The lack of standards to objectively assess the quality of teaching opened a new path of research. Teaching involves a lot of different tasks and activities that should be explored, so, consequently, when talking about quality of teaching, it makes sense to look at teaching as a process and to assess its maturity. This contribution briefly looks at existing approaches, and introduces the idea of a teaching maturity model (TeaM) for school and university teachers. Such a framework, even though it proves helpful from a measurement perspective, might not be acceptable by teachers, so this paper presents the results of a study for testing the TeaM model in respect to its usability and acceptability with informatics lecturers at the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt. The results show the interest of our teachers in the model, but also some of the impediments that have to be dealt with when applying the model on a larger scale.

“…A detailed description of the TeaM and its related PAs can be found in the paper of Reçi and Bollin [3], where also a first assessment related to its consistency is presented. For the validation as presented in this study, another survey (including two questionnaires and one interview) were conducted.…”

“…In short, MMs are approaches that improve the industry performance through incremental and structured enhancement, increasing the competence of organisations in achieving strategic objectives. MMs were originally developed for software companies, but nowadays they are often tailored for other fields as construction, manufacturing, service development and, specially, education (OSWALD; LINGARD, 2019) (SCHUMACHER et al, 2016) (REÇI;BOLLIN, 2017).…”

Towards the Establishment of a Capability Model for Open Access Repositories

Education is evolving through the years. Computers, mobile devices and the growing access to the Internet are playing a big role in these changes. Open Educational Resources (OERs) emerge in this context, trying to gather the strengths of the modern and technological society in order to improve the overall quality of global education. OERs are any type of teaching, learning and research materials that can be reached in the public domain or have been published under one of the intellectual property licenses. OERs enable the learning process to be open and flexible, providing suitable opportunities and adapted to individual needs, promoting overall improvement of teaching abilities, reducing the global cultural gap, minimizing the dependence of commercial books and helping students from poor communities. Universities, educational institutions and others non-profit organizations often share their OER content through Open Access (OA) repositories. However, there is some concerns about the quality assurance these OA repositories; most institutions only uses their brand and reputation to persuade their students that their resources have an adequate excellence degree. In a different but related perspective, Maturity and Capability Models emerged as an interesting approach for quality assurance. The main idea is to improve the industry performance through incremental and structured enhancement, increasing the competence of organisations in achieving strategic objectives. Maturity and Capability Models were originally developed for software companies, but nowadays they are often tailored for other fields, specially on the education area. Although there are indeed several educational Maturity and Capability models, none of them are specifically related to OERs. In this context, the main goal of this Master's work is to verify whether a capability model, specifically tailored for OERs sharing initiatives, can improve the academic trust in the related processes of such initiatives. The model should support students searching for OERs, educators that want to share their own resources and maintainers searching for points of improvement in their repositories. Our research indicate which qualities must be considered when characterizing an Open Access Repository. As a result we developed a Capability Model for Open Access Repositories, named CM-OAR, aiming at the enhancement of the trustworthiness of these repositories, by solving, or at least minimizing, the concerns about its quality assurance.
