Performance Appraisal of an Educational Institute Using Data Mining Techniques

The proper implementation of a performance appraisal system in an educational institute could enhance the growth and development of its faculty members, which will positively reflect on the institution and education system as a whole. Improving the efficiency of institutes depends mainly on encouraging the skills and motivating to improve and upgrade the performance of teaching faculties. The main objective of this work is to improve the faculty performance so as to strengthen the department and the institute. Data are collected from the educational institutes about the faculty’s performance. A data set includes multiple sets of questionnaires for assessing the quality of faculty. Formative and Summative Assessment is taken into consideration along with grades assigned by the management for overall performance. Feedback is collected in the form of questionnaires for analyzing professional, research, and other traits of faculties. All the three parameters are given some weightages for analysis and yielding results. The proposed paper recommends performance appraisal of educational institutes using Data Mining Techniques.
