Introduction to the Electronic Educational Faculty Performance Report Unit

 

The quantitative and qualitative evaluation of the educational activities of faculty members is a crucial factor in enhancing the quality of education at universities and is among the most essential processes for monitoring and improving medical universities. In this regard, the role of faculty members is significant due to their direct impact on the educational process. To enhance educational processes at the university, it is necessary to develop indicators for educational activities in the form of an educational Faculty Performance Report and to calculate scores within this Faculty Performance Report for evaluating faculty members’ educational performance. This evaluation is vital for promotions and selecting exemplary professors.

The electronic Faculty Performance Report was designed as an educational evaluation criterion for promotions and selecting exemplary professors in the Basic Sciences and Dentistry departments of this university. Initially, it was implemented manually and non-electronically for approximately one year. During this period, the quality and quantity of educational activities significantly increased.

Subsequently, in September 2016, the Faculty Performance Report was digitized with substantial quantitative and qualitative improvements compared to the previous version. It was made available to faculty members through the university’s website, the Education Vice-Chancellor’s portal, and the Studies Center. In 2018, a research-oriented version of the Faculty Performance Report was designed and uploaded to the system. These Faculty Performance Reports undergo annual revisions.

The Faculty Performance Reports are also used to complete quality-of-education forms for academic promotions and performance reports for full-time geographical assignments. It is hoped that continuous upgrades to these Faculty Performance Reports will further enhance the quality and quantity of education, contributing to the university’s prestige.
