Research on Global Higher Education Quality Based on BP Neural Network and Analytic Hierarchy Process

Having a universal, fair, democratic and practical higher education system plays a particularly important role in the future development of the country. However, the higher education system in various countries is uneven. It is of great significance to establish a general evaluation system for the development of global education. In this paper, 23 indicators are preliminarily selected from the education data of Universitas 21 and Global Statistical Yearbook. After the gray correlation analysis, 12 indicators were selected. On the one hand, principal component analysis is used to reduce the dimension of these 12 indicators in 50 countries, and the first four principal components with cumulative contribution rate of 99% are finally selected as the input parameters of BP neural network. On the other hand, 12 indicators are divided into four aspects as the standard of scheme decision-making. Finally, a higher education quality evaluation and decision-making model based on BP neural network and analytic hierarchy process are established. Then eight countries are selected to use the model to evaluate their current higher education quality. Based on the input and evaluation results of the four aspects of higher education in various countries, the analytic hierarchy process is used to make program decision, and several improvement suggestions are put forward for the current education policies of various countries.

The Evaluation Practice at a Sino-British University

As an institution,Xi’an Jiaotong Liverpool University(XJTLU)is unique in China.It is the only Chinese institution that awards students both UK degree and Chinese degree,so it has two sets of control,one of which is to meet all the requirements of the UK Higher Education(HE)standards and the other is to go through all the requirements of Chinese degree awarding powers.Due to its specific relationship with University of Liverpool(UoL),XJTLU is also under close scrutiny from UoL.All of these are reflected in the XJTLU internal and external Quality Assurance(QA)frameworks and procedures.This article focuses on describing and analysing how XJTLU monitors the teaching and assessment processes to meet the UK HE QA standards.Generally,the monitoring system is robust and multidimensional,involving students and peers as observers/reviewers.To understand students’perspectives on the teaching quality and their learning experience,the university provides official channels for students to provide ratings and/or qualitative comments on modules and instructors at the middle and the end of semester,while module instructors are expected to do reflection and revision of their teaching accordingly.In addition to that,each module instructor has to observe a peer’s class annually and engage in dialogues with the peer reviewer before and after the observation.To ensure the quality of assessment tasks and marking standards,module leaders have to actively communicate with internal moderators,UoL moderators and external moderators in the Assessment Preparation Review(APR)and Marking Moderation Review(MMR)processes.In general,the evaluation practice of teaching and assessment plays an important role in ensuring the educational quality is maintained and enhanced at XJTLU and is comparable with international best practice.So far,many disciplines at the university have been certified by international professional organizations,which strengthens the university’s global positioning,and directly improves the competitiveness of graduates in the global job market.The author hopes to provide some insights of the QA practice at XJTLU to help teachers and education administrators in different contexts to understand the benefits and progress to be made in terms of teaching and assessment evaluation to ensure the high quality of student training.

Importance-performance analysis: Revisiting a tool for the evaluation of clinical services

The importance-performance analysis method (IPA) is used in market research in order to measure the level of customer satisfaction. The aim of this study was to evaluate and highlight the use of IPA as a management tool to measure quality of dental services. We suggest that this method can be easily implemented in a dental educational setting, as a performance outcome measure that includes patient input. The study was conducted in a dental service through a valid questionnaire, SERVQUAL. This instrument explores levels of service quality perceived by patients. It was conducted in four companies in Brazil in 2011 (derived from different industry segments;two from textiles, one from hospital care and the other from the manufacturing industry) in two States (S?o Paulo and Minas Gerais). These companies were covered by the same dental managed care organization which contracted with independent dentists to provide care. The study was divided into two stages: the first, in which beneficiaries answered the questionnaire prior to receiving dental treatment, and the second when the same beneficiaries answered after completing their dental treatment. Data obtained from SERVQUAL generated graphs that were used to characterize the IPA matrix using several dimensions of care. The Assurance Dimension had the highest average in both expectation and perception. The Reliability dimension showed the value of the most negative GAP among the dimensions, and the best value occurred in the Responsiveness dimension. The IPA tool may be effective in Dental Medicine since it highlights the key points to be improved in the delivery of dental services in a clinical setting.

Improving Quality of Education by Evaluating the Capacity of Lecturers Using a Web Based System

Evaluating the capacity of lecturer is the key to improve quality of education by improving lecturer capacity in higher education institution. Lecturer’s capacity has been evaluated using different parameters in Assosa University, Ethiopia. Mandatorily, lecturers are evaluated using printed check list. For the last few years we observed that, the lecturer efficiency score is found on the shelf and not checked by anyone to know the gaps and to establish follow-up system. The use of intranet based web system is better to use lecturer’s efficiency result to monitor their performance and to establish follow-up mechanism. In this study, a prototype of web based yearbook efficiency management system for evaluating and monitoring the performance of lecturers was designed and developed. The evaluation process in the system was presented according to the university evaluation format. The output generated by the proposed system can be used by lecturers, HoD, HRM and academic managers to monitor teaching performance.
