Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the relative efficiency of the teaching process (study) at the largest faculty in Serbia based on enveloped data (DEA analysis). The analysis was conducted in the 2013/14 academic year and includes 863 graduate students who have completed their studies in 13 academic programs. Input variables used in this analysis were the average secondary school grade and the number of scores earned on the entrance exam, while the output variables were the average grade achieved during the study and the length of study. Our approach integrates the DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) approach and the statistical analysis of variance with the aim of developing an expanded model for measuring the efficiency of the teaching process. Measurements of efficiency of higher education institutions will be presented using the DEA analysis in measuring the efficiency of each student individually and measuring the efficiency of students of specific study programs or faculties. Efficiency of studying which is measured for each student individually is over 70%, while the efficiency of study programs is over 85%. The efficiency of studying was measured on the example of a faculty consisting of 13 departments and 17 study programs of basic academic studies. As per the law there are no integrated universities in the Republic of Serbia but each faculty is a separate institution, each department of the Faculty of Technical Sciences can be considered a separate faculty, while the faculty itself can be considered a university. Thus, this analysis can describe the measurement of efficiency of the university.
