| Summary: | In the higher education, for the evaluation of education process it is of high interest to
use some numeric indicators obtained from the database with the final results realized by the
students on exams session. For this purpose could be used the following numeric indicators:
proportion of students absent on final evaluation, proportion of non-promoted students, normality
degree of passing marks distribution.
In order to do this we realized an Excel calculation program that could be applied to each
discipline. The inputs are concrete (students total, students present to final evaluation, marks
absolute frequency) and the outputs for the three indicators are binary (competent or noncompetent,
in the last situation the verdict being: “Give explanations. Propose an action plan, with
actions, responsible and terms”).
To verify the imposed normality degree we elaborate a calculation program based on
Kolmogorov-Smirnov concordance test. So, it was realized the increase of analyze objectivity and
it was created the opportunity to apply corrective measures in order to improve the education
process. |
