| Abstract: | Identifying significant indicators of teaching-learning performance affecting the
efficiency of teachers in tertiary level at university is an indispensable factor in
upholding the quality of teaching in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses
in higher education. The present study has tried to evaluate the relative efficiency of
teachers’ performance in English for Academic Purpose (EAP) courses, followed by
identifying the most significant indicators of teaching-learning performance using
Students’ Course-instructor Evaluation (SCE) survey and the students’ final grades.
Furthermore, it attempts to prioritize the significant teaching indicators affecting the
teachers’ performance in English for Academic courses.
For this purpose, the study applies Data Envelopment Analysis, Performance
Improvement Management Software (PIM-DEA) on related courses for 10.000
students’ data in four consistent academic years. First, the efficiency performance of
EAP teachers is evaluated and later, a sensitivity analysis and weight analysis are
applied to identify the most significant learner-instructor indicator which has impact
on the EAP teacher performance. Identifying the significant learner-instructor
analysis is done in two different methods in PIM-DEA to prove the validity of the
analysis. The study is finalized with an interview with EAP teachers to ameliorate
the efficiency performance of EAP teachers. The result of the analysis accentuates
the significant indicators that impact the teachers’ performance. It reveals that the
degree of student satisfaction in relation to assignments, exams, and grading systems
are significant factors related to the efficiency of teacher performance. The study has
been finalized by concrete proposals for teachers to enhance the quality of teaching
performance in EAP classes. ÖZ:
Yüksek öğretimde öğretmenlerin verimliliğini etkileyen öğretme-öğrenme
performansının önemli göstergelerinin belirlenmesi, eğitim kalitesinin devamı için
vazgeçilmez bir etkendir. Bu çalışmada, Akademik Amaçlı İngilizce (AAİ) sınıfları
için öğretmenlerin performanslarının göreceli etkinliğini değerlendirme ve bunu
takiben Öğrencilerin kurs-eğitmen değerlendirmesi (ÖKD) anketi ve öğrencilerin
final notları kullanılarak öğretme-öğrenme performansının en önemli göstergeleri
belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bunun yaninda, öğretmenlerin AAİ sınıfları için İngilizce
performansını etkileyen önemli öğretim göstergeleri önceliklendirilmiştir. Bu
amaçla, bu çalışmada, dört ardışık akademik yılda, 10.000 öğrencinin verileri için
ilgili derslere Veri Zarflama Analizi’ni (VZA) uygulanmıştır. Yapilan analiz
sonucunda, öğretmenlerin performansını etkileyen önemli göstergeler
vurgulanmaktadır. Çalışma, AAİ sınıflarındaki öğretim performansının kalitesini
artırmak için öğretmenlere somut öneriler getirilerek sonuçlandırılmıştır. |
