On this page you will find reports from NOKUT’s projects in the field of research and analysis. The reports deal with both Norwegian and foreign education, and include reports written in collaboration with other countries' agencies for quality assurance in education.

The Scientific Employees’ Educational Quality Barometer 2010

[Jon Haakstad, 2010]

Whereas Norwegian students and candidates are regularly asked in national surveys about their experience of the quality of higher education, there is no corresponding survey of the views of those who actually teach higher education classes: the scientific employees. The Scientific Employees’ Educational Quality Barometer 2010 is an attempt to fill this gap.

The barometer is based on answers received in an electronic survey to over 1200 teachers in accredited higher education institutions.
