The aim of the study was to investigate themain factors of professionalism among faculty members from the viewpoints of various stakeholdersincluding learners, peers, and educational officials, as well as the components were assessed fromthe viewpoints of the stakeholders.MATERIALS AND METHODS: This was a descriptive analytical study conducted in two phases. Inthe first phase, a questionnaire was developed and validated to assess the professional behaviorof faculty members. In the second phase, the evaluation of the teachers’ professional behavior wasdone from the viewpoint of various stakeholders, including learners, middle and senior educationmanagers and peers. The participants were faculty members from 10 schools enrolled in the studyby census (n = 427). To extract the factors that constitute professional behavior in faculty members,exploratory factor analysis was used. Data were summarized using descriptive indices (mean,standard deviation, and percent). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to extract the factorsthat constitute professional behavior in faculty members. Data was analyzed by using SPSSsoftware (version 23.0).RESULTS: In the first phase, the questionnaire with 11 items was developed. The validity and reliabilityof the tool was confirmed. The mean (SD) of the faculty members’ scores was 4.54(±0.34), with aminimum score of 2.33 and a maximum score of 5.00. The highest scores of faculty members werereported in the items of “altruism to colleagues and students” and the lowest scores were relatedto “feedback seeking and feedback acceptance”. Professional behavior was categorized under twodomains: accountability to professional duties and adherence to professional values. Fifty percentof the participants followed the adherence to professional values (P = 0.22), but less than 50% ofthe individuals followed the adherence to professional duties significantly (P = 0.002).CONCLUSION: The results of the present study showed that adherence to professional duties was lowin faculty members. Assessment of individuals’ adherence in these two domains showed that facultymembers’ compliance in the domain of accountability to professional duties was significantly lower.

Read More BACKGROUND: Evaluation is one of the most important tools for determining the quality of anyeducational program, which can lead to reformation, revision, or termination of programs. Qualityin higher education requires assessment and judgment of goals and strategies, executive policies,operational processes, products, and outcomes. The Context, Input, Process, and Product (CIPP)model is a comprehensive perspective that attempts to provide information in order to make thebest decisions related to CIPP. Due to the importance of this topic, the present study examined theapplication of the CIPP model in the evaluation of medical education programs through a systematicreview.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this systematic review, Persian databases including ISC, SID, MagIran, CivilicaL, and Noormags and English databases including PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus,ProQuest Dissertations, Embase, CINAHL, ERIC, and Google Scholar were searched using relevantkeywords, such as evaluation, program evaluations, outcome and process assessment, educationalassessment, and educational measurements. The search was done with no time limits and 41papers were obtained until May 22, 2020. This systematic review was performed by following thedata extraction steps and assessing the quality of the studies and findings. Critical Appraisal SkillsPrograms and Mixed‑Methods Appraisal Tool checklists were used to check the quality of the papers.RESULTS: This systematic review was conducted on 41 studies, 40 of which were research papersand one was a review paper. From the perspective of the CIPP model of evaluation, most papersshowed quite a good level of evaluation of educational programs although some studies reportedpoor levels of evaluation. Moreover, factors such as modern teaching methods, faculty members,financial credits, educational content, facilities and equipment, managerial and supervisory process,graduates’ skills, produced knowledge, and teaching and learning activities were reported as thefactors that could influence the evaluation of educational programs.CONCLUSION: Due to the important role of evaluation in improvement of the quality of educationalprograms, policymakers in education should pay special attention to the evaluation of educationalprograms and removal of their barriers and problems. To promote the quality of educationalprograms, policymakers and officials are recommended to make use of the CIPP model of evaluationas a systemic approach that can be used to evaluate all stages of an educational program fromdevelopment to implementation.

A narrative literature review and interview with eight professors and tenstudents conducted to determine attributes and levels of evaluation methods in the university. Furthermore,experimental design used for making final choice sets of the evaluation methods. We included 213students and 30 professors in the study. Conditional logistic regression model performed to data analysis.RESULTS: Most of the professors (36.67%) preferred to allocate up to 30% of evolution scores tomidterm examination. However, the most percentage of students (30.45%) were agree to includemidterm examination up to 15% of total scores. The majority of students prefer to examinationquestions compromise just presented materials, while 70% of professors prefer to include additionaltexts for evaluation examinations. In case of quiz examination, professors in comparison with studentsprefer that quiz should have higher proportion of total scores. DCE analysis indicated that professorsand students preferred a mix of questions in examinations. In addition, additional resources beyondwhat is taught in class made utility for professors and disutility for students. Quiz, also, increasedthe utility of an evaluation package in professors.CONCLUSION: The findings showed that there is a gap between preferences of professors andstudents regarding some attributes of evaluation methods such as student’s discipline, examinationmaterials, and quiz. Further studies are needed to examining other attributes of evaluation methodsin theatrical and practical courses in Iran and other contexts.

Read More INTRODUCTION: Given the importance of feedback to improve teachers’ educational performance,the current study aimed to identify the challenges and problems involved in providing feedback toclinical teachers on their educational performance.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the first phase of this mixed‑methods study, the clinical teachers,students, and university officials were interviewed on feedback problems and challenges. Afteran inductive content analysis, and based on the problems enlisted, a ten‑item questionnaire wasdeveloped. Subsequently, 25 clinical teachers completed the questionnaire by scoring the importanceand urgency of each problem.RESULTS: Overall, 18 individual and group interviews were conducted with 24 people. A totalof ten themes and five categories emerged, including “lack of transparency of feedback system,”“absence of criticizability culture,” “lack of motivation to improve performance,” “failure to considerfactors affecting teacher’s performance,” “lack of formative evaluation,” “inappropriate data obtainedon teacher’s performance,” “inappropriate feedback providers,” “inappropriate feedback recipients,”“inappropriate feedback provision,” and “no feedback follow‑up.” Three items of priority involved“inappropriate feedback providers,” “inappropriate data,” and “failure to consider factors affectingthe teacher’s performance.”CONCLUSIONS: All the raised problems obtained high scores; nevertheless, the interviewees hadmore problems with the feedback provider, the data collected on the performance, and inattentionof university officials to the factors influencing performance than feedback presentation methods.Hence, gaining the trust of teachers on the collected data, providing feedback by their trustworthyindividuals, and paying attention to the factors influencing teachers' performance are associated withan increased possibility of feedback acceptance.

Read More Introduction: University teachers are one of the main pillars of university and the quality of theirperformance must continuously and systematically be evaluated. This evaluation can be carriedout in various ways. The aim of the present study was to survey and to compare the evaluationof faculty members in the medical school in Birjand University of Medical Sciences by threedifferent sources: Student rating, self‑assessment, and evaluation by head of related department.Materials and Methods: This descriptive analytical cross‑sectional study was conducted in theacademic year 2009‑2010. Sampling was drawn from all students studying basic science andclinical training in the first and the second semesters. All heads of departments in basic scienceand clinical training and their faculty members took part in this study. Means of data collectionwere four different questionnaires designed in the education development center (EDC) and theirvalidity and reliability had been verified by the center. These questionnaires were based on studentrating, self‑assessment, and evaluation of faculty members by heads of clinical and basic sciencesacademic departments. After the questionnaires were filled out, the obtained data was analyzedby Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software (version 13), independent t‑test,and Pearson’s correlation coefficient at the significant level of  = 0.05. Results: In the presentstudy, 2417 students completed the questionnaires regarding 63 faculty members, 87 facultymembers completed the self‑assessment form, and for 60 faculty members, 48 members in clinicaland 12 members in basic science, the questionnaires were completed by heads of respectivedepartments. Mean and standard deviation of student evaluation, self‑assessment, and teachersevaluation by heads of departments were 3.23 ± 0.38, 3.51 ± 0.33, and 3.60 ± 0.32, respectively,and the difference between student rating andself‑assessment was significant (P = 0.02). Incomparing between managers scores withstudents evaluation, no significant differencewas observed (P = 0.68). Comparisonbetween self‑assessment and teachersscores by managers showed a significantdifference (P = 0.04). Mean scores of facultymembers in clinical training and in basicscience were 3.23 ± 0.73 and 3.31 ± 0.69on the part of students, respectively; thus,the difference was significant (P = 0.004).Conclusion: Since, the present study wasinconsistent with similar previously carried out investigations, the observed difference amongthe three procedures was statically significant; hence, it can be suggested that student’s scoresof teachers evaluation, previously used as the only one of evaluation source is not enough andother sources such as assessment by the respective department heads, dean of faculty, andself‑assessment must also be taken into consideration. This collection can definitely yield a morefavorable evaluation of faculty members and feedback can be more acceptable to them and itwill be more effective in improving their education.

Thisintervening study aimed to evaluate the effect of educational program for puberty healthon improving intermediate and high school female students’ knowledge in Birjand, Iran.Materials and Methods: In this quasi‑experimental study, 325 female intermediate and highschool students were selected through randomized cluster sampling during several stages.Then, researcher‑made questionnaire including 20 questions, each having one point regardingpuberty health, was distributed. After completion of the questionnaires were gathered. Followingthis, under a systemic educational plan all intermediate and high school selected students weregiven the same instruction by trained instructors. Instruction time for each meeting was estimated1.5 hours. One month after the educational program and handing out the pamphlets in schools,the previous questionnaires were again distributed among the students to fill out. At the end,302 students who had filled out the questionnaires before and after intervention were studied.Results: Out of 302 students, 151 were intermediate and 151 high school students. Knowledgelevel among intermediate students was 5.03 ± 3.7 before intervention and was 10.8 ± 4.8 afterintervention. Among high school students, the scores were 4.1±2.3 and 8.7±3.8, respectively. Therewas a significant difference between pre and post intervention stages in both groups (P < 0.001).Furthermore, mean knowledge grade in all the students increased from 4.6 ± 3.1 before interventionto 9.7 ± 4.4 after intervention (P < 0.001). Conclusion: Performing educational programs duringpuberty has a crucial role in young girls’ knowledge increase. Since young girls often do not sharetheir problems with their parents and their peers during the period, instructional classes in schoolsprovide a good opportunity for them to present their problems and finding solutions.
