A two-part study used the Delphi technique to identify indicators that define educational quality and developed an instrument for measuring quality in an educational system. Thirty representatives from the following groups were chosen to participate in the Delphi survey: students, professors, administrators, Board of Regents members, state legislators, employers, and professional associations. In the first part of the study, participants identified and ranked seventeen major indicators according to their importance in contributing to educational quality. Subcategories, consisting of measures for each major indicator, were similarly ranked according to their importance in assessing that indicator. The study then developed an evaluation model incorporating the indicators previously identified. The model, based on a computational algorithm, involved the assignment of relative weights to selected criterion variables for a standard institution against which other institutions could then be assessed. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 41-11, Section: A, page: 4617. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1980.
