PREDICTING THE UNIVERSITY TEACHERS’ PERFORMANCE: A SURVEY OF GOMAL UNIVERSITY (A PSO), DIK

Abstract

The performance of teachers is commonly measured by the colleagues, students and administrative heads through a questionnaire containing questions about the criteria for evaluation: efficiency, effectiveness, responsiveness and innovation. The overall score is therefore predicted by the data on four factor-criteria. It is however argued that the demographic characteristics of the evaluators also play significant role in defining the overall scores of evaluation. This paper applies regression tools to predict the overall score of teachers performance, first with predictors (criteria) and then with the demographic variables. As the results show that four-factor criteria is making 17% (R2=0.168) change in the OS while demographics poor predictors of OS as their R2 = 0.015 meaning than only 2% of OS has been explained.
