Development and Implementation of Online Student Evaluation for Teachers (OSET): An Assessment Tool in Measuring the Faculty Teaching Performance

Abstract

Student evaluation for teachers is a way to assess the educators' teaching meth-ods, communication skills, subject mastery, and classroom management. It is deemed necessary to address areas needing improvement and to enhance the teaching quality of faculty members. The traditional paper-based evaluation pro-cess is time-consuming and cumbersome. It is also prone to human errors, which may compromise the accuracy and credibility of the results. Therefore, this study focuses on the development and implementation of an online student evaluation for teachers at a State University in the Philippines. Its aim is to streamline the collection, storage, and processing of students' feedback and to generate students' evaluation reports. The Rapid Application Development model was used to de-velop each module of the web system. The graphics were designed using Adobe Photoshop and Canva. The web system's functions and modules were developed using PHP, JavaScript, and CSS, while the database was created using MySQL. The developed system was integrated into the University's web student portal. Each function of the web system was thoroughly tested, and the initial results of alpha testing revealed promising results, suggesting continued implementation of the technology. The study proved that OSET is functional and capable of generat-ing real-time reports, which are crucial in improving teaching quality and foster-ing educational excellence.
