1 Kazakhstan Institute of Management, Economics and Strategic Research Teaching quality KIMEP-wide Faculty Teaching Evaluation Survey, 2011 REPORT Department of Quality Assurance and Institutional Research KIMEP, 2011

2 MANAGEMENT SUMMARY Regular FTES * 2011 was conducted during April following the standard format: online mode, voluntary approach, standard 15-item instrument. Teaching quality assessment Teaching quality at KIMEP is assessed by students with 4.37 points out of the maximum Assessments of academic units vary in ranges 7 (LC) (BCB). Assessing the various aspects of teaching process, students most frequently express the agreement ( strongly agree and agree ) with positive statements of questionnaire % of cases. Preparedness for classes, Ability to spend time on relevant issues and Clarity of course requirements are identified as the most strong aspects of teaching process: 2, 4.44 and 4.43 correspondingly. These are the traditional points of students appreciation since Faculty s ability to stimulate interest in the subject, Relevance of session materials to local environment and Helpfulness of texts and other materials are appreciated relatively less: 4.22; 4.39 and 4.37 accordingly, which is also traditional trend of assessment since Students willingness to recommend the courses and faculty members to friends is expressed with grades 4.34 and Teaching quality dynamics during KIMEP-wide: Overall level of students satisfaction has risen from 4.27 in 2007 to 4.37 in 2011 with the period of stagnation from 2008 till 2010 (~ ). Strengths and weaknesses of teaching quality, traditionally identified by students during the observed period, completely coincide with those indicated in the current semester. By separate departments/areas: LC and PS&IR demonstrate steady growth trajectories of teaching quality assessment with peak results in 2011 Econ, Fin, MM and PA face changeable growth of teaching evaluations with peak results in 2008 or 2009; their 2011 grades are higher than 2007 ones OMIS, SGE and SL grades peaked in 2010 and have since remained at the same level or slowly declined Acc and Journ underwent several increases and decreases of student satisfaction; their 2011 grades are lower than 2007 ones. By academic ranks of faculty members: Professorial courses, mostly evaluated by senior undergraduates and masters, reflect the continuous improvement of teaching quality. Lecturers courses, assessed mostly by undergraduates, receive evaluations that form a changeable growth trajectory (total amplitude = 0.15). Scores fluctuation could reflect the changes in faculty composition, list of courses offered as well as respondents subjectivity due to their age and attitude. Instructors are mostly evaluated by freshmen, taking LC and SGE courses. Their grades follow a changeable trajectory (total amplitude = 0.27). Taking into consideration the relative stability of LC and SGE curriculum and faculty composition, the changeable assessment could be mostly attributed to subjectivity of respondents opinion due to the lack of learning experience at KIMEP. Resume Analysis of teaching quality dynamics during the last four years allows suggesting the following ways to further improve KIMEP academic services to students: - identifying the reasons of decline in KIMEP s strongest teaching quality faculty preparedness for classes - providing faculty members with professional development opportunities in the sphere of teaching methods and student psychology - continuing work on improving the teaching materials with regard to general helpfulness and applicability to Kazakhstani environment - clarifying the reasons that cause fluctuations in student satisfaction with the teaching process in separate departments/areas. * Please, kindly consider the list of abbreviations on the next page.

5 Report on KIMEP Faculty Teaching Evaluation Survey, 2011 Background Purpose. FTES is conducted on semestrial basis to measure the quality of teaching at the Institute s level by retrieving students opinion on the instructional effectiveness, quality of teaching and learning experience for every subject they are enrolled. Technique. Standard approach: voluntary, online mode, 3-section instrument approved in 2007 (att. 1). Questionnaire access links at KIMEP website: Summer 1 registration page, main page banner, U-mail, and L-drive. The survey schedule (April 11 24) avoids interference with final exams session. To cover intensive courses of LC and SGE, an additional survey is conducted on February 16 22, The information campaign employs regular channels: banners, posters, s, LCD presentations, website announcements, class announcements by KSA members, and info items in social networks. Also, this semester students of Introduction to PR course have produced survey promo video with participation of the key figures of the Institute s community: VPAA, faculty members and KSA. This input is made under the guidance of Dr. Kozhamkulova in cooperation with QAIR team. Data treatment. The CISC renders technical support in data gathering and treatment. Student inputs are stored in SQL server to be further processed and used for analysis. Results presentation. The results were made accessible to faculty and academic management via Intranet upon the submission of all final grades to the Registrar s Office by faculty members (May 20, 2011). Since 2010, Intranet reports include total quality indexes calculated as a product of the average faculty grade (quality index 1 ) and share of student registrations (quantity index 2 ). Survey results Response statistics The KIMEP-wide response rate comprises 30.58% of total number of student/course registrations: out of The response rates by units lie between ~25% (SL) and ~32% (LC and BCB; table A). Table A. Response rate: KIMEP-wide and by units Units BCB CSS Econ Journ PS&IR PA LC SGE SL KIMEP Data # of student registrations # of student responses Response rate out of student registrations, % In general, the distribution of responses by units reflects the composition of the enrolled student body. Thus, the answers of BCB students present the majority of responses (~47%), followed by students of SGE and CSS courses (~28% and ~14% accordingly; graph 1). Among the evaluations of CSS courses, the courses of PA respondents are prevailing (~35%; graph 2). Units results overview The KIMEP overall assessment comprises 4.37 points out of 5.00 (share of answer strongly agree with questionnaire s positive statements comprises ~64% of all answers). Overall grades of different units also show relatively high satisfaction level: 4.32 (BCB) - 7 (LC; graphs 3-4). In general, students evaluate Faculty, Class sessions and Course (3 instrument s sections) with high grades: 4.36, 4.41 and 4.39 out of 5.00 accordingly. Across the units, LC is evaluated with maximum grades (7-4.6), and BCB with relative minimums ( ; graph 5). 1 Quality index - weighed average calculated according to standard formula. 2 Quantity index the ratio of student registrations in all courses of a faculty member to the total number of student registrations in corresponding academic unit.

6 Report on KIMEP Faculty Teaching Evaluation Survey, 2011 By separate aspects of teaching process, respondents identify the following stronger and weaker points (graphs 6-8): Faculty s preparedness for each class (Q1), their ability to spend time on relevant issues (Q10) and the clarity of course requirements from the start of semester (Q11) are assessed with higher grades. Faculty ability to stimulate interest in subject (Q3), relevance of session materials to local environment (Q9) and helpfulness of texts and other course materials (Q12) are evaluated with relatively lower scores. The above trend (most and least appreciated items) has been continuously reflected in FTES results since the latest changes in survey instrument ( 2007). Following exceptions are presented by 2011 LC and SL students: in their opinion, the clarity of session objectives compared with the relevance of session materials is the weaker aspect (Qs 8-9). Also, LC students consider helpfulness of texts/materials as the strong point, and assignments contribution to learning as the weak one (Qs12-13; graphs 6-8). Generally, the students are willing to recommend KIMEP courses and faculty (Qs 14-15): 4.34 and 4.31 correspondingly. By units, they mostly recommend the courses and faculty of LC and SL. Courses of SGE and faculty of BCB are recommended the least (graph 10). CSS results overview by departments Within the CSS, PS&IR department was evaluated most highly (4.61), while Econ department got the lowest assessment (4.31; graph 3). By accessing the Faculty, Class session and Course, CSS students mostly follow the KIMEP-wide trends. Few exceptions are presented by evaluations of Journ and PS&IR departments (graph 11): Journ students highly appreciate ability of faculty members to encourage questions and class participation (Q4) and relevance of session materials to local environment (Q9). They are least satisfied with class sessions being spent on relevant issues (Q10) and assignments contribution to learning (Q13). PS&IR respondents are most satisfied with assignments contribution to learning (Q13) and least with faculty s ability to provide helpful feedback on assignments (Q6). Graph 1.

Results KIMEP-wide overall satisfaction with teaching quality has increased from 4.27 in 2007 to 4.37 in 2011 with the period of stagnation ( ), with grades within ranges (graph 12). Rise in evaluation is observed with regard to all aspects of teaching process, except for faculty s preparedness for classes (Q1): it dropped by 0.13 points in 2008 and, despite following increases, hasn t yet reached the level of 2007 (graph 13). During the analyzed period, same strengths and weaknesses have been continuously identified by students (graphs 13): - Faculty s preparedness for classes, Class time spent on relevant issues, and Clarity of course requirements form the stable quality pillars. - Faculty s ability to stimulate interest, Relevance of session materials to local environment, and Helpfulness of textbooks/course materials are the traditional areas of lower satisfaction. By departments/areas The analysis of 8-semeters evaluations of teaching by separate departments/areas allow distinguishing four types of quality dynamics (graphs 14-17): - Steady growth LC and PS&IR: by 2011 grades reached the highest levels since Growth trajectories are relatively smooth with no significant decreases. - Changeable growth Econ, Fin, MM and PA: 2011 grades are higher than 2007 ones. The peak performance is demonstrated in 2008 or Department of Quality Assurance and Institutional Research 7

10 Report on KIMEP Faculty Teaching Evaluation Survey, Stalled growth OMIS, SGE and SL: grades reached the peak by 2010 and since then have remained at the same level (SL) or slowly declined (OMIS, SGE). - Lowering evaluations Acc and Journ: by 2011 grades became lower than in During the period there were several noticeable fluctuations of students satisfaction. By academic ranks of faculty members Overview of teaching quality dynamics by separate ranks faculty professors, lecturers and instructors shows some rank-specific peculiarities (graph 18) 1. Professorial courses are mostly evaluated by senior undergraduates and masters. Students satisfaction with their performance has been steadily increasing during the 8 semesters (total amplitude = 0.28) grades are higher than 2007 ones (+0.27 points). This may reflect the continuous improvement of teaching quality. Lecturers courses, assessed mostly by undergraduates (freshmen to seniors), receive evaluations that form a changeable growth trajectory (total amplitude = 0.15). The peak grades were assigned between s and the bottom ones - between grades are close to 2007 ones (+0.01 points). Scores fluctuation could be the result of changes in faculty composition, list of courses offered and, to some degree, respondents subjectivity due to their age and attitude. Instructors are mostly evaluated by freshmen, taking LC and SGE courses. Similar to lecturers evaluations, their grades follow a changeable trajectory (total amplitude = 0.27). The highest results were achieved in AY and the lowest ones in AY grades are close to 2007 ones (+0.01 points). Taking into consideration the relative stability of LC and SGE curriculum and faculty composition, the changeable assessment could be mostly attributed to subjectivity of respondents opinion due to the lack of learning experience at KIMEP. In terms of strongest and weakest items of teaching performance, the evaluations of all ranks faculty are very close to the common KIMEP-wide trends mentioned earlier (p. 7; graphs 19-21). The distinctive features of each rank s evaluation are presented below. Professorial faculty (graph 19) - Faculty : gap between professors preparedness for classes (Q1) and their ability to stimulate students interest in the subject (Q3) has almost twice narrowed: from 0.69 points in 2007 to 0.32 points in Provision of helpful feedback on assignments (Q6) and clarity of explanation (Q2) are consistently indicated as the relatively weak qualities. - Class sessions : during the period, students appreciation for the least satisfactory item - relevance of materials to local environment (Q9) - has grown the most (0.32 points) compared to the rest of items. - Course : each semester respondents assess the helpfulness of study materials (Q12) and assignments contribution to learning (Q13) very closely (difference <=0.04 points). - Summary questions : gap between willingness to recommend courses (Q14) and faculty members (Q15) has gradually narrowed from in AY to 0.02 in AY Lecturers (graph 20) - Faculty : student satisfaction with preparedness for classes (Q1) has declined by 0.13 points from 2007 to Clarity of explanation (Q2), appreciated by students in AYs , has turned into one of the least satisfactory items in AYs Class sessions : students evaluation has risen with regard to relevance of materials to local environment (Q9; overall points), while assessment of the rest of section s aspects has decreased. - Course : the grade assigned to clarity of course requirements (Q11) lowered by 0.04 points from 2007 to 2011, while the scores of two other aspects have grown. 1 Calculation of ranks results was based on corresponding Faculty lists and excluded the courses taught by more than one faculty member. Department of Quality Assurance and Institutional Research 8

11 Report on KIMEP Faculty Teaching Evaluation Survey, Summary questions : in 2007 students were more willing to recommend faculty members (Q15) than courses (Q14). In the rest of the period, courses (Q14) are more strongly recommended than faculty members (Q15). Instructors (graph 21) - Faculty : over the period, evaluations declined with regard to two items - instructors preparedness for classes (Q1) and the clarity of explanation (Q2). Faculty accessibility outside the class (Q7) has increased the most (0.12 points). - Class sessions : appreciation for relevance of materials to local environment (Q9) has grown by 0.10 points satisfaction with other aspects is close to the 2007 level (±0.01 points). - Course : while evaluations of all aspects changed significantly within the observed period (both up and down), by the end of it they have almost returned to the 2007 level. - Summary questions : students willingness to recommend courses (Q14) and faculty members (Q15) at the end of discussed period was lower than at its beginning (by 0.09 and 0.07 points accordingly). Resume Analysis of teaching quality dynamics during the last four years allows suggesting the following ways to further improve KIMEP academic services to students: - identifying the reasons of decline in KIMEP s strongest teaching quality faculty preparedness for classes - providing faculty members with professional development opportunities in the sphere of teaching methods and student psychology - continuing work on improving the teaching materials with regard to general helpfulness and applicability to Kazakhstani environment - clarifying the reasons that cause fluctuations in student satisfaction with the teaching process in separate departments/areas.
