전문대학 교수 업적 평가의 현황과 개선방안에 관한 연구

Abstract

Two-year colleges are the essential supplier of skilled labor and hold central role in national human resources development. However, rapidly changing environments pose great challenge for colleges to hold traditional competitiveness in higher education market. This study assumes the quality of faculty as central to competitiveness and that the faculty evaluation system is critical factor of managing faculty quality. Based on this premises, this study attempted to analyse the current modus operandi of faculty evaluation system from 35 two-year colleges. Results of this study can be summarized as follows: first, diversity in faculty job performances are not properly reflected in the current faculty evaluation system. Second, the cornerstone of two-year colleges, namely the diversity across speciality and disciplines are not properly reflected in the current faculty evaluation system. Third, the current faculty evaluation system do not encourage long-term research with usual span of evaluation in under one year. Fourth, the current faculty evaluation system do not properly handle the greivances of evaluated faculty which could lead to serious disputes and lower credibility of evaluation system. Fifth, qualitative evaluations should be augmented by multiple evaluators so as to keep the reliability of the evaluation system. Finally, the data gathered from evaluation system need to be utilized for institutional development and strategic planning.
