“…DiMaggio and Powell (1983) identified three mechanisms through which isomorphic change occurs: coercive forces that stem from political or legal influence and the problem of legitimacy; mimetic forces resulting from standard responses to uncertainty; and normative forces associated with professionalisation, networks and professions. Dill (2003) pointed out that the neo-institutional theory has potential relevance to the study of academic quality assurance and the concept of isomorphism has been applied in various studies on this issue. Moreover, Schwarz and Westerheijden (2004, p. 5) stated that quality assurance as instrument, 196 A. Papadimitriou and D.F.…”

Essa atitude, acompanhada da conscientização dos diversos sujeitos integrantes, tende a promover um caráter educativo de engajamento e aperfeiçoamento, tanto contextual quanto individual, nos processos de melhoria da qualidade institucional (CHENG, 2014;DILL, 2003 1998,2003). Os conceitos propostos por esses organismos normalmente contemplam uma visão multifacetada de qualidade voltada para resultados, envolvendo dimensões pedagógicas, culturais, sociais e financeiras, cujo foco é a promoção de equidade, o favorecimento da aprendizagem e a garantia dos direitos humanos, no que tange à educação humana em seus diversos níveis.…”

“…Although innovation takes place constantly in a higher education institution, it is difficult to spread these innovations throughout the institution and even more to change the institution as a whole.
