Outline of Final Research Achievements

Recent years, the system of collecting the data to enhance the university evaluation has become become widely used in the universities. However, the absence of the standardized indicator and evidence makes it difficult to prepare for the evaluation reports of accreditation in universities and accreditation agencies. Therefore, this study examines the indicators and evidences for evaluating the universities using the text-mining approach from the past evaluation reports. The process of the evaluation was visualized by the content analysis of evaluation reports and statistical analysis of the performance levels expressed in the evaluation reports. The checklist for setting indicators to enhance the self-assessment capability of universities was also developed.
