An Analysis of Biases in the Teaching Assessment
Abstract
This presentation reports an analysis of the biases that influence the student teaching evaluation (STE) interpreted from a faculty developer's perspective. Does the amount of student workload influence teacher ratings as in Greenwald & Gilmore, (1997)? Are expectations on the impact of the evaluation influencing student participation as Caulfield (2007) argued? Are students more generous in the ratings as they become more specialized (Atkinson, 2001)? How can the method for delivering instruction bias teacher ratings (Lucal et al., 2003)? Once presenting the context of our institution (EPFL) as well as the teaching and evaluation practice; we shall address the audience in search for leads to achieve a critical analysis from the standpoint of the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning of the biases here presented.
