Academic Teaching Quality Framework and Performance Evaluation Using Machine Learning

Abstract

Higher education institutions’ principal goal is to give their learners a high-quality education. The volume of research data gathered in the higher education industry has increased dramatically in recent years due to the fast development of information technologies. The Learning Management System (LMS) also appeared and is bringing courses online for an e-learning model at almost every level of education. Therefore, to ensure the highest level of excellence in the higher education system, finding information for predictions or forecasts about student performance is one of many tasks for ensuring the quality of education. Quality is vital in e-learning for several reasons: content, user experience, credibility, and effectiveness. Overall, quality is essential in e-learning because it helps ensure that learners receive a high-quality education and can effectively apply their knowledge. E-learning systems can be made more effective with machine learning, benefiting all stakeholders of the learning environment. Teachers must be of the highest caliber to get the most out of students and help them graduate as academically competent and well-rounded young adults. This research paper presents a Quality Teaching and Evaluation Framework (QTEF) to ensure teachers’ performance, especially in e-learning/distance learning courses. Teacher performance evaluation aims to support educators’ professional growth and better student learning environments. Therefore, to maintain the quality level, the QTEF presented in this research is further validated using a machine learning model that predicts the teachers’ competence. The results demonstrate that when combined with other factors particularly technical evaluation criteria, as opposed to strongly associated QTEF components, the anticipated result is more accurate. The integration and validation of this framework as well as research on student performance will be performed in the future.

Unlocking Teacher Professional Performance: Exploring Teaching Creativity in Transmitting Digital Literacy, Grit, and Instructional Quality

“…It indicates that teachers' instructional quality is an essential element in developing their professional performance. This finding is in line with previous studies that argue that instructional quality is closely related to teachers' professional performance [8,74]. Conse-quently, teachers must strive to improve their instructional quality well and consistently to help improve their professional performance.…”

“…Teacher quality, including competence and performance in the classroom, has a significant impact on student learning outcomes [8]. Additionally, teaching quality relates to performance [74]. Accordingly, we can formulate the third hypothesis: H3: Instructional quality directly relates to teachers' professional performance.…”

“…Additionally, Google Collab integrates with Google Drive to facilitate storing and retrieving datasets, models, and notebooks. Implementing the model in Google Collab increases accessibility, scalability, and performance, making it desirable for engineering applications in data science and machine learning ( Almufarreh, Noaman & Saeed, 2023 ).…”

Non-Traditional Adult Learners After COVID-19: Applying National Standards for Online Teaching in Human Service Education

“…Given the trends of NALs and online education, the implementation of andragogical principles is needed to meet the needs of these learners. The national standards for online quality teaching provide a framework for online service delivery that in conjunction with andragogy principles can increase accessibility and reduce many of the challenges commonly experienced by NALs (Almufarreh et al, 2023;Stone & Springer, 2019) Challenges of Non-Traditional Adult Learners in Online Courses While distance learning increases accessibility to NAL, it also poses challenges (Bok, 2021). Unlike traditional classroom environments where faculty and students have consistent face to face interactions in which to build a sense of connection, online learning can pose challenges with engagement (Jackson, 2019;Puspitasari & Oetoyo, 2018).…”
