One of the effective factors on improving the quality of education is the assessment of lecturers. Using different
resources in evaluating the lecturer and giving him/her appropriate feedback will reveal his strengths and weaknesses.
The aim of this study was to determine the conformity between self-assessment results of lecturers and evaluation
results of other groups. This cross-sectional study was conducted in Alborz University of Medical Sciences in 2016. In
this study, using 43 questions in the form of 5 questionnaires, 120 faculty members were evaluated by students,
colleagues, faculty members and the dean of the faculty. For data analysis, Spearman correlation coefficient was used.
The correlation coefficient between the scores given to different questions by lecturers, students, colleagues, head
and dean of the faculty was very low and there was no agreement between the lecturer and other involvers in
response to different items. It seems that the lecturers participating in this study did not fully understand the students'
expectations, and they still had blind and unknown points regarding their own personality and behavior, which was
apparent from the viewpoint of colleagues and authorities. Some of these disagreements may be related to the lack of
lecturers' skills in conducting self-assessment. Therefore, in order to achieve the desired outcome, training all groups
involved in the assessment is essential.
