Every semester, colleges and universities ask students to
complete innumerable course and teaching evaluation questionnaires
to evaluate the learning and teaching in courses they have taken.
For many universities it is a requirement that all courses be
evaluated every semester. The laudable rationale is that the
feedback provided will enable instructors to improve their teaching
and the curriculum, thus enhancing the quality of student
learning.
In spite of this there is little evidence that it does improve
the quality of teaching and learning. Ratings only improve if the
instruments and the presentation of results are sufficiently
diagnostic to identify potential improvements and there is
effective counselling. Evaluating Teaching and Learning explains
how evaluation can be more effective in enhancing the quality of
teaching and learning and introduces broader and more diverse forms
of evaluation.
This guide explains how to develop questionnaires and protocols
which are valid, reliabile and diagnostic. It also contains proven
instruments that have undergone appropriate testing procedures,
together with a substantial item bank. The book looks at the
specific national frameworks for the evaluation of teaching in use
in the USA, UK and Australia.
It caters for diverse methodologies, both quantitative and
qualitative and offers solutions that allow evaluation at a wide
range of levels: from classrooms to programmes to departments and
entire institutions. With detail on all aspects of the main
evaluation techniques and instruments, the authors show how
effective evaluation can make use of a variety of approaches and
combine them into an effective project.
With a companion website which has listings of the
questionnaires and item bank, this book will be of interest to
those concerned with organising and conducting evaluation in a
college, university, faculty or department. It will also appeal to
those engaged in the scholarship of teaching and learning.
