This book is about using the Small Group Instructional Diagnosis
(SGID) method to make improvements to the educational experience
midcourse. The idea is to use this structured interview process to
involve students in helping faculty improve a course while they are
in it, potentially making a difference for themselves as well as
for future students. Faculty gain the opportunity to work on a
course before it ends, and can see what changes work without
waiting for the next time the course is offered, or the end of
semester student evaluations. SGID is a consultation method
developed to collect midsemester feedback from students using
structured small and large group conversations, involving four
conversations between students, a learned colleague the authors
refer to as the SGID consultant, and the instructor. First, student
talk with each other in small groups about the learning happening
in a course, under the guidance of a consultant (SGID Conversation
#1- Student & Students). Then the SGID consultant engages the
students in a conversation about how the feedback provided impacts
the learning in the course (SGID Conversation #2 - Students &
Consultant). Then there is a conversation between the consultant
and the instructor, where they discuss how the feedback provided by
the students can best inform the pedagogical approaches and
strategies used by the instructor (SGID Conversation #3 -
Consultant & Instructor). Finally, the instructor closes the
feedback loop with a conversation with their students about what
they learned and how best to move forward (SGID Conversation #4 -
Instructor & Students). These conversations during the middle
of the semester change the way students think about the teaching
and learning endeavor, the way instructors perceive the learning
challenges of their courses, and the quality of the institutional
academic culture. Most importantly, the SGID equips the instructor
with the knowledge to make midsemester course corrections that can
profoundly impact the ways students navigate the course,
communicate with the instructor, and realize the ways effective
teaching can enhance learning.
