The Study of APIPA Model Concept Development through the Application of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)

Improving the quality of teacher performance programs certainly requires the important role of teachers and school leaders. The role of teachers can be seen in the implementation of performance programs which require systematic and structured evaluation of performance programs. The results of the evaluation and monitoring of the implementation of the teacher performance program by school leaders are used as material for consideration in making decisions about the quality level of the teacher performance program. Making this decision is very difficult for a school leader in evaluating teacher performance programs. In this case, a modified program evaluation was developed by the CIPP model program evaluation with ALKIN model program evaluation. The research used Development Research (R&D) using 4D design (Define, Design, Development, Dissemination). The Define stage conducts a literature review regarding weaknesses in the CIPP and ALKIN model program evaluation syntax. The Design stage prepares the topology related to the main ideas of the program evaluation development syntax. The Development stage carries out operational definitions and indicators for each program evaluation syntax. The dissemination stage carries out an expert judgment or assessment of the experts who are analyzed using the analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) to determine the consistency of the program evaluation development concept. The results using AHP are consistent with the concept of developing the APIPA model program evaluation which has the syntax Assessment, Planning, Implementation, Product, and Appreciation for evaluating teacher performance programs.

An analytical approach for an AI-based teacher performance evaluation system in Saudi Arabia’s schools

Teacher performance evaluation is essential to a teacher’s primary responsibilities. This study investigates the process of evaluating teachers’ performance to provide a basis for planning an ongoing professional development program. AI-based systems present an opportunity for objective and reliable evaluations, facilitating the identification of areas requiring improvement and contributing to the overall enhancement of educational quality. Consequently, incorporating AI into evaluating teachers has become a research hotspot. This research proposes an analytical comprehensive AI-based system for teacher evaluation. Moreover, we introduce a novel analytical index system derived from the current adopted Key Performance Indicators (KPI) in the Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia and an overall algorithm. This study is part of an integrated project to evaluate teachers’ performance using AI. To build our model, we are accurately determining the evaluative weights through 13 workshops held with 283 field experts. The main hypothesis is that the weights were evenly distributed. After studying them, we found they were relatively different by 0.1 to 0.3%. By analyzing T-KPI, we believe that our proposed index system could overcome the limitations of human-based assessments as it assigned appropriate AI techniques for each, thus ensuring accurate, reliable, and objective evaluation. This innovation would also economically impact rationalizing spending and reducing costs.

Contradictions and Challenges: University Teachers’ Views on Performance Evaluation Models in Portugal and Spain

Teacher performance evaluation is a key component of high performing quality assurance education systems. The main focus of the present paper is to examine how international trends in teacher evaluation policies determine teachers’ working conditions in different higher education contexts. A comparative study was implemented at two public universities of Southern Europe (Portugal and Spain), with the aim of elucidating university teachers’ perceptions regarding the current teacher evaluation model. To achieve this, we conducted 28 semi-structured interviews, employing a comparative approach in their design. The findings suggest that participants encounter discrepancies within the stated objectives of teacher performance evaluation in higher education. Such evaluation is perceived as an external imposition with a very poor democratic process, focusing mostly on the quantitative perspective and with uncertain consequences.

Finally, the performance evaluation results of X University are analyzed, and according to the actual situation of X University, suggestions are put forward for the performance evaluation of teachers in X University from three aspects: strengthening teacher workload management, improving performance evaluation feedback mechanism, establishing teacher performance incentive mechanism, strengthening teacher social service, and improving teacher scientific research ability.

IMPLEMENTATION ANALYSIS OF THE NATIONAL POLICY ON EDUCATION ON EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN AKPABUYO LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA, CROSS RIVER STATE

This study is an evaluation of the implementation of the National Policy on Education's provisions for Early Childhood Education (ECE) within Akpabuyo Local Government Area, Cross River State, Nigeria. The research aimed to assess the extent to which the policy's guidelines are being implemented in the local ECE centers. It utilized a survey methodology, gathering data through the Early Childhood Education Performance Evaluation Questionnaire (ECEPEQ) from a sample of 97 educators and 11 principals across 20 institutions. The study was conducted against the backdrop of a growing global focus on ECE and its impact on children's development, readiness for school, and long-term outcomes. The research is particularly relevant in the context of Nigeria, where the formal recognition of ECE began in 1977 with the National Policy on Education, which has since been revised multiple times to improve the quality of education provided to young children. The outcomes of the study indicated that while there exists a policy framework for Early Childhood Education overseen by the Local Government Area, there are significant gaps in the monitoring and application of these policies such as the inconsistent Application of the Play-way Approach and lack of integration of the local language. Although the teaching staff are adequately qualified with the National Policy on Education curriculum duly followed, the play-way approach to teaching was not uniformly applied as suggested. Additionally, integration of the local language into the classroom setting was found to be lacking. Consequently, it is advised that the government should implement robust monitoring systems and foster ongoing dialogue to guarantee the successful execution of the National Policy on ECE throughout the State.

Performance Evaluation in Higher Education – A Comparative Approach

Abstract Higher education stands as an essential base point in the current knowledge societies, shaping the way to sustainable growth and enhanced life quality. Literature recognizes higher education institutions as powerhouses which, through their own capabilities and partnerships, can champion innovation in a transformative way. Being widely praised for the transformative output they generate through the conducted operations, literature notes that when the educational process is defined by an outstanding quality and performance, multiple benefits arise for all the stakeholders involved. However, since quality and performance are very nuanced and volatile concepts, ensuring them in higher education necessitates a good understanding of the educational ecosystem as well as its ongoing monitoring. To encourage this aim, the selection of proper key performance indicators and the consistent implementation of performance appraisal actions have to be enacted so the end beneficiaries of the educational process and other stakeholders are provided maximal quality. As performance evaluation can be deployed by considering various indicators, higher education institutions need to carefully design, apply its steps and run follow-up actions to determine what is still to be improved.

Development of Teaching Performance Evaluation Application for Lecturers Using K-Nearest Neighbor Method with Manhattan Distance Approach

Based on the initial observation, there are several underlying issues that form the basis of this research. The teaching performance evaluation at Padang State University has limitations regarding the courses to be evaluated. Each student can only evaluate 5 (five) courses per semester, where these five courses are randomly selected by the system, allowing each student to evaluate different courses even in the same class. The evaluation of teaching performance at Padang State University is not specific to individual lecturers but to the courses. One course can be taught by several lecturers, so students evaluating the learning cannot provide assessments for each lecturer. This results in each lecturer not having their own performance results. Furthermore, the teaching performance evaluation at Padang State University does not have a classification for the filled evaluations, thus requiring a long time to calculate the final results. This study uses the Research and Development (R&D) method with the 4-D development model consisting of four stages: definition, design, development, and dissemination. The type of data used is primary data obtained from 3 media validators, the evaluation administration of Padang State University, and 46 students. The data analysis technique used is descriptive data analysis to describe the validity and practicality of the developed lecturer performance evaluation application. The results of this development study produced a lecturer performance evaluation with 202 training data, 47 test data, resulting in an accurate system with a precision value of 88.76%, a recall value of 89.93%, and a program accuracy value of 94.04%. The validity results of the web-based learning evaluation conducted by media experts obtained a score of 0.864 with a valid category. The practicality value of using web-based lecturer performance evaluation by students obtained a score of 87.42 with a practical category. Meanwhile, the practicality value obtained by the evaluation administration of Padang State University is 89.33 with a practical category.
