Abstract

Improving the quality of higher education is a strategic imperative in facing global dynamics and mandated by national higher education (HE) policies. HE must inevitably undergo transformation, and one of the key elements in ensuring quality is the implementation of an internal quality assurance (IQA). This community service activity aims to improve STT Arastamar Ngabang's understanding and capacity in implementing the IQA through technical guidance. The methods used included conceptual explanations and focus group discussions on needs of STT Arastamar in preparation for higher education accreditation. The results of the activity demonstrated an increased understanding of the participants' understanding of the IQA concept and cycle, direct revision and completion of IQA documents, and increased commitment from the leadership and academic community to building a culture of quality.
