Purpose - The purpose of the study was to develop a reliable measurement tool for the evaluation of TQM application in Greek education settings and to examine the factors that determine quality of education. Research design, data, and methodology - A questionnaire commencing from the questions included in the Application Guide of Common Assessment Framework was used for research purposes. Each item was scored on a 5point Likert scale - to a sample of 112 educators (55 men, 57 women), all teachers working in public primary education schools. Factor analysis resulted in a questionnaire of 43 items consisting of five factors, teacher satisfaction, school management and operation, motivation, effectiveness of public school leadership and finance management. Results - Results revealed a positive correlation among all factors. Reliability results using Cronbach’s α was high (a=.961) for all factors of the questionnaire ranging from α=.930 (for motivation) to α=.797 (for financial management). Additionally, ICC procedure revealed high values for the above mentioned factors. Conclusions – The study resulted in the construction of a reliable questionnaire focused exclusively on TQM that can be used in future studies using larger samples in different areas so as to draw useful conclusions regarding TQM application in Greek education settings and further identify the factors determining quality in education

The objective of the study is to find out the faculty members’perspective of most and least preferred parameters affecting the quality of education in an affiliated undergraduate engineering institution in Haryana, India. It is a descriptive research. The data has been collected with the help of Questionnaire Based Survey. The sample size for the study is 110. The respondents are the faculty members teaching B. Tech who were selected randomly from the above said geographical area. For data analysis and conclusion of the results of the survey, statistical tool like factor analysis was performed in SPSS. The most preferred aspects of the institution by the faculty members are: a secured Wi-Fi facility is well channelized to provide easy access, library is well equipped, faculty can visit the library with ease whenever they find time, toilets for the faculty are hygienic and in adequate number, parking facility for the faculty vehicle is spacious, adequate Industry Institute Interaction for the faculty development etc. The least preferred aspects of the institution by the faculty members are: faculty / staff rooms are spacious, well furnished and adequate in number, and working relationships between the Head of Departments and their faculty members are synchronized

Purpose - This study examines students’ perspectives (stream-wise) of parameters affecting education quality in an affiliated undergraduate engineering institution in NCR, Haryana. Research design, data, and methodology - This study involves descriptive research and data collection using a structured questionnaire based on the Likert scale. The sample comprises 500 student respondents. For data analysis, an f-test was performed using high quality SPSS software. Results - For "Selection" and "Personality Development & Industry Exposure," the analysis of variance revealed a statistical difference between the mean values of the groups. Whereas, for "Academic Excellence," "Infrastructure," "Placements," and "Management & Administration," the analysis of variance revealed no statistical difference between the mean values of the groups. Conclusions - Students’ perceptions about the "Selection" and "Personality Development & Industry Exposure" change according to the various specializations they opt for in their undergraduate engineering education in Haryana. Whereas, for "Academic Excellence," "Infrastructure," "Placements," and "Management & Administration," the perceptions of the students do not vary because of the different specializations they have opted for in their undergraduate engineering education.

본 연구의 목적은 치위생 전공 학생들의 치과방사선 장비 및 물품의 질관리에 관한 지식수준을 파악하고, 방사선 질관리에 대한 이론 및 실습 교육정도를 조사하여 치과위생사 양성과정에서의 체계적인 방사선 질관리와 관련된 교육과정 개설 및 개편을 위해 필요한 기초자료를 제공하고자 한다. 연구의 목적을 달성하기 위해서 치위생 전공 학생 중 치과방사선 과목을 수강한 학생 453명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하였다. 분석 가능한 자료를 SPSS 12.0을 활용하여자료를 분석하였으며, 연구대상자의 변인별 특성을 알아보기 위해 빈도분석, 신뢰도분석, 카이제곱 검정, 독립 T-test,일원배치분산분석 후 사후검정으로 scheffe 방법을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 방사선 질관리에 대한 지식수준은 12점 만점 중 평균 7.71±1.7점으로 나타났으며 치과방사선 교과목 이수 시 이론수업과 실습수업을 받을수록, 지식수준이 높게 나타났다(p＜0.001). 둘째, 방사선 질관리에 대한 임상실습교육 수준은 13개 항목 중 1∼3개를 경험한 학생수가 가장 많은 것으로 나타났으며, 임상실습교육을 전혀 받지 않은 학생도 26.3%로 조사되어 방사선 질관리에 관한적절한 실습교육을 위탁교육기관에서 제공해야 할 필요성이 있었다. 셋째, 방사선 질관리에 대한 실습교육 13개 항목중 질관리 실습을 전혀 경험하지 못한 사람의 정답 문항 수는 평균 7.20개, 1∼3개 항목을 교육받은 사람의 정답 문항수는 평균 7.84개, 4∼5개 항목을 교육받은 사람의 정답 문항수는 평균 7.87개, 6개 이상 항목을 교육받은 사람의 정답 문항수는 8.14개로 나타났으며, 임상실습교육기간 중 질관리 관련 교육 경험수가 많을수록 지식수준이 높은 것으로나타났다.
