The judgements reached by the reviewers are clear, based on the evidence available andsystematically recorded.
viii. The review report is produced on time in line with the standard report structure and isconfirmed by the institution to be factually accurate.
ix. The set of conclusions arising from the review are constructive, offering a fair and balancedview of the programme.
x. The institution is able to benefit from the external review by giving due reflection andconsideration to the findings and preparing where appropriate a realisticimprovementplan
EVALUATION 2.The Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directoratewishes to establish and
implement procedures forthe systematic evaluation of all external Programme Reviews arranged by it. The institution, thereview chairperson and the peer reviewers will all routinely be asked to evaluate each externalreview by completing a short questionnaire. The structured comments will be analysed by theQuality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directorateand where necessary the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directoratewill take action to follow-up any difficultieshighlighted. In addition, the Quality Assurance and Academic Accreditation Directoratewill collate the structured comments to compile regularsummary reports indicating the main features of the review process in practice, including theoverall levels of satisfaction expressed by the participants, together with examples of goodpractice and opportunities for continuing improvement.
GLOSSARY OF TERMS IN PROGRAMME RE-
VIEW DEFINITIONS OF TERMS USED IN THE PROGRAMME REVIEW HANDBOOK Some of the terms used in the Handbook and/or used in internal and external review and reportingmay have different meanings according to the context in which they are used. To remove possibleambiguities, the following working definitions of the terms are offered. ADEMIC FIELDS/SUBJECT AREAS/DISCIPLINES
Academic fields categorise recognisable and coherent domains or the scope of study such asMathematics, Medicine, Engineering and Philosophy. Fields that have a wide scope are oftensubdivided; for example, Humanities include subjects like History and Literature and Arts mayinclude separate disciplines of Fine Arts and Photography. The curriculum of someprogrammes may combine academic fields, or may include different subjects and disciplines suchas Mathematics in Engineering or Accountancy in Business Administration. ACADEMIC STANDARDS Specific standards decided by the institution, and informed by external reference points. Theyinclude the minimum or threshold level of knowledge and skills to be gained by the graduatesfrom the programme, and can be used in evaluation and review. ACCREDITATION The recognition accorded by an agency or other organisation to either an education programmeor to an institution to confirm that it can demonstrate that the programme(s) meet acceptablestandards and that the institution has effective systems to ensure the quality and continuingimprovement of its academic activities, according to published criteria. ACTION OR IMPROVEMENT PLANS Realistic plans for improvement derived from the consideration of available evidence and evaluations;they may be implemented for more than one year, but should be prepared and reviewed annuallyat each level of courses, programmes and the institution. ADMITTED STUDENTS Students registered on a programme, including those accepted holding prior credits for admissionafter year 1. BENCHMARK/REFERENCE POINTS Benchmark statements represent general expectations about the standards ofachievement and general attributes to be expected of a graduate in a given academicfield or subject. Reference standards may be external or internal. External referencepoints allow comparison of the academic standards and quality of a programme withequivalent programmes in Iraq and internationally. Internal reference pointsmay be used to compare one academic field with another, or to identify trends over agiven time period. COMMUNITY A defined segment of wider society served by the institution, as determined in its mission andbylaws. It may be defined geographically or in terms of the range of organizations, groups andindividuals engaged in its activities. COURSE AIMS Overall course aims should be expressed as the outcomes to be achieved by students completingthe course as significant and assessable qualities. They should contribute to the achievement ofdefined aims within one or more education programmes.
CURRICULUM OR (IN THE PLURAL) CURRICULA The complete organised learning as designed and managed by an institution for an admittedstudent, determined by the intended learning outcomes (ILOs) and comprising the content,the arrangements for teaching and learning and assessments of students’ achievementstogether with the access to the range of facilities available within the University and, byarrangement, outside it, including libraries, computers studies, social, sports, internshipsand field studies. DIRECTED SELF-LEARNING/INDEPENDENT LEARNING The active promotion of personal skills included in the curriculum that support the student andgraduate to seek, assimilate and learn from a range of structured and unstructured experiences.Methods of promotion include e-learning, personal and autonomous learning and fieldwork,assignments, internships, and reflexive learning. Devices commonly used that support directedself-learning beyond formal teaching lectures include logbooks, self-assessment reports, interactivelearning tools or the equivalent. E-LEARNING Electronic-based learning using information technology may be the primary or secondaryelement in material associated with a programme or a course. It may be stand-alone orintegrated with other teaching and learning approaches. It may include self-determination of aims, ILOs and materials using self-selection and will usually include self-assessment. Itgenerally increases the levels of autonomy in, and responsibility for, learning. Convertingexisting texts or lecture notes to a website or pre-recorded media alone is generally notconsidered to be e-learning. EXTERNAL EVALUATOR/EVALUATION An appointment to a specific programme, part of a programme or course(s) by the institution toestablish an independent and external professional opinion on the academic standards set andachieved in the examinations for the award of the degree. FRAMEWORK FOR EVALUATION The framework for evaluation provides a standard structure for evaluation of programmes. It willform the basis for self-evaluation, the site visit by external peer reviewers and the ProgrammeReview report. It is designed to operate in all academic fields and institutions, and to apply tointernal and external reviews. GENERAL PRECEPTS/BY-LAWS Principles, by-laws and regulations, which the educational institution must have as part of thepolicies covering its operations. HIGHER EDUCATION INSTITUTE (HEI)/INSTITUTION A Faculty, College or University providing higher education programmes leading to a first universitydegree (B.Sc. or B.A.) or a higher degree. INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES (ILOS)
The ILOs are the outcome-related definition of knowledge, understanding and skills which the institution intends for its programmes. They should be mission-related, capable ofmeasurement (assessable) and reflect the use of external reference standards at appropriate level. INTERNAL SYSTEM FOR QUALITY MANAGEMENT AND ASSURANCE The system adopted by the institution to ensure that its education programmes and contributingelements meet specified needs and are continually reviewed and improved. An outcomes-relatedsystem of quality management involves precise specifications for quality from design to delivery;evaluation; the identification of good practice as well as of learning deficiencies and obstacles;performance follow-up; suggestions for development and enhancement; and the systematic reviewand development of processes for establishing effective policies, strategies and priorities to supportcontinuing improvement. JOB/LABOUR MARKET The availability of professional, commercial, research-oriented or other fields of employment thata graduate is qualified to join upon graduation. MISSION STATEMENT A brief statement clearly identifying the educational institution’s duty and its role in the developmentof the community; a mission statement may also offer brief supporting statementson the vision, values and strategic objectives of the institution. PEER REVIEWER A person who is professionally equal in calibre and with management and/or subject expertiseto those delivering the provision, but not from the same institution and without any conflict ofinterest, who can contribute to the review of an education programme for internal and externalquality assurance or for accreditation purposes. PROGRAMME For the purpose of Programme Review an education programme is defined as one which admitsstudents who, on successful completion, receive an academic award. PROGRAMME AIMS The broad purposes for providing the programme which in turn guide the development and implementation of strategic objectives (to ensure that the aims are met) and ILOs (to ensure thatthe students work towards attaining the specified outcomes). PROGRAMME REVIEW Programme Review applies to all education programmes in all higher education institutions. Where the programme is studied in more than one institution, the whole programme is includedin Programme Review. Programme Review in Iraq has three objectives:
1) To provide decision-makers (in the higher education institutions,Quality Assurance and
Academic Accreditation Directorate, parents, students, and other stakeholders) with evidence-based judgements on the qualityof learning programmes
2) To support the development of internal quality assurance processes with informationon emerging good practice and challenges, evaluative comment and continuingimprovement
3) To enhance the reputation of Iraq’s higher education internationally.
QUALITY ASSURANCE The institution has the means of assuring that for each education programme, academic standardsare defined and achieved in line with equivalent national and international standards, that thequality of the curriculum and related infrastructure are appropriate and fulfil the expectations ofthe range of stakeholders, that its graduates represent the range of attributes specified and that theorganisation is capable of sustained, continuing improvement. REVIEW COORDINATOR The nominee of an institution to coordinate a Programme Review to assist in the gathering andinterpretation of information and to support the application of published methods of review. REPORT The regular reports prepared on the basis of Programme Reviews and evaluations of its educationprogramme. SELF-EVALUATION n institution’s process of evaluating a programme as part of Programme Review and within aninternal system of quality management and assurance. SITE VISIT A scheduled visit by external peer reviewers as part of Programme Review. Normally the site visitwill be for two or three days. A typical outline timetable is provided in Appendix(1).
SPECIFICATION The detailed description of the aims, construction and intended outcomes of a programme, and anycourses, specific facilities or resources that contribute to it. The specification provides informationto design, manage, deliver and review the programme. STAKEHOLDER Those organisations, groups or individuals which have a legitimate interest in the educationalactivities of the institution both in respect of the quality and standards of the education and alsoin respect of the effectiveness of the systems and processes for assuring the quality. An effectivestrategic review process will include the key stakeholder groups. The precise range of stakeholdergroups and their differentiated interests depend upon the mission of the institution, its range ofeducational activities and local circumstances. The range is usually defined by a scoping study.Examples of groups with a legitimate interest include
current students, graduates, intendingstudents and their parents or family, staff in the institution, the employing community, the relevantGovernment ministries, the sponsors and other funding organisations and, where appropriate,professional organisations or syndicates. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES/PLANS A collection of institution-specific objectives that are derived from its mission and developed into arealistic plan based on evidence-based evaluations. Objectives concentrate on the means by whichan institution seeks to deliver its mission. The plan sets out the matters to be addressed, timeframe,person responsible and estimate of costs, and is accompanied by an implementation plan witharrangements for monitoring the progress and evaluating impact. STUDENTS’ASSESSMENT A set of processes, including examinations and other activities conducted by the institution tomeasure the achievement of the intended learning outcomes of a programme and its courses.Assessments also provide the means by which students are ranked according to their achievement.Diagnostic assessment seeks to determine the existing range of knowledge and skills of a studentwith a view to constructing an appropriate curriculum. Formative assessment provides informationon the student’s performance and progress to support further learning, without necessarily countinga grade towards graduation. Summative assessment determines the final level of attainment of thestudent on the programme or at the end of a course that contributes credits to the programme.
STUDENTS’ EVALUATIONS The systematic gathering of students’opinions on the quality of their programme in a standardizedstructure together with the analysis and outcomes. Surveys using questionnaires are the mostfrequently used methods to collect opinions; other mechanisms include websites conferences,panels or focus groups, and representation on councils or other committees. TEACHING AND LEARNING METHODS The range of methods used by teachers to help students to achieve the ILOs for the course. Examples include: lectures, small group teaching such as tutorials, seminars and syndicate groups;a case study to teach students how to analyse information and reach a decision; assignments suchas writing a review paper for the students to gain the skills of self-learning and presentation; fieldtrips; practical sessions for the students to gain practical skills; and carrying out experiments to trainthe students to analyse the results, reach specific conclusions and prepare a report, presentation or poster.
