“…Mokhsin et al (2015) defined test reliability as the degree of consistency that the test instrument measures the variable to be measured in the research study. Sawand et al (2015) highlighted two principles that must be recognised concerning test reliability. Firstly, it pertains to test scores, not the test instruments, such as the IELTS test analysed in this study.…”

Background: Despite the evolution of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) to accommodate the evolving needs of test-takers and institutions, concerns have been raised regarding its reliability in assessing English language proficiency. Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the reliability of the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) design as a measure of English language proficiency. Methodology: To explore this issue, the research reviewed relevant literature and employed various methods, including frequency analyses, data analytics, and machine learning algorithms based on mathematical principles. Unlike previous studies, this work analysed a dataset of 33,505 authentic band scores, allowing for a comprehensive examination of IELTS test score patterns. Findings: The findings revealed that the concept of reliability is complex, and the statistical methods used by IELTS test providers, based on classical test theory, may provide approximate rather than precise scores. Relying solely on the reputation and authority of the IELTS test is insufficient to establish its reliability, as it involves logical fallacies and arguments from authority. Research implications: It is necessary to conduct further independent research to ensure the IELTS test's reliability and address the concerns expressed by researchers and test-takers.

“…Student evaluations are said to be formative when the purpose is to assist faculty members in improving and enhancing their teaching skills [5]. Another model that has been shown to be highly effective for getting feedback for course improvement is the 'Stop, Start, Continue' (SSC) format (see [6][7][8]). However, some of these methods have their own disadvantages, which thus do not make them all sufficient approaches.…”

Course delivery evaluation of programmes by students in higher education institutions has become a global phenomenon for improving the quality of teaching and learning. From the past, it has been discovered that the quality of effective teaching and learning in Higher Education is dwindling and thus, the relevance of graduates to the development of national growth becomes an issue to be addressed. To solve this challenge, quality control and enhancement of course delivery comes to the fore in attacking the menace. The data used in this chapter consist of six thousand, eight hundred and fifty-eight responses from four hundred and seventy-six courses. The data were clustered first according to departments and then according to the lecturers. The thematic areas studied are lecture delivery, lecturer’s attitude to learners, coverage of curriculum, use of library and internet for research, healthy lecturers-learners’ relationships, and feedback system. A simple but powerful statistical analysis was deployed to analyse the data. The results reflected areas that have critical effect on teaching and learning. The results showed that 24% of the factors considered in this study have significant effects on effective teaching and learning. Furthermore, about 20% of the lecturers assessed were lacking in the determined factors.

TQM is a program that provides a structure (framework) and tools for quality management which is very important for the progress of higher education. This study aims to prove and determine the effect of TQM on improving higher education quality in several countries. This study used a quantitative meta-analysis method. The aspect of TQM is the independent variable, and higher education quality is the dependent variable. The data sources were obtained based on the eligibility criteria: (1) from online database searches from 2012-2021; (2) indexed by Scopus, WoS or Google Scholar; (3) had a value of (r), (t), or (F); and (4) N ≥ 30. This research uses the software JASP 0.8 4.0 version. The results of the analysis of 26 studies show that there was a significant effect of TQM on the quality of higher education in several countries (z = 7.900; p < 0.001; 95% CI [0.640; 1.069]). The effect of TQM on the quality of higher education was in the very strong effect category (rRE = 0.856) based on Cohen's criteria effect size. This meta-analysis study's results are reliable since there was no publication bias. So, it can be concluded that TQM has such a powerful influence and is believable. This study can strengthen the theory regarding the application of TQM in higher education because it is proven to affect the quality of higher education.
