The quality of a Software Requirements Specification (SRS) is measured in terms of quality properties such as completeness, conciseness, consistency and understandability. In general, evaluation of the SRS quality is done manually during review sessions. The evaluation process, however, is hugely dependent on the expertise of human experts i.e. the reviewers. In fact, the judgment of the human experts could also be inconsistent due to various factors including experience, knowledge and domain. The objectives of this study are to (1) identify feasible rules to measure SRS quality; and (2) help requirements engineer to improve their SRS quality. In this study, we analyzed SRS quality properties from the literature and identified quality factors that are feasible to be automated. From here, we identified two types of properties that are (1) requirements sentence quality (RSQ) and (2) requirements document quality (RDQ). For each of the type, its relevant quality indicators were identified. From here, rules on how to identify the quality indicators were further investigated and documented. As a case study, we implemented SRS Quality-Checker tool concept for demonstrating how the rules were implemented to measure the SRS quality

North Sumatra

Special Economic Zones (SEZ) is a region with certain limits within the jurisdiction of Indonesia which is set to perform economic functions and obtain certain facilities. One SEZ developed in North Sumatra Province and included in the National Strategic Area (KSN) Medan - Binjai - Deli Serdang - Karo is SEZ Sei Mangke. SEZ Sei Mangke is defined in PP 29 of 2012 on 27 February 2012 and is the first KEK in Indonesia which was inaugurated its operation by President Joko Widodo on January 27, 2015. KSN Mebidangro itself is an area of priority spatial arrangement because it has a very important influence nationally against state sovereignty, defense and state security, economic, social, cultural, and / or environment, including areas designated as world heritage. This research is an evaluative research intended to find out the end of a policy program in order to determine recommendation of last policy by using CIPO model which includes four stages: (1) context, (2) input, (3) process, and (4) output. The research method used is case study by applying qualitative research that aims to make an accurate interpretation of the characteristics of the object under study. Findings on the evaluation context indicate that the program is generally running well, but some aspects of synergy and policy optimization as well as financing support from central and local government need to be improved. In the input evaluation, and evaluation process some aspects need to be improved because the findings show the weakness of some aspects is the result of lack of synergy and optimization of policy and support from local government. Interesting from the evaluation of ouput is that with some weaknesses in the input and process components, it turns out the evaluation findings ouput show Seek Mangke SEZ development can still run well. The recommendation of this research is to improve the quality of policy synergy / program of SEZ Seek development by improving several aspects that are categorized in each stage of evaluation

Care Evaluation

Funnel plots are graphical tools to assess and compare clinical performance of a group of care professionals or care institutions on a quality indicator against a benchmark. Incorrect construction of funnel plots may lead to erroneous assessment and incorrect decisions potentially with severe consequences. We provide workflow-based guidance for data analysts on constructing funnel plots for the evaluation of binary quality indicators, expressed as proportions, risk-adjusted rates or standardised rates. Our guidelines assume the following steps: (1) defining policy level input; (2) checking the quality of models used for case-mix correction; (3) examining whether the number of observations per hospital is sufficient; (4) testing for overdispersion of the values of the quality indicator; (5) testing whether the values of quality indicators are associated with institutional characteristics; and (6) specifying how the funnel plot should be constructed. We illustrate our guidelines using data from the Dutch National Intensive Care Evaluation registry. We expect that our guidelines will be useful to data analysts preparing funnel plots and to registries, or other organisations publishing quality indicators. This is particularly true if these people and organisations wish to use standard operating procedures when constructing funnel plots, perhaps to comply with the demands of certification.

The aim of this study was to examine the process of activities and measurment- evaluation in the sixth grade math lesson. In the study that was conducted with case study that is one of the qualitative study patterns. A primary math teacher's lessons were observed, and subsequent to the observations, semi-structured interviews with the teacher and the students were performed. The data obtained from the classroom observations demonstrated that the teacher used different variables so as to increase the quality of teaching service and present the new knowledge to the students, enabled the students to understand and use this knowledge and the teacher exhibited some negative behaviours and produced some negative utterances that influenced the quality of the teaching service. The data pertinent to the students suggested that the students demonstrated learning and thinking products, fulfilled learning needs and made some explanations regarding their performance. However, during the application process it was observed that the teacher was more involved and engaged in the class than the students were and that the acquistion of basic skills specific to the subject accomodated certain limitations. Another dimension during the application and evaluation process of the teacher showed that some difficulties were experienced on account of the stucture and design of the content and physical features of the setting. It was also found that the students had difficulty solving and constructing the problem and learning algebra and that they experienced some difficulties owing to the lack of time while evaluating the process of their learning and that the excessive number of the questions in the evaluation forms caused the students to undergo hard times. The results of the study indicate that an in-service training should be held in order to raise awareness of the teachers so that the students can be more involved in the process of learning. The other difficulties and limitations show that some reformations and reorganizations related to the structure of curriculum and the teaching setting  should be performed.

Purpose: New teacher evaluation systems have expanded the role of principals as instructional leaders, but little is known about principals’ ability to promote teacher development through the evaluation process. We conducted a case study of principals’ perspectives on evaluation and their experiences implementing observation and feedback cycles to better understand whether principals feel as though they are able to promote teacher development as evaluators. Research Method: We conducted interviews with a stratified random sample of 24 principals in an urban district that recently implemented major reforms to its teacher evaluation system. We analyzed these interviews by drafting thematic summaries, coding interview transcripts, creating data-analytic matrices, and writing analytic memos. Findings: We found that the evaluation reforms provided a common framework and language that helped facilitate principals’ feedback conversations with teachers. However, we also found that tasking principals with primary responsibility for conducting evaluations resulted in a variety of unintended consequences which undercut the quality of evaluation feedback they provided. We analyze five broad solutions to these challenges: strategically targeting evaluations, reducing operational responsibilities, providing principal training, hiring instructional coaches, and developing peer evaluation systems. Implications: The quality of feedback teachers receive through the evaluation process depends critically on the time and training evaluators have to provide individualized and actionable feedback. Districts that task principals with primary responsibility for conducting observation and feedback cycles must attend to the many implementation challenges associated with this approach in order for next-generation evaluation systems to successfully promote teacher development.

This paper investigates the applicability of User Interaction Diagrams (UIDs) as user scenarios for the specification of software requirements by non-technical customers. Two methods for building user scenarios using UIDs were proposed: the progressive and the regressive methods. These two methods were applied in an experiment where the results demonstrated that the regressive method requires significantly less effort as compared to the progressive method. Furthermore, there was a significant difference in the quality of diagrams obtained from each of the two methods. In our experiment, the regressive method resulted in better quality factors.
