Classroom Observations Evaluating Teaching, Classroom Observations

Malcolm Gladwell in Most Likely to Succeed discusses “quarterback problem” Difficulty of predicting success in quarterbacks similar to predicting success in teaching “Test scores, graduate degrees, and certificates—as much as they appear related to teaching prowess—turn out to be as useful in predicting success as having a quarterback throw footballs into a bunch of garbage cans.”

Dee Fink “Evaluating Teaching: A New Approach to an Old Problem”

What Constitutes Exemplary Teaching? Intellectual Excitement Technical Expertise Organization Clarity of Communication Engaging Presentation. Interpersonal Rapport Interest in students as individuals Interest in students’ learning Receptive to students’ preferences about assignments and policies

Student Assessment Dr Evans – MC300 (Fundamentals of Engineering Mechanics and Design) Dr. Evans was a great instructor. He was always motivated, and always taught the lessons with enthusiasm. He made us think when we thought we did not know the answer. He cared about us and our learning all semester. Dr. Evans is the man. Great teacher, very enthusiastic. Helped during the 'gray period' Dr. Evans was a very good instructor. He cared about his students, was enthusiastic about the course material, and he really engaged students in the classroom. My learning was substantially influenced by his teaching method. The teacher's nerdy enthusiasm for the course and materials (pun intended). As a Civil major, it was nice having Dr. Evans explain the real world aspects to civil engineering of the simple concepts that we were learning..

Student Assessment

Research on Student Ratings PERCEPTION #1: Students lack the wisdom and experience to assess teaching effectiveness. REALITY: Student ratings correlate highly with ratings by: Faculty peers Administrators Alumni Graduating seniors

Research on Student Ratings PERCEPTION #2: Students who give an instructor low ratings today will come to appreciate that instructor in later years. REALITY: Student ratings are highly stable over time.

Research on Student Ratings PERCEPTION #3: Student ratings are just popularity contests. Easy graders get higher ratings. REALITY: Teachers who assign more work are rated as most effective. Teachers who assign more difficult work are rated as most effective. There is little or no correlation between grading practices and student ratings.

Research on Student Ratings PERCEPTION #4: There is no significant correlation between student ratings and student learning. REALITY: Teachers rated as most effective by students tend to be those whose students: Perform best on achievement tests Score higher on common exams Elect advanced courses in those same subjects Choose to major in those subjects

Research on Peer and Self-Ratings Peer ratings show poor internal consistency. Self-ratings correlate poorly with student ratings. Both can be improved substantially using: Structured procedure. Structured assessment instrument.
