General Method

This work describes a general method to quantitatively evaluate the teaching quality of a subject by taking into account the main factors that intervene in the educational process (companies, teachers, students, etc.). The proposed methodology, based on the concatenation of the four “Houses of Quality” of the “Quality Function Deployment” (QFD), is applicable to any university subject. Through an integrated matrix development of the four quality houses, a vector has been obtained (q4→) that integrates in its definition the entire teaching process of a university subject. Therefore, from this vector, a representative parameter of the teaching quality has been defined, namely, the “Teaching Value”, which globally quantifies the teaching of a university subject. Likewise, and in a complementary manner, the overall effectiveness of teaching has been established (ηglobal), which is defined as the geometric mean of the product of the efficiencies of the four Houses of Quality and allows the determination of the current performance of teaching and its margin for potential improvement. In particular, the use of the proposed methodology for the engineering course “Project Management” has allowed the teaching quality of this course to be determined (64.2 Megapoints with an efficiency of 48.60%).

Hierarchy Process

There are many difficulties in the evaluation of the teaching quality of phys-ical education (PE) in colleges: the evaluation factors are complicated, the evaluation systems are incomplete, and the evaluation methods are not com-prehensive enough. To overcome these difficulties, this paper introduces an-alytic hierarchy process (AHP) to the evaluation of PE teaching quality in colleges. Firstly, the authors identified the influencing factors of PE teaching in colleges today. Next, an index system was established for the evaluation, and an evaluation model was set up based on the AHP and grey system theo-ry (GST). Finally, our method was proved feasible through example analysis. The research results provide new insights on the application of state-of-the-art theories in quality evaluation of higher education.

Evaluation Of Teaching

The student evaluation, used to measure students’ perceptions of teacher performance, has been increasingly used as the predominant component in assessing teaching effectiveness (Waters et al. 1988), and the widespread movement of outcomes assessment across the country makes this trend likely to continue in the future (McCoy et al. 1994, AACSB 1994, SACS 1995).  Substantial research has been conducted with regard to the reliability and accuracy of student evaluation of teaching quality, and a considerable number of uncontrollable factors are found to bias the results of the evaluation rating.  This paper identifies one more factor.  Each student has an “evaluator profile”, which decreases the reliability of the student evaluation.  An “evaluator profile” is a persistent pattern of evaluating behavior that may or may not be consistent with the quality of the characteristic being evaluated.  Each class of students consists of a random sample of different evaluator profiles.  A student evaluation rating of a teacher’s performance is biased up or down depending on the concentration of high or low evaluator profiles present.  This paper further shows through simulation the degree to which student “evaluator profiles” impact the overall student evaluation rating of teacher performance. We find that there is evidence to support the “evaluator profile” conjecture, and that these “evaluator profiles” do in fact have the potential to change overall student evaluation ratings substantially.

Purpose. The article reveals the patterns of successful transfer of socio-pedagogical experience from a teacher to students, the pedagogical influence on personal development and instructional importance in the educational process. Being a way of organizing educational activities, learning is the most reliable way to obtain a systematic education. It contributes to the assimilation of knowledge, skills and abilities and development of personal qualities that help a person to adapt to external conditions and express one’s personality. The quality of administration of educational process has a big impact on the development of creative and independent mentality of students, acquisition of professional competencies for achieving a high level of proficiency to withstand competitiveness in the labor market and develop the potential for self-development and self-education. The teacher of physical culture is fully responsible for ensuring the modern administration of the educational process and social activities of the high quality to train qualified specialists with theoretical and applicable knowledge, skills and competencies. Research methods and organization. The authors use the methods of questionnaire survey, pedagogical observation and comparative assessment to reveal the psychological and instructional aspects of the quality of physical education at the university, as well as students' interest in Physical education as university subject. Research results. The research resulted in the identification of students’ attitude to the quality of the educational process, their satisfaction with the quality of provided education, and the quality of the administration of physical and sports activities. Conclusion. We have substantiated the significance of psychological and pedagogical approach used by educators at physical education classes. It is especially relevant in modern conditions for improvement of the quality of educational process through the attitude of students to the Physical education and sports subject.

The fair, objective, scientific, and comprehensive evaluation of teaching quality helps college teachers improve the quality of teaching, and enables colleges to realize their goals of talent training. Therefore, it is important to find a way to comprehensively evaluate the teaching quality of college teachers. Drawing on the theories of analytic hierarchy process (AHP), this paper sets up an evaluation index system (EIS) for teaching quality of college teachers, and determines the weight of each index. Taking the teachers of a college for example, the multi-level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) was carried out to quantify the teaching quality of these teachers. The results show that AHP and FCE can quantify and qualify the teaching quality at the same time. The combined use of the two techniques is applicable to comprehensive evaluation of teaching quality, and the assessment of a single factor, offering a complete understanding of the teaching quality of college teachers. The research provides a scientific way to evaluate the teaching quality of college teachers, and a realistic tool to enhance the teaching quality in colleges.
