2. Outline Background Research methodology -Objectives -Process -Methods -Data preparation -Data analysis -Results & conclusion

3. Background Suranaree University of Technology (SUT) is the first public autonomous university. SUT has unique identity in teaching and learning system. – trimester system. – sharing educational resources. Laboratory Classroom building complex: class size 60- 1,500 students Center of library and educational media Center of computer services

4. Background (Cont.) – SUT organizes the system of student assessment towards satisfaction on teaching – The results of teaching assessment are reported confidentially to each teacher and Dean for improvement – The meeting as university mission in every trimester is to overview and discuss the results of teaching assessment aiming to development of teaching and related issues – This study is a section of this report

5. Objectives Study the relation of selected factors which affect the teaching quality. – Four Selected Factors : Academic position Working years Work status Class sizes

6. Methods Evaluation forms using 4 point scales Data gathering at the end of each trimester Data for analysis collected from 2 nd trimester (1,682 records)

7. Data preparation

11. Data analysis Academic position Work years Work status Class sizes Theory Practices Seminar/ Project Upper scores Middle scores Lower scores Raw scores Chi-square One way ANOVA t-test

12. Results Relation of Academic position and types of teaching : Chi-square = 53.71, df = 8, p-value = 0.000* Chi-square = 53.71, df = 8, p-value = 0.000*

20. Conclusion Four selected factors affected the teaching quality : – Academic position and theory and practical sessions All Instructor (Prof., Assoc.Prof., Assist.Prof. and Instructor) got higher scores than other instructor – Work status and practical session Full-time instructors got higher scores than part-time instructors – Class size and theory sessions Class of 1-60 and 61-150 students got higher scores than of 151-300 and 301 students ups – Number of work years did not affect the teaching quality.
