Evaluating education quality as a research instrument: A systematic review

Abstract

The pursuit of quality reflects a fundamental aspiration toward perfection, embodying a commitment to ideal principles and standards. Those who strive for excellence are expected to imbue their work with a sense of conscience and morality. This is particularly salient in organizations that provide services to individuals, including universities, schools, companies, and other educational institutions. In educational contexts, the presence of conscience and morality is crucial for several reasons. First, these attributes cultivate a favorable and principled atmosphere that encourages sincerity, uprightness, and impartiality among students, teachers, and staff members. The aim of this study was to investigate the concept of quality in education and the assessment methods used, drawing on previous studies. Despite numerous studies on this topic, a comprehensive understanding of the quality of education and evaluation tools has yet to be achieved. This study emphasizes the importance of educational quality and stresses the need for educational institutions to gain a thorough understanding of it and stay up-to-date with the latest developments in evaluation methods. Quality in education pertains to the extent of progress made and the fulfillment of expectations by students, parents, and teachers. The evaluation of educational quality is crucial, and there are various methods available for this purpose. One method for evaluating educational quality is to analyze students' exam results and compare them to previous results. Additional indicators of educational quality include students' discipline, their ability to participate in higher education, and their employability. Other factors to consider when evaluating educational quality include educational inspection, retention rates in schools, examination type, course quality, efficiency, effectiveness, cost-effectiveness, school management, and guardians' satisfaction with their children's education. By evaluating these aspects, educational institutions can assess the quality of the educational process and implement necessary improvements.
