TRACKING THE DYNAMICS OF LECTURER RATING INDICATORS TO ENSURE THE QUALITY OF HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

The importance of the role of the lecturer in ensuring the quality of higher education cannot be denied. The system of internal quality assurance provides for the availability of developed and published criteria, rules, and procedures for the evaluation of academic and research staff, as well as their annual review by European standards, the Law of Ukraine "On Higher Education", recommendations of the National Agency for Higher Education Quality Assurance. Borys Grinchenko Kyiv University has developed a lecturer rating system "E-portfolio", one of the components of the information and educational environment, to form the qualitative composition of the scientific and pedagogical staff. To analyze the activities of the academic staff and all departments of Grinchenko University, several types of reports were presented in the "E-portfolio" system, which can be built according to such criteria as the main activities, rating points, structural units, positions, academic rank, degree, etc. For several years, only built-in statistics were used to analyze the activities of lecturers and units, but there was a need to monitor more detailed dynamics of all indicators. Modern business intelligence tools were analyzed for the development of visualization. It was decided to use the Power BI business intelligence tool, which will allow you to have a complete picture of the lecturer's performance by all the necessary criteria. The article presents an analytical report of Power BI based on the "Star Scheme" model. Thanks to the created "Measures" and standard functions of pivot tables, it became possible to visualize the input rating data and create details and filters for more convenient viewing and data analysis. After completing all the settings of visualization and filters, the report was published using the Power BI report server tool in the public domain. The use of this tool allows the top managers of the university to have a holistic picture of the results in the performance of employees and departments, as well as to determine the priorities of activities, to make fair decisions when extending contracts, which fully and unconditionally contributes to ensuring the quality of higher education.
