Qualitative Contribution Evaluation (Qce) : of The National Budget Circular (NBC) No. 461
The Qualitative Contribution Evaluation (QCE) of the National Budget Circular No. 461 practices of
the StateUniversities and Colleges (SUC’s) is an integral and effective component of total quality assurance
in public tertiary education. It is designed to make an effective motivator for the development of a culture of
excellence in: Instruction, Research, Extension, and Production. That QCE would make as an effective
reliable measure for faculty ranking among the public tertiary institution.
Qualitative Contribution Evaluation is a validating factor of CCE with two levels: First is QCE for
instructors, assistant Professors and associate Professors is focused on instructions/teaching effectiveness.
This however shall not prevent a faculty from having other functions. Second is QCE for full-fledged
Professor is focused to research, extension, and production on top of or in addition to instructional
functions.
Full-fledged Professors be rated on Instruction (50%) and mandatory on Research (50%) without
prejudice to having other functions.
This manual of operation will be helpful in the conduct of QCE to the school system in reference to
the objectives of it, as it is done in order to attain and achieve its very objectives towards quality and
excellence in education through the performance and competencies of the faculty in the public tertiary
institution.
Definition of Terms
The definitions of the technical terms presented are quoted from the implementing guidelines of
Quality Contribution Evaluation (Annex 1 and 2) of the NBC 461, signed by PASUC President Dr. Eldigario
D. Gonzales and CHED Chairman Dr. Carlito S. Puno (2006).
Areas of Evaluation. It refers to the four areas of concern of QCE such as Instruction, Research,
Extension, and Production; where the academic rank holder is evaluated.
Instruction. It refers to the teaching effectiveness and its delivery that eventually results in
academic excellence. Teaching effectiveness of faculty members is evaluated using the
assessment areas which are the commitment, knowledge of subject matter, teaching for
independent learning and management of learning.
Clientele Satisfaction. This is a strategic concept for the overall institutional image as the SUC
seeks continuous improvement toward excellence. It is based on the belief that the quality of education will
improve as the clientele (i.e. students, parents, community) assume more responsibility for the value of
education they draw from the institution. This demands constant sensitivity to clientele requirements and
measurements of the factors that drive clientele satisfaction. Equally, this demands awareness of the latest
developments in education and rapid response to the clientele requirements thereby improving both the
quality of education and the relationships with students, parents, and community.
Commitment. This refers to a faculty member’s deep sense of responsibility to render service for
the development of the student’s well-being and for the advancement of his/her discipline.
Common Criteria for Evaluation. The CCE is a set of factors of services and achievements which
establish the relative performance of a faculty in the state university or college for the period of evaluation.
This refers to a faculty member’s deep sense of responsibility to render service for the development of the
student’s well-being and for the advancement of his/her discipline.
Knowledge of Subject. This includes the faculty member’s scholarship and expertise in his/her
chosen field or discipline.
Leadership. Professors (including board members and administrators) must create clear and
visible quality values within the educational system. Reinforcement of these values and expectations
requires personal commitment and involvement. Professors in collaboration with administrators and
instructors or board members, must create strategies, system and methods for achieving educational
excellence. These systems and methods guide activities and decisions of the college or university and
encourage participation and creativity by all.
Management of Learning. This refers to the faculty member’s ability to create and manage a
conductive learning environment and at the same time guide, monitor, and evaluate student learning.
National Budget Circular (NBC 461). It sets the latest guidelines in the promotion and
standardization of salary of faculty and administrators at the SUCs and CHED – Supervised institutions
including TESDA (PADA 1998).
Partnership Development. The college or university should seek to build internal and external
partnerships that promote cooperation/collaboration serving mutual in larger community interests. These
should consider longer-term objectives as well as short-term needs, thereby creating a basis for mutual
investments. The building of partnerships should address means of regular communication, approaches to
evaluating progress, means of modifying objectives, and methods to accommodate changing conditions.
