A TOOL FOR ASSESMENT
✓ to reflect on its internal quality assurance (IQA) systems,
✓ to determine what course of action is best for HEI,
✓ to achieve the outcomes, and
✓ to meet its vision, mission, and goals (VMG).

The SED promotes continuous improvement within the HEI.

PART II - General Instructions for HEIs
❑ Each KRA has indicators and each
indicator has at least one criterion.
❑ Each criterion has several elements
which define or clarify aspects of the
criterion.
 Indicator
Criterion

Element
 Components of the ISA SED
For each element, the HEI needs to show the

✓ (1) presence of the system which will help produce the outcomes,
✓ (2) extent of implementation of the system,
✓ (3) the actual outcomes resulting from the implementation of the
system, and the
✓ (4) effectiveness of the system in meeting the desired objectives/
targets for a particular indicator and the VMG in general.
 Indicator
Criterion

Element
✓ There is a column for Remarks, where the HEI describes its system or lists
comments regarding a particular element.
✓ The column on Possible Sources of Evidence suggests documents the HEI
may to present to support its claims.
For evidence that involves many reports/documents, it is advisable to
have a summary report of the supporting documents to make it easier
for the ISA Assessors to read through them.
 Components of the ISA SED
✓ The HEI needs to indicate and append the
sources of evidence to support its
statements in an orderly manner.
✓ In cases where the evidence is
voluminous, please append a summary.
 Components of the ISA SED
• At the end of each KRA is the scoring guide,
• which considers presence of the system for an indicator,
• the extent of implementation of the system,
• the actual outcomes resulting from the implementation, and
• the effectiveness of the system in meeting desired
objectives/targets for the particular indicator and the VMG in
general.
The HEI can use this to score its performance and have a sense of
what areas may need improvement.
Score Interpretation for Rating Each Indicator
4 The criterion is met in all respects, at a level that
demonstrates good practices that make it a model for
others.
3 The criterion is met in most respects, at a level that
demonstrates good practices in most aspects.
2 The criterion is met in many respects, at a level that
demonstrates good practices in many aspects.

1 The criterion is met in some respects, at a level that

demonstrates good practices in some aspects.

0 The criterion is not met.
