Abstract:

A faculty performance evaluation instrument is developed in response to the changing modalities of delivering the lessons to students. Flexible learning is adapted to design and deliver programs, courses, and interventions that address learner’s unique needs in terms of pace, place, processes, and products of learning. Faculty performance evaluation provides a formative and summative feedback to administrators as guide for decision making and the faculty for career development. Guided by the institutional framework for organizational excellence, Fink model of integrated course design, Chickering and Gamson’s seven principles of effective teaching the study follows a modified Biner’s model. The items are developed from literature, previous instruments, and a focus group discussion with stakeholders. The initial draft of questionnaire consists of 47 items and is reduced to 32 items after two validation rounds with students, administrators and faculty. The developed instrument consists of 32 items covered in four identified dimensions, course design and content, instructional delivery, relational expertise and monitoring learning. The faculty performance evaluation instrument is considered as acceptable having a reliability index of .870.
