ABSTRACT
As early as the 1960s, the Australian government has paid attention to the quality of higher education, and has taken a number of measures to build a quality assessment environment for higher education. In 2007, in order to continue to promote the development of Australian higher education quality assessment, Australasian Survey of Student Engagement (AUSSE) was produced and achieved good results under the interaction of many aspects, becoming one of the representatives to evaluate the quality of higher education based on the perspective of students. In order to promote the improvement and diversity of assessment tools in my country, increase the reliability and validity of assessment tools, and highlight the localization and specialization of assessment tools, this article uses AUSSE as the research object for analysis. The tool focuses on the whole process of learning, takes the degree of student engagement as the benchmark, and takes the measurement of student engagement and outcomes as the core content. Through the analysis, the resulting enlightenment is obtained: to clarify the dual role of government in higher education reform, to establish the concept of “Student-Centered” education quality assessment and the awareness of international exchange and cooperation in higher education quality.
