Designing a comprehensive model for teaching quality evaluation of faculty members: the case of Razi University

The main purpose of this study was to design a comprehensive model for teaching quality evaluation through descriptive-survey. The statistical population was comprised of full-time faculty members at Razi University (N = 224). Simple random sampling method and Bartlett's table were used (n = 132).Validity of questioniare were calculated with a panel of experts and its reliability by Cronbach's alpha coefficients (0/83). In data analysis, mean and standard deviation and inferential statistical methods including factor analysis and stepwise regression analysis using SPSS14 software were used. Based on findings, Razi university faculties were not so satisfied from the existing quality of evaluation. The most important threatening factors of evaluation were strictness or leniency of the scoring, a serious failure of forms, and accuracy of students. Appropriate method and time of evaluation, competent persons for executing evaluation, and appropriate method of feedback were most important elements of evaluation quality system. The most important factors of evaluation of teaching quality in factor analysis were behaviors of professor, teaching management, personality characters, innovation in teaching, and ability of raising mentalities. Finally, a comprehensive model of teaching quality was presented.
