Evaluation and Quality Assurance of teaching: the Evaluation Board in the AVA Process

Abstract

<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>In this article, we introduce the Evaluation Board (EB-NdV) task in the AVA system (Accreditamento, Valutazione e Auto-valutazione). The AVA was implemented in 2013 in the Italian University System according to the document called “European Standards and Guidelines for Quality Assurance in the European Higher Education Area (ESG)”. The ENQA’s guidelines (2005) provide for the construction of a common European area dedicated to university and post-university. In the University, the three main actors involved in the Quality Assurance (QA) system are the Evaluation Board (Nucleo di Valutazione, EB-NdV), the University Quality Board (PQ) and the Joint Student-Teacher Commission (CP). The EB-NdV has documented functions of evaluation and monitoring of the QA system, designed by the PQ following the strategic guidelines of the governing bodies of the university institution. The EB-NdV works as Independent Assessment Body (OIV) too. This task regards the assessment procedures concerning structures and human resources dedicated to the administrative support of the core activities of the universities. The EB-NdV draws up an Annual Report related to the AVA system. In conclusion the EB-NdV evaluates the QA system of the University in its entirety and in all its aspects. Moreover, the EB-NdV evaluates the relationships between the University Quality Board and the Joint Student-Teacher Commission (CP).</jats:p>

English Teaching Quality Evaluation Based on Analytic Hierarchy Process and Fuzzy Decision Tree Algorithm

“…Andriola will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of various subjects, clarify the existing problems of students in the evaluation of teaching quality, and indicate that students play a leading role in the evaluation of teaching quality [ 6 ]. Ghiazza and Salviati pointed out that we should set up a view of the quality of teaching analysis so that university leaders can recognize the importance of students in the evaluation process, develop a benign design index, and feedback results' cycle [ 7 ]. Ni and Shen use a decision tree algorithm to do a decision tree analysis of college entrance examination results and use the generated decision tree model [ 8 ] to predict students' college entrance examination results.…”

Quality Evaluation System of English Innovative Teaching Based on Hybrid Optimization Algorithm

“…Normative: The system development strictly follows the rules of software development and is designed based on a unified software development model. The program code is standardized in the development process, there are corresponding code restrictions, and relevant documents are required [7].…”
