2016
Aim: Evaluating the educational performance of faculty members in higher education is a basic element in
planning to improve education. The aim of this study is to design an instrument for the educational evaluation
of faculty members of dentistry faculty.
Materials and Methods: Having reviewed the literature and held panel discussions, first a preliminary list of
33 important evaluation questions was prepared and the content and face validity were used to check the
validity and Cronbach's alpha coefficients and Pearson correlation coefficient were used to assess the
reliability of the test. The votes of members of the group that were assigned to essential options were
quantified through the Content Validity Ratio (CVR). The acceptance or rejection of the questions was based
on the CVR and that if the CVR is equal to or greater than 0.75, the question would be accepted
unconditionally. Data analysis was done using the software 17 SPSS.
Results: Eight questions were deleted or revised, finally the mean CVI of the present study obtained 74% and
its CVR equivalent to 84%. It indicates the high validity of the questionnaire. Reliability of the designed
instrument was confirmed by internal reliability and assessors’ validity methods.
Conclusion: To assess and evaluate the performance of faculty members a reliable instrument must be used.
The questionnaire designed in this study is a useful instrument to achieve this goal.
