Abstract :Although it is relatively easy to ensure consistency within the team, it is very difficult to ensure consistency between teams and across years in accreditation assessments. In the study, an analysis was conducted based on the reports provided by evaluation teams to the Tourism Education Evaluation and Accreditation Board (TURAK) in Türkiye. A numeric rubric system—“1: Deficit, 2: Inadequate, 3: Acceptable, 4: Good, 5: Very good”—was used for fifty standards under nine dimensions. A written rule was established stating that the difference in scores should not exceed 2 for each item. The dimension average is calculated by summing the average scores of all items in the dimension and dividing by the number of items. A dataset was created using reports from the teams, covering the years 2021, 2022, and 2023. An analysis of the nine dimensions revealed that there were not any significant differences in team evaluations by year, university type, or evaluation type. This indicates that the teams made similar evaluations across years, universities, and evaluation types. In other words, this finding implies that consistency was achieved between teams across years, university type, and evaluation type.
