Abstract

Introduction: In higher education there is a constant need for developments that are sustainable and enhanced quality. The academic leader plays a significant role in that work, which ultimately aims to result in beneficial outcomes for the students. This paper describes how participatory action research as a democratic and inclusive method, can facilitate the academic's participation in their own, as well as in academic programmes' quality enhancement.
