How Should We Measure Teaching Effectiveness?
Student evaluations of teaching (SETs) are the most common tools for measuring instructor effectiveness. However, there is a large and growing literature documenting two of the major problems with SETs: Student evaluations of teaching demonstrate bias with respect to gender, race, and other factors unrelated to teaching and SET ratings don’t correlate strongly with student performance or student learning. These findings have motivated a national conversation about measurement of instructor effectiveness and the meaningfulness of statistical data collected from student evaluations.
This 20-Minute Mentor breaks down the topic of SETs into three parts. First, learn what studies have shown to be the problems with current SETs. Then, gain insights into why an effective solution for these problems is so important to faculty and your institution. Finally, receive actionable solutions and alternatives used from teaching and research institutions nationwide.
