The evaluation of the quality of the University across a Structural Equations Modeling

The evaluation of quality of Course of Study is an important issue for the University to obtain the accreditation. Many statistical techniques are useful to this scope as multivariate analysis for the estimation of the assonance between latent variables. Sometimes the topic is the determination of the casual relationship between variables. For this reason we are interested to the modelistic approach: we want to develop a model that can represent the mechanism of the generation of effectiveness and efficiency in the Course of Study; for this scope we suggest to applied a Partial Least Squares Path Modeling (PLS-PM), that belongs to the family of Structural Equations Modeling (SEM); it gives the quantification of the relation between the latent concepts. This model allows to individuate the zone of the process of the quality criticism.
