In the evaluation of teaching effectiveness, critical factors being considered may vary depending on the use of results.  At higher education institutions, results of evaluation usually merit-academic milestones such as tenure and promotion.  The search for outstanding employees, on the other hand, may require a more rigorous scheme of evaluation.  Furthermore, positive results may lead to a nomination for a scholarship grant. As methods of assessing teaching effectiveness change, concerns about the fair play of alternative methods come up. The researcher used the Methodology by Nunamaker et al. (1990) in designing the Web-based Faculty Evaluation System, which was created on a PHP/MySQL platform. There are various Methodologies, but the Multi-Methodological Approach of Nunamaker et al. (1990) is the most compelling and comprehensive due to its iterative nature and full circle and continuous development that is required to produce a sustainable and scalable system. The data gathered were classified, tallied, analyzed and interpreted using frequency, percentages, and mean.  The findings of this study automating evaluation process will improve the accuracy of the report generated and eliminates issues such as the possibility of manipulating the evaluation result. User acceptance test questions can be formulated based on its Usability.  From the questionnaires survey, the respondents strongly agree that the operation of the system is useful, as revealed from the tables presented in the result and discussion.

Teaching Site

To meet accountability and accreditation requirements, teaching partners and the faculty postgraduate office required more robust and integrated feedback on teaching and assessment. The web-based evaluation system known as POstgraduate Web Evaluation and Registration (POWER) was implemented in 2004/05 by most residency training programs, using their existing forms and scoring scales. At start up, over 250 different evaluation forms and 85 varying scoring scales were in operation across programs for the In-Training Evaluation Reports (ITERs) and resident-completed evaluations for Rotation Evaluation Scores (RES) and Teaching Effectiveness Scores (TES). The POWER Evaluation Working Group was formed to develop a methodology to gather and consolidate evaluations to report on medical residents, their teachers, and rotations in a clear, consistent user-friendly format, map general questions against CanMEDS roles and Family Medicine principles, and convert all scoring scales to a consistent 5 point Likert scale. A standardized naming protocol was developed to map rotation services to individual teaching sites. The 2004/05 analysis of these evaluations (2004/05 Annual POWER Report: Lessons Learned) provide baseline data to begin monitoring trends in resident and faculty performance, assess the quality of programs and identify areas for improvement by CanMEDS standards and CFPC principles. Mean scores, standard deviations and number of evaluations were presented by teaching site and program. Consolidation of evaluations by program and teaching site provides valuable feedback to hospitals and programs wishing to standardize and improve their assessment systems, and to postgraduate medical offices who must maintain evaluation standards and illustrate trends for accreditation purposes. Future activities include: standardizing evaluation forms starting July 2007, improving scoring consistency and accuracy, improve participation rates and timeliness of responses, develop a procedure/case log tracking system, and trend analysis.

Purpose The revolution brought about by the internet and the World Wide Web has led to the development of numerous e-Tendering systems for public sector tendering that have automated various aspects of the manual tendering processes that are known to experience numerous problems. However, one key area that has not been fully addressed is the automation of the evaluation of public tenders based on group decision-making. This paper presents part of the development of a Web-based e-tendering system called Nigerian Public Sector eTender (NPS-eTender) that automate the evaluation of public sector tenders based on group decision-making. Design/methodology/approach The system was developed using object-oriented methodologies. Specifically, Ripple and unified process methodologies were adopted. Findings The results of the system validation showed that NPS-eTender has an average rating of 74% with respect to correct and accurate modelling of the existing tendering domain and an average rating of 67.6% with respect to its potential to enhance the proficiency of public sector tendering in Nigeria. Based on the results of the validation, it can be concluded that the automation of the tender evaluation process can lead to a more proficient tendering process. Originality/value This research has contributed to the development of an e-Tendering system for the public sector that supports the whole tendering lifecycle including the automation of evaluation of public tenders based on group decision-making.

<p>Given the prevalent use of the student evaluations of teaching (SET) as a measure of teaching effectiveness, this study aims to investigate the determinants of SET scores among students attending the College of Business Studies at the Public Authority for Applied Education and Training (PAAET), Kuwait. A total of 678 SET were analysed using univariate and multiple regression analyses. It was found that SET scores were significantly and positively biased by expected grade, student age and course level. In contrast, class size and faculty experience were found to be significantly and negatively related to SET. Expected grade had the strongest impact on SET scores.<em> </em>The study findings raise concerns about the reliability and validity of the SET as well as their suitability for evaluation purposes. As SET scores have an important assessment function and serve as formative and summative measures in personnel decisions, the incentives for faculty to compromise their grading standards to receive good teaching evaluations increase. Accordingly, administrators should devote more effort to ensure a careful and complete understanding and interpretation of SET if they want to effectively incorporate them into the faculty evaluation process. To the authors’ knowledge, this is the first study to explore determinants of student evaluations of teaching scores in Kuwait.</p>

Traditional methods of teaching have created several gaps in the Faculty Evaluation System. E-Governance of Faculty Evaluation System is a modern technique which leads to an efficient performance of the education system. Driven by the need for transparency in the system, the aim of this article is to propose a model for an efficient E-Governance of the Faculty Evaluation. The authors have conducted a qualitative study to build up a theoretical model for E-Governance of Faculty Evaluation System. Nineteen enablers are identified from the literature and model has been developed through Total Interpretive Structural Modeling Approach (TISM). The VAXO model, Reachability matrix, binary interaction matrix and transitive links have been explained in the article. The research has developed a model for the Faculty Evaluation System. This is an important concept and is in need at the present hour. This concept could bring equality in faculty employment system and impart quality knowledge to the Education System. This concept can create a novelty in the education system.

Intrinsic Complexity

The European Green Deal (EGD) is the most ambitious decarbonisation strategy currently envisaged, with a complex mix of different instruments aiming at improving the sustainability of the development patterns of the European Union in the next 30 years. The intrinsic complexity brings key open questions on the cost and effectiveness of the strategy. In this paper we propose a novel methodological approach to soft-linking two modelling tools, a systems thinking (ST) and a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, in order to provide a broader ex-ante policy evaluation process. We use ST to highlight the main economic feedback loops the EGD strategy might trigger. We then quantify these loops with a scenario analysis developed in a dynamic CGE framework. Our main finding is that such a soft-linking approach allows discovery of multiple channels and spillover effects across policy instruments that might help improve the policy mix design. Specifically, positive spillovers arise from the adoption of a revenue recycling mechanism that ensures strong support for the development and diffusion of clean energy technologies. Such spillover effects benefit not only the European Union (EU) market but also non-EU countries via trade-based technology transfer, with a net positive effect in terms of global emissions reduction.

To Receive

Background The Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education requires residents to receive milestone-based evaluations in key areas. Shortcomings of the traditional evaluation system (TES) are a low completion rate and delay in completion. We hypothesized that adoption of a mobile evaluation system (MES) would increase the number of evaluations completed and improve their timeliness. Methods Traditional evaluations for a general surgery residency program were converted into a web-based form via a widely available, free, and secure application and implemented in August 2017. After 8 months, MES data were analyzed and compared to that of our TES. Results 122 mobile evaluations were completed; 20% were solicited by residents. Introduction of the MES resulted in an increased number of evaluations per resident ( P = .0028) and proportion of faculty completing evaluations ( P = .0220). Timeliness also improved, with 71% of evaluations being completed during one’s clinical rotation. Conclusions A resident-driven MES is an inexpensive and effective method to augment traditional end-of-rotation evaluations.

Collection Methods

Destination image is among the most studied constructs in tourism research. Many researchers are still convinced that the rating scale method is the most accurate for assessing destination image. This study presents alternative methods of data collection, namely, free-sorting and reduced paired comparisons, and investigates their applicability in a Web-based environment. The study then subjects these data collection methods to empirical analysis and compares the judgment task’s effects on perceived difficulty, fatigue, and boredom, on data quality, and on perceptual maps derived with MDS. The findings demonstrate that these methods are more accurate whenever a large number of objects have to be judged, which is particularly the case for positioning and competitiveness studies.

In this paper, the Support Vector Machine (SVM) theory is applied to secondary school teachers evaluation systems. And the evaluation attributes of secondary school teachers are set in accordance with certain requirements. Through the use of sample data on the teacher evaluation system for a certain amount of training, we get a trained model, then evaluate and analyze the teachers data to be measured. This approach can make secondary school teachers assessment more accurate and reasonable, greatly reduce the workload of teaching management, and reduce the number of artificially errors in the evaluation process.
