Teaching staff performance assessment are vital for career progress and mentoring. Faculties at University of Kufaevaluate the performance of their academic staff on a yearly basis by Head of Department and the Students.The evaluation instrument are two different forms that contains set of questionnaires, one is usually completed by Head of Department (HE) and other by the students (S). It is therefore the main aim of this research is to assess the association between HE and SE.
The data was collected for 24 teaching staff from Department of Quality and Performance at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science by means of questionnaires. The problem is that the form that is completed by student are not measuring what is suppose to measure. It is therefore new version of questionnaires are designed and the students asked to complete both version in order to compare them. The results shows the staffs grades as a result of HE are much higher than grades result from theSE, and that new version of questionnaires are more reliable than the old version.
