An Evaluation of Teaching Performance: The Fuzzy AHP and Comprehensive Evaluation Approach
Authors: ,
Abstract: Teaching performance evaluation is one of the main instruments to improve teaching quality and plays an important role in strengthening management of higher education institutions. In this paper, we present a framework for teaching performance evaluation based on fuzzy AHP and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation methods. First, the teaching performance index system was determined and then the factor and sub-factor weights were calculated by the fuzzy AHP method. Employing the fuzzy AHP in group decision making facilitated a consensus of decision-makers and reduces uncertainty. Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation was then employed to evaluate teaching performance. This paper also used a case application to illustrate the proposed framework. The application of this framework can obtain a scientific and objective evaluation result. It is expected that this work may serve as a tool for educational institution managers that improves teaching performance quality.
