| Description | The article aims to determine criteria that mature part-time students studying for education (teaching and non-teaching) degrees use to evaluate the quality of their higher education studies. Twenty-eight narrative interviews describing mature students’ educational paths are analyzed (initial coding, analysis of evaluative statements, and contextualizing statements in narratives). The four pillars of quality perceived by mature students are identified. The first pillar, the attitude toward students, is indicated by interaction style and by ways of setting rules. The second pillar equals the meaningfulness of the subject curriculum and the program curriculum. The third pillar represents the optimal level of demands indicated by keeping educational standards and subordination demands to overall study goals. The fourth pillar depicts the instructional quality for both teaching and online materials. Finally, recommendations for significant quality enhancement are offered. |
