THE USE OF PARETO DIAGRAMS TO ANALYZE THE QUALITY OF TEACHING IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Professionals in the field of analysis of quality systems is widely known for the Pareto principle and the corresponding graphs showing the contribution of private reasons in the overall picture of the functioning of the system. Pareto chart and the associated cumulative Lorenz curve are used to illustrate the dominant alternatives in terms of their total number. The reason for the popularity of Pareto charts lies in the objectively obvious visibility of the apparatus when nagoricino the analysis of functioning of complex systems. The aim of this work was to determine the possibility of using Pareto analysis to identify the causes that affect the quality of the students in the learning process of knowledge. Students were asked to analyze their own learning with the use of Pareto charts the results of activities and causes. In the first stage, the students in the scoring books expected average score in all disciplines, included in the above blocks. The obtained information was used to build the Pareto chart of learning outcomes. In the second phase, the students formulated a list of the most probable reasons for low (or high enough) progress on the most problematic unit, previously identified and evaluated the significance of each reason on a 100-point system. Addressing the identified causes of failure the student can't and requires improvement of the curriculum, and improving logistical support of the educational process. Pareto analysis, successfully used industrialized countries in assessing the quality of products, efficient and at the analysis of quality performance as well as allows to reveal problem places of the educational process.
