This study aimed to identify factors affecting the model of accreditation and quality assurance of higher education in Iran. the study was conducted using qualitative research through grounded theory. the study population had higher education experts, which 36 persons by purposive sampling for semi-structured interview were selected. in addition to interview, 3 other sources were used to collect data, which are, observing, taking notes and documents. for this purpose, data obtained from interviews, observations, notes and documents were converted into text data. after that, we act the first to open coding, then, to have axial and selective action. in axial coding stage, 25 core categories were determined. in selective coding stage, all major categories and core categories in terms of condition, interactive / process and outcome characteristics was classified. in the end, category of quality discourse, fear and hope, as the most original and the most ultimate core category select and according to its features were developed. then, related made other categories in the form of a paradigm model with the this category.

In this paper based on the grounded theory, from the perspective of higher education actors we paid to recognized of conditional factors, criteria and indicators (causal, contextual and intermediary ) accreditation. this study, by adopting social interpretivism, emphasize that people outside the university, Can not be known beforehand components of accreditation and understand it. Because, the actors in higher education are that your scientific community environment create and interpret it as they want. accordingly, Any assumption about the accreditation system, can not express the mind and understanding academic community actors. in other words, in this research we have been looking for that actors higher education how to see conditional factors, criteria and indicators (causal, contextual and intermediary ) accreditation And what had interpretation and understanding of it. the data of this study were obtained from four sources, which include, interviews, observations, notes and documents. therefore, data obtained from interviews, observations, notes and documents were converted into text data. after that, in order to categorize the great mass of the collected data, paid to categorization of data. we act first, open coding, then, axial and selective coding. On this basis, in 691 the indicator, 98 criteria and 11 factor were determined in accordance with native features of Iran's higher education system.

The purpose of this research is to study the feasibility of university autonomy and its role in accountability and quality assurance of higher education system services. The study population included all faculty members of Urmia University in the academic year of 2014-2015. With the descriptive survey method, 219 faculty members of this university were selected using stratified random sampling method, and responded to the questionnaire. To collect information about the autonomy variable “the European Model Questionnaire UNESCO”, Thomas Estermann et al, for the accountability variable the questionnaire of Keiko Yokoyama, New York model and for the quality assurance variable the questionnaire of HEDPERF model was used. Cronbach's Alpha is used to assess the reliability of the test. The reliability coefficients of the autonomy, accountability and quality assurance questionnaires were 0/88, 0/90 and 0/92 respectively. To test the question and hypothesis of the research t-test univariate and multiple regression and One's regression analyses were used. The results showed that the state of academic freedom and accountability in the University was not good But in terms of quality assurance is moderate and positive relationship existed between academic autonomy, academic accountability and quality assurance And can somewhat predict them (R2= 0/17 , 0/15). there Significant correlation between academic accountability and quality assurance, and can be positive and meaningful predicted it (R2= 0/21).

In this paper, using the approach of emic or orientation from the inside, have paid to analyze the understanding of scientific community actors from accreditation model of system higher education of country. research based on grounded theory, constitute the methodology of this study. according to the method, we have always sought to take on meaning, vision and mental mechanisms of higher education actors. the data of this study were obtained from four sources, which include, interviews, observations, notes and documents. to do so, first open coding, then, are we axial and selective action. having analyzed the data obtained in the first phase coding, in 2027 the concept was achieved. second stage of open data coding, In format of 1262 concept and 156 major categories were classified. in axial coding stage, 25 core categories were determined. in selective coding stage, again 25 core category to a higher level of abstraction we have upgrade and classified in terms of characteristics of conditions, interactive / process and outcome. in the end, category of quality discourse, fear and hope, as the most original and the most ultimate core category Select and according to its features were developed. then, related made other categories in the form of a paradigm model with the this category.

Education is the most effective mechanism for dealing with one of the biggest challenges of this century, i.e., sustainable development. Sustainable development needs a holistic human being with systemic thinking and interdisciplinary and intra-disciplinary vision who is informed, creative and participatory. Production of such qualified human resources needs high quality elements and factors of the educational system (input, process, output, and outcome) in line with sustainable development. Higher education and expert human resources play a key role in sustainable development of any societies. Universities, as places for study and research, should strive for sustainable development. Higher education should acquire the best way to exploit limited resources and facilities. In this article, developing a model for assuring the quality of higher education system in order to reach sustainable development based on systems approach is discussed. To reach sustainable development, we should provide coordination and interaction among the parts of development. A descriptive-analytic method, similar to library studies, is used in this article.
