A fuzzy modeling approach to evaluate faculty performance

Abstract

Performance of a teacher is vital both for students and institution and must be measured and evaluated for positive reinforcement to teaching. This paper presents a mathematical model to evaluate faculty's teaching performance using fuzzy logic In this proposed evaluation the degree of satisfaction is defined in advance by experts with respect to levels of performance. Evaluator awards fuzzy marks into the fuzzy performance sheet according to each level of performance. From this, the degree of satisfaction of a subject topic is calculated and the result is calculated based on all the topics in the subject. The obtained results from the proposed approach are compared with the conventional non-fuzzy approach and the comparative results are presented.
