	abstract = {The way teachers view assessment has a considerable impact on their practice of assessment.  Student perceptions of assessment, in turn, affect the ways in which they take advantage of its potential to direct their learning processes and to develop metacognitive skills. In this research, physics teachers and international postgraduate students at a Finnish university were surveyed for their views of assessment.  The teachers were found to use assessment in a restricted fashion, which indicates that their conceptions of assessment are also limited in scope.  The international students appeared to have a loose grasp of the concepts pertaining to assessment.  Furthermore, clear differences were found in the purposes ascribed to assessment by the teachers and students.  The implications of the findings are discussed and suggestions are made for the development of assessment practices to ensure a better use of its potential as a tool for achieving learning objectives.},

	abstract = {Albania{\textquoteright}s higher education development is very dynamic. Higher education in Albania is being characterized by a massive expansion process and by competition between both the public and private education sectors. The number of higher education institutions has grown fivefold during the last eight years. There are currently thirteen (13) public and forty six (46) private institutions.
 This article is aimed at the research of analysing the legal framework for higher education quality state standards.
 This analysis will address three important issues:
 1. What is the legal framework for higher education quality state standards?
 2. How is the quality assured in higher education institutions?
 3. To what extent are Albanian quality standards compared to the European ones?
 This study is based on an analysis of the domestic and European legislation, interviews with fifteen (15) key persons that are divided into three groups: officials of the Ministry of Education and Science/Public Agency for the Accreditation of Higher Education, officials of the public Higher Education Institution, and officials of private Higher Education in Albania including reports and policy documents.
 The conclusions of this research article will help in understanding the role of the higher education quality state standards and will contribute to the improvement of the quality legal framework in the country.},
