碩士 / 國立臺灣海洋大學 / 商船學系所 / 101 / The Ministry of Education proposed a number of excellence-oriented policies in recent years to enhance the quality of higher education, including the “Project of Top Universities and Research Centers in Five Years with Fifty Billion”, “Excellent University Teaching Reward Project” and the “Integration Project of Research Universities”, etc. In addition to the university evaluation mechanism which has been officially launched in colleges and universities, Article 21st of the "University Act" also expressly provides that "the university could create a teacher evaluation system to serve as important reference of promotion, reappointment, long-term employment, suspension, not reappointment and awards for the teaching staff.” The maritime colleges of our country also actively customize teacher evaluation methods, procedures and relevant regulations to facilitate a more comprehensive teacher evaluation system for Navigation and Marine Engineering Departments in Taiwan.
About the research methods, first we conducted revisions and identifications of indicators through literature reviews, and then we summarized four major dimensions and 13 evaluation indicators for the teacher evaluation of maritime colleges in Taiwan. By applying AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and the Export Choice 11.5 statistical software as tools for data analysis, we specifically calculated major dimensions and indicator weights from the research data, and teacher evaluation system of maritime colleges in Taiwan was thus completed by semi-structured interviews.
The study found that “teaching performance”, “research projects or industry-academic cooperation”, “publication works” and “counseling and service performance” are four major aspects affecting the current teacher evaluation system of maritime colleges. In this study, a total of 15 valid questionnaires were retrieved, and we summarized the main conclusions according to results and analysis of the research as follows: First, the most significant component in the first-level of teacher evaluation indicators of maritime colleges in Taiwan is “teaching performance”, which weights up to 48.9%; the second evaluation indicator is “counseling and service performance”, which weights 22%; the third evaluation indicator is “research projects or industry-university cooperation”, which weights 14.7%; and the final evaluation indicator is “publication works”, which weights 14.3%. Among the second-level indicators, the most significant component is “teaching materials”, which weights up to 20.7%; the most important component in the second indicators of “teaching performance” is “teaching materials”, which weights up to 52.7%; the most significant component in the second indicator of "Research projects and industry-university cooperation” is the “Industry-University cooperation program R &; D result technology licensing”, which weights up to 36.5%; the most significant component in the second indicator of “publication works” is the “academic works”, which weights up 55.9%; the most significant component in the second indicator of “counseling and service performance” is “mentors”, which weights up to 28.5%. Secondly, teacher evaluation for future development and characteristic of Navigation and Marine Engineering Departments is not applicable to the accreditation of general universities. It is advised that other featured evaluation indicators should be provided for the teacher evaluation of Navigation and Marine Engineering Departments.
Teacher evaluation system of Navigation and Marine Engineering Departments should reflect the characteristics of each college and department, as well as the rank of teacher, professional background or individual needs. It should be adjusted flexibly with appropriate requirements attached. Results of this study may be provided to educational administrative agencies, maritime institutions and teachers of Navigation and Marine Engineering Departments and be regarded as reference according to the indicators and weights.
