[[alternative]]A STUDY ON OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE OF THE PRIVATE UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES IN TAIWAN

[[abstract]] 本研究分別探討國內外教育評鑑制度的實施概況，進而尋求影響教育評鑑項目之顯著因子，以「大學校務評鑑規劃與實施計畫」中的29所私立大學為樣本，依設校之成立時間與各校設立學系之性質相近者區分為文法商、自然工程及新設或改制等三類，運用資料包絡分析法(Data Envelopment Analysis, DEA)，分別以CCR模式及BCC模式評估各私立大學院校之整體績效與改善幅度，進一步透過迴歸分析，探討現行大學校務評鑑項目對私立大學院校經營績效的影響程度，實證結果如下： 1.就整體效率的估計值而言，三大類組並無明顯差異，未達相對無效率原因，乃是在資源的使用上較無效率所致。 2.藉由差額變數分析以檢定各私立大學院校應調整改善之方向及具體說明其投入產出項應改進幅度約有30%以上。 3.影響各私立大學院校經營績效之因素，主要還是來自改善師資結構與學校教學資源設施軟、硬體之投入，其結果與教育評鑑重點一致。[[abstract]] This research focuses on the evaluation of educational performance in Taiwan. To analyze the important factors which might impact the items of the evaluation, we take 29 private universities from “The Planning and Administration Plan of Evaluation on University Administration” as samples, divide into three groups: Arts, Law and Business 、Natural Science and Engineering 、New or Changed Educational System according to the time schools were established and the similar characters of schools’ departments, and apply Data Envelopment Analysis to examine their operation performance and improvement range. Moreover, we use the Regression Analysis to distinguish the effect factors of the university’s operation performance. The conclusions can be summarized as follows： 1. The estimate of the total efficiency shows no significant difference among the three groups. The reason of not achieving the relative effectiveness is because of the unefficiency on resources usages; 2. The slack variable analysis to test private universities’ goals which have to improve and adjust. And clearly explain the improvement above 30% range of input-output; 3. The factors of influencing the the university’s operation performance mainly come from the improvement of the teaching facilities and the input of schools’ resources such as hardware and software. The result is same as the Evaluation of Education
