Analyzing and Improving College Teaching: Here’s an IDEA! |
Best practices for using student course evaluations will be discussed. In this context, the use of the Individual Development and Educational Assessment (IDEA) student ratings of instruction at Illinois State University will be presented. The IDEA system has contributed to more valid teaching assessments resulting in more confidence in both summative and formative evaluations. The rationale for using this course evaluation system and an analysis of advantages and disadvantages of using IDEA will be discussed. |
