Developing a system for estimation rating of teachers based on qualimetric approach and ontology

Education reform taking place in Russia affected not only its educational levels and the studied subjects, but also teachers are required to be more relevant and intensify their activities. Evaluation of employees' performance helps to determine the effectiveness of a particular work realization, allows establishing compliance of indicators to the necessary requirements. The article proposes the combined use of the qualimetric approach and ontology for rating teachers. With this purpose we developed a Web application with a database on the MSSQL server used for collecting the information needed to figure out the rating and the integral evaluation of the quality of the teacher performance based on the values of indicators and weights. Then the database is converted into an ontology using FLUENT editor by means of the ANTLR software tool. Ontology, containing classes, attributes, and relations, allows one to perform various database queries. The proposed approach first combines the use of all mentioned software products, will allow more objective evaluation of the performance of the teacher in various aspects, encouraging to improve the productivity and increase the efficiency.
