The Evaluation Result Based on the SURE Model: Case of Samarkand Branch of TUIT

This paper describes self-evaluation of several distance and e-Iearning courses of Samarkand branch of Tashkent University of Information Technologies (TUIT) in Uzbekistan. Teaching from distance and use of e-Iearning is one of key issue of the TUIT. Teaching learning from distance is the complex process which requires different kind of actors with own interests. The success of the distance and e-Iearning process depends on cooperation and collaboration of those actors. Therefore, e-Iearning needs to scientific evaluation method to measure success of teaching and learning. The evaluation process which describes in this paper is the first self-evaluation for distance and e-Iearning courses in the Samarkand branch of the TUIT. The structure-oriented evaluation (SURE) model is selected for basic evaluation model for this self-evaluation. The SURE model is originally developed for measure a success of e-Iearning. The data for evaluation is collected by volunteer- based contribution from students in cases of three selected courses. The collected data is processed by online tool of the SURE model. Final evaluation SURE score of the three courses were bigger than 0.80. However, this result has no comparison with other similar evaluation due to the lack of self-evaluation at the university. This confirms that self-evaluation of selected courses and further courses should continue in next studies.
