Streamlining Faculty Evaluations: A Web-Based System for Enhanced Efficiency and Data-Driven Insights

Abstract

Faculty evaluation is critical for improving teaching and student learning. Traditional methods, often reliant on student surveys, lack detail, and miss perspectives. This paper explores a Web-based Faculty Evaluation System (WFES) that leverages collaborative feedback to enhance teaching quality. The proposed WFES goes beyond traditional methods by incorporating multiple sources. It facilitates online student feedback through targeted surveys, self-reflection tools, and potentially integrated peer observation. This enriches the evaluation process with diverse viewpoints. A key benefit is efficient data collection. Online surveys and self-reflection tools reduce administrative burdens and streamline evaluation. Data analysis can identify areas for improvement, inform professional development, and target feedback for faculty. The collaborative nature fosters a culture of continuous improvement. By incorporating student, potentially peer, and self-reflection feedback, the system provides valuable insights for faculty, leading to more informed teaching practices and ultimately benefiting student learning. This research evaluates the implemented WFES using the ISO/IEC 25010 model. A web-based survey gathered feedback from a diverse group. The evaluation yielded promising results, with the WFES achieving a high overall score. However, areas for improvement in resource utilization and user interface design were identified. This research informs future development strategies to refine functionalities, enhance user experience, and ultimately strengthen faculty evaluation effectiveness.
