A Model for Competency Assessment of the Faculty in Islamic Azad University

Today country success in economic, social, political, cultural tendencies etc. ... is approved to be the hostages and pawns of coherent and dynamic didactic system. The education and didactic programs for qualification improvement and dynamism need to quantitatively and qualitatively evaluation and scrutiny. Current study started with the goal of presenting faculty competency evaluation for the reason of qualitative improvement of Islamic Azad University. Research in terms of to the way of collecting and compiling the details descriptivesurvey and in terms of the goal and target type is so practical that by conducting general scrutiny in literature and subject history and past, we drawn the theoretical frame and conceptual model in this study. Nominee educational members’ opinions faculty members (self-assessment), supervisors (superiors), students of (clients) Fars province different Islamic Azad Universities are as the research society. In this research, with researcher evaluation in 24 active units in Fars province, approximately 125000 persons were examined. That sample volume was selected equal to 380 persons by using the clustered random sampling method (Krejcie and Morgan formulas). For collecting data, we used a researcher-made questionnaire whose validity was confirmed by the specialists and its stability was calculated by using the Cronbach’s alpha method equal to 0.84. Researcher-made questionnaire includes effective component in competency in five general axes for collecting the data. Then, with using 360-degree evaluation method, it was executed. For the data analysis, we used the descriptive statistic method and elicitation statistic (fact oral analysis, Wilcoxon and Friedman) and the results of the study are as follows: 1. drawing the model of competency evaluation of faculty (main dimension of evaluation indexes of faculty competencies), and 2. In the field of evaluation of the current situation from the dimensions and competence skill parameters, the ethical values, role, personal, and favorable statuses are evaluated. But in the performance and functional dimensions, and its subcomponents unfavorable status and lower than average level evaluated and the results of ranking of evaluation of dimensions of competencies of faculty in order to select the most priority is related to skill dimension, and the least priority is related to the functional and performance dimensions.


INTRODUCTION
According to society gradual conversion to knowledge base society, social request for know ledge and skills has increased.And universities throughout the world inevitable have spreads qualitatively and quantitatively.[1] With growing the importance of higher education (palpitate heart and society development motor) and its high development in societies and doing various apostolate, the more of the have reached the point that university means faculty .This work led to decrease the options level of faculty and also power of the faculty in the main operation of the university.[2] so faculty as a undertaking main educational pillar and effective in the higher education system operation and its targets substantiation counts.In the other hand, education system of every country by accompanishing with evaluation, research, examination processes can be able to protect and develop the performance and effectiveness and answerable to needs of labor market and accountable to labor market, and accountable to procedure of growth of economical, social , cultural pillars of society.Thus faculty evaluations is a way to increase the universities quality and societies progress and develop.
Evaluation is an aspect and of course important aspect of educational activities, and we can realize the shortcomings and strengths points of the educational plans and offer suitable solutions to solve the educational plan problems.[3] In this case teacher evaluation is a important strategy for education quality impove, attractive for the universities, for this reason, higher education centers determin some criterion for detecting the teacher competency and hereby and in this way, with a good process will evaluate the performance of them.Pundits have offered that for final augmentation, pay attention to different aspects of evaluation that the affair needs a general pattern.[4] Jirouk and coworkers have scurried the evaluation reliability and validity of teachers from students and got this result that students evaluation depends to teachers coaching ability and detectable teaching ability and detectable teaching skills.[5] It's necessary to have faculty competency model for hinting employment, instruction and evaluation in the universities, and can be framework for management in the basis of competency in organization for improvement.A competency evaluation pattern includes table of competency's that are prepared from looking at satisfactory performance for an special job.This pattern can detect the competency's that persons should develop for improving the performance in their current job and, or for promotion or transferring to the other jobs.This pattern also can, in skills fracture analysis, means compartment between available competency's and needed competency's, be profitable [6,7] Texts scrutiny shows that special evaluation model for faculty competency evaluation in the higher education system of Iran does not exist and the important benefits are as the follows: Level and size of vocational and personal competency in the higher education system can be determined prepress a framework to evaluate their performance quality.Prepress limits to employ new ones.[8] Basis for vocational and personal growth Can from strategically plans for general system and reference system (Islamic azad university and Iran higher education system) and huge system of country.
The role of higher education in country development is so important ( societies development motor).Main component of the universities is faculty.[9] The faculty competency levels have a lot of affections on higher education performance.Faculty competency's influence on learning level, progress, and satisfactory of the students according to qualitative problems of Iran higher education and cheap upper cases, the researcher likes to draw and illustrate the faculty evaluation model in the Islamic al in the country.[10] The data's of the model are useable for all zones of decision and in this way in the future we will see qualitative progress in the higher education system of Iran and the various problems decrease the wishing goal of this study, is to promote higher education quality in Iran by making the faculty competency evaluation model in the Islamic azad university. [11]

History
The most important done insider and out siders evaluations in the study subject are as the follows: Robert and colleagues (2009) believe that the teaching competencies of the members of the faculty are included with seven dimensions: to prepare favorable learning environment, to get involve the students actively, know ledge evaluation, students skill and view, easy access to the educational goals for the students, giving the feedback to the students, competency level awareness, self-teaching ability awareness, self-directed training and lifetime learning.[12] Vishan: six skill dimensions: vocational know (edge, planning for teaching and education, execution of educational strategies, resource and manpower management , student learning level evaluation, vocational responsibility are the important skills for effective teaching.[13] Patrice and smart believe that effectiveness of the faculty members in the classroom, includes various dimensions, that includes sole dimension like: to respect to the students, ability to challenge the students, mind stimulation of the students, lesson organization, speech skills, representation of reviewing the lectures.[14] Zachary smith gained the competency parameters from fact oral analysis .He refined in the basis of reviewing the texts, primary study, feedback from elites, questionnaire in this corrected competency model on the basis of empirical datas for higher education leader presented.cambro john in a study with the subject : worldwide view on educational goal , teaching and evaluation goal gain the results that world higher educational system going through quality of faculty member teaching .so it is required to make the mechanisms for evaluating the teaching quality in a standard mode.One of the important index of education evaluation is the faculty teaching quality.[17] Hojjati, z approved that evaluation of members of faculty for teaching quality has more importance because making professional forces for the future generation requires storng faculty in the universities which either in the education and their in research own knowledge, view , conversance.
Reputation and reliability of higher education institutes depend on reliability and performance of their faculties workers performance evaluation influences on efficiency level promotion.[18] Jebeli illustrated that effort and stimulus of professors and teachers of university, in the case that exist an index for comparing themselves to the other colleagues is better and more favorable.Whereas lack of these systems has resulted that there is no difference between performances of professors and their salaries and benefits.And at the result of that, the better performance stimulus decreases.[19] Human resources performance is the main pillar to protect and survive any organization.
Bazargan showed that universities as the organizations that have the goal to make professional and special human resource beside and next to producing science, more than any othe organization requires to evaluate their faculty members performance.Faculty evaluation results appearing the weakness and strength points and is the start to science development and achieving university goals.
Araste proved that a general system and a precise system of faculty members performance evaluation can have favorable various effects such as: education requirements determination human resources requirements, how to promote, sway and benefits determination of faculty members.[20, 21]

Study question
1. What are the main parameters of faculty competency evaluation model at Islamic azad university system? 2. How much are the parameters at current status of faculty of Islamic azad university?3. How much is the coordination degree of offered model in specialists opinion?

Statistic society, sample, method of sampling
Type of target of this study is practical, and how to collect the data is descriptive -evaluating .according to this subject that the goal of this subject that the goal of this study is practical scientific knowledge, the researches practical.[22,23] With paying attention to the goal of this study which is compiling a model for evaluating the faculty competency in first region (zone=number 1) of Islamic Azad university, the standardizing and compiling of these dimensions are at the local level.because the researcher uses 360 degree feedback evaluating method, the statistic society of the study forms by educational stakeholders opinions (faculty members (examed) , supervisors (group managers, educational assistants), students), students (clients) in various Fars state units of Islamic Azad universities that with primary researcher evaluations at 24 active units at Fars state it became approximately 125000 persons.In this study , korjesi and morganas formula is used to determine the sample volume and for primary evaluation, 380 persons is estimated.To select statistical samples, local random sampling method is used.Fist Fars state was divided to 5 zone, north, east, west, south and center and then between the related units of each zone selected the members of the wanted sampling society by using random sampling methods.[24] Following [Table 1] shows zones and sample size in selected units:

Data collecting tools (validity and reliability)
Researcher questionnaire is used to collect the data's, in this study so in the direction of the goals a questionnaire is marked and performed.and performed.If is required to mention that internet network is used to determine the faculty competency evaluations and dimensions, with considering the past studies and researches and professors opinion and specialists, and to search in databases. [25] And factors and parameters as a researche questionnaire is defined.For one by one of the parameters some index as s sub parameter is considered , total of indexes is 5 main dimensions at 110 secondary parameter validity of measurement tool is the othe important items in the method of research.Reliability of the measurement tool determined nominal by using item analyze. [26] For nominal validity we consulate with professors and specialists and brought their opinions in the questionnaire eleven professor and specialist confirmed and verified the validity of the tool containing.Furthermore, to assure from tool structure validity, after collecting the data's, we evaluated with fact oral analysis.The results gained from item analysis are in the 3.3 [Table 2].
We can see easily that all evaluation tool items of faculty competences in the organization is between 0.54 to 0.62 and at the meaningful level is 0.0001.
[27] And with the total grade of the faculty competences have positive relation and meaningful relation that illustrate high validity of these items.One of the important, subjects in t study method, is stability of the measurement tool.Measurement tool stability is a degree that gained result could be resulted from repeating measurements.In the other word, to use measurement tool in the same statuses and situations, the to evaluate the questionnaire reliability, kronbakh Alfa test is used.This test calculates the internal harmony in the questionnaire.At this method after using spss software, kronbakh Alfa test was calculated. [28] First 30 question naire was distributed between some persons of statistical society randomly.And at 2 week distance time and again the questionnaire was given to them.
And then after using kronbakh Alfa, reliability coordinate was calculated.The results of questionair test performing, showed that questionnaire questions have high kronbakh coordinate.The results relate to kronbakh Alfa test are in 4.3.[Table 3] This table shows that the questions in the question naire, were in the direction and subject of the study and had good containing

Data analysis
After making questionnaire's and collecting the answers, to analyze the gained datas we used the descriptive statistic methods like, abundance, abundance percent, abundance percent graph standard average, elicitation statistic (factor araliysis, Wilkinson and Friedman).Data analysis processes and statistical tests was done by spss 19 software. [29] Discussion and interpretation:

First study question
What are the main parameters of faculty competency evaluation at Islamic Azad university system?For answering above question, with scrutiny The subject literature and history and past, five main dimensions of competency with special approach of this study defined, its parameters by factor analysis test (bartlet test, know, subscriptions [Fig.1], component rotated matrix, factor naming) detected that indexes or its sub parameters as follows: The collected swabs were cultured on blood agar and Mac Conkey's agar [Fig.2].The agar plates were incubated at 37 0 cfor 24 hours.Gram staining was used to examine the morphology and staining reaction of the organisms.Biochemical evaluation included testing for catalase, coagulase, bile, oxidase, triple sugar iron, indole and citrate using standard prescribed protocols for identification and characterization of microorganisms.Methicillin resistance in Staphylococcus species were tested with the help of cefoxitin disc and oxacillin disk (Hi-MediaE Ltd, Mumbai, India) on Mueller Hinton agar by using Central Laboratory Standard Institutional (CLSI) guidelines.Antibiotic sensitivity testing was done by using Kirby Bauer's disc diffusion method as has been described in the CLSI guidelines 2011[6].•Ability to plan to get evolve students knowledge, skills, thinking processes.

RESULTS
In the case, compatibility of results in this study with last research results is compared As we mentioned, we detected five main dimensions for the faculty competency's that include parameters and sub parameters and like history and literature of the study, the results of same studies in the outside and inside of the boundaries of Iran in this field as follows: It's necessary to mention, the advantages of this study, are views and new vies to defining faculty competency's using 360 degree feedback , that are compeletly updated and suitable for current status of our country. [32] 1.In the first dimension case of faculty competency model that is performance: Seven parameters: planning , leading, organizing, monitoring, evaluation , consultation, researching by help of fact oral analysis are defined that after evaluating the history we realized that upper parameters in the researches of these men: graham chitham, wishan, Robert and colleagues, roohollahi and colleagues jahanian, salehi and rezvanfar, saeed khadmi, araste and mahmoudi . [33] 2. In the second dimension case of faculty competency model that is skill: Five parameter: perceptual, humanity, technical, problem solving , making goals is defined by fact oral analysis that with evaluating the history we realized that these parameters was brought in study of these men: sylviachung, akram abedian, jafary and colleagues khadiv Azde, gorji and siami.[34] 3.In the third dimensiaon case of faculty competency model that is ethical dimension: Five parameters: faith and belif , islamci behavior, onus, reinforcement of islamic educational enuironment, justice are defined by fact oral analysis that with evaluating the history we realized that theses parameters was brought in the studies of these men: w.brad jonson, hedayat jafari moradi and doliskani , chitsaz, movahed and colleagues , torkman nezhad and colleague .[35] 4. In the forth dimension case of faculty competency model that is duty and role: Five parameters: descriptive, information, communication, critic management and consultation are defined by fact oral analysis that with evaluation the history we realized that theseparameters 3was brought in the study of these men: Peter f, elivia, bright man and asefzade.
5. In the fifth dimension case of faculty competency model that is personnel sole: Five parameters: producing stimulus, creativity and inventing brilliance, self-management and compatibility are defined by fact oral analysis that with evaluation the history we realized that, these parameters was brought in the study of these men: Patric and smart , ramezan fatehi , jezni and colleague , ebrahim gharam and colleagues and hoseini and colleagues . [36] Second question of the research How much are the curent status of the parameters in the faculty of university?
In the evaluati8on of faculty competency at Fars state Islamic azad university units and evaluating the results of wilkakson test we understood that all dimensions of faculty sufficiencies were suitable and apropiate but performance and the average [Table 4].For grading the dimensions of competency and also groding the subparameters of competency dimensions we used freedman test that detected rusults as follows: In [Table 5] according to the above table the maximum priority belongs to skill dimension and the minimum priority belongs to performance dimension.(Annex paper)  Maximum priority : problem solving sub parameter minimum priority: goal making sub parameter: 3. The result of grading the ethical dimension sub parameter: [Table 7]  To answer to this study question, designed model associated with details, was given to eleven professors.
Nine professors verified the model and the others believed that, the other effective dimensions exist and should be considered.
Thus, according to these offers and suggestion, 90% percent of specialists verified the above model and its validity.
And it is a suitable tool for evaluating the faculty sufficiencies.

CONCLUSION
Today mankind society development has close relationship with outputs of higher education.One of the big challenges that today higher educaton systems hare, is quality and its promotion; improvement, guarantee.Every organization that can determine the quality and meseare it and reach it, has gained a competitional advantage and with this tool stables that organization.
According to international quality test network in higher education, quality is: evaluating higher education with a standards (indexes detected befor, b) duty, goals, respects.
For designing favorable higher education system in Iran, according to Iranian-Islamic civilization pattern they have tried to protect Islamic university values and ethics practicaly.
To achieve these goals with attention to Islamic Iranian back grounds, universities move to sufficient system like views of Islamic system leader.Meritocracy requires some scientific and political consideration that can summarize them to five indexes; sufficient upbringing , sufficient detecting, sufficient choosing , sufficient wanting, sufficient protecting and the first step for having meritocracy system is to define sefficiencies.
In this study researcher has tried to evaluate the faculty sufficiencies in a different way and also he tried to eraw and illustrate dimensions, parameters and indexes to prepare, improvement of quality and higher education progress.
According to the result from the study choosing and hiring sufficient faculty in the higher education system and specially in the Islamic azad university is so important and guarantee achieving and accessing to the organizations goals and targets.General model of competency evaluation can in the various parts of the country like government part quality increase and improvement and development of the organization.
Finding the updated indexes of faculty competency's evaluation are referring to updated models and using the results in the practical way, in fact, are the step toward above goals and targets according to the study, we offer to do these studies: 1 .Evaluate and determine the competence of faculty of the other academic regions.
2. Evaluate and compare faculty competence in iran with the other developed countries.
3. Preparing field, helps, financial helps and support in fundamental researches and practical studies related to competence development and the educational factors and items.4. Evaluate the needs and requirement of education at regional needed competence. 5. Evaluate all (the other) effective parameters on competences development [15] This model presents fire distinct and separate competency dimension: (HELC) 1. Analytical dimension 2. Communications 3. Affairs related to the student-dimension.4. Behavioral relationship dimension.5. External relationship dimension Analytical competency's w.brad.jonson (2003) presented triangular structure competency for teacher.This model includes three main components: 1. dntical / operational competency 2. Behavioral or personal competency 3. Cognitive/ knowledge competency 4. Ethical competency Miller (2006) believes types of competence are Necessary for university professors, as follows: A. Technical competence and ability.(science and skill in teaching lessen) B. Vocational competence and ability.(Plan awareness, educational and evaluation and presentation) c. [16] personal and sole competence (personal properties effective behavior in training and upbringing process)
