The Dominico-American University (UNICDA), through its Teaching Development Unit, has implemented an innovative Faculty Evaluation Program aimed at strengthening educational quality and promoting the professional development of its faculty. This comprehensive process is based on a 360° evaluation methodology, which provides a complete and objective view of teaching performance, covering various key dimensions.

360° Evaluation: A Comprehensive and Multi-perspective Approach

The program involves the entire university community, gathering perspectives from students, faculty (through self-evaluation), and academic program coordinators. This multi-perspective approach allows for the identification of both strengths and areas for improvement in teaching performance, ensuring a richer and more complete evaluation.

Evaluated Dimensions: A Comprehensive Approach

The evaluation focuses on multiple dimensions of teaching performance, including:

– Pedagogical and disciplinary knowledge.
– Management of teaching, learning, and curriculum content.
– Communication skills.
– Interpersonal relationships and development of values.
– Personal and professional commitment.

The Faculty Evaluation Program offers several benefits, including:

– Constructive feedback.
– Confidentiality.
– Improvement of teaching performance.
– Promotion of a culture of evaluation.
– Increased student satisfaction.

This program is another demonstration of UNICDA’s commitment to academic excellence and the comprehensive development of its faculty, resulting in high-quality teaching for all students.
