Abstract

The qualities in cooperative education which embed work-integrated learning into the curricula propose challenges for higher education. To address the issues, a framework of quality management on the basis of total quality management and PDCA cycle is proposed. The framework consists of three components – quality assurance, quality control and quality improvement for co programs. All the activities in the components are structured according to the PDCA model. The paper describes the structure of the framework and the some specific activities of the quality management in cooperative education.
