Study Notes

Session 3: Overview

  • This session focuses on best practices for teaching, particularly evaluating a course and developing a teaching concept.

Learning Goals

  • Choose and structure the content of a course: Determine appropriate topics and their order.
  • Support learning with appropriate teaching strategies and methods: Select the most effective teaching tools to convey information.
  • Critically reflect on teaching and evaluate the course's success: Analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the teaching methods and course content.

Session 3A: Evaluate the Course

  • This section highlights various techniques for assessing course success, including student feedback, student outcomes, and self-reflection.

Kirkpatrick Evaluation Model – Students’ feedback

  • Level 1: Reaction: Focuses on students' initial responses to the teaching and learning materials.
  • Level 2: Learning: Evaluates the extent of student learning and skill development.
  • Level 3: Behavior: Examines whether students apply what they learned in real-world situations.
  • Level 4: Results: Assesses the benefits or impact of the teaching experience.

WHU Evaluation Questionnaire

  • This specific questionnaire provides an example of a tool used to gather student feedback.
  • Key questions included in the questionnaire are:
    • Overall rating of the course
    • Rating of the instructor's input
    • Rating of the course's structure and materials
    • Self-reported workload adequacy
    • Estimated time invested in the course.

Factors Impacting Students' Feedback

  • Instructor characteristics: Characteristics that influence student feedback, including gender, charisma, and age.
  • Student characteristics: Factors that impact student evaluation, such as prior interest in the subject, personal preferences, expectations, and age.

How to Deal with Critical Feedback

  • Train: Participate in professional development programs to enhance teaching skills.
  • Adapt: Adjust teaching strategies and course materials based on feedback to improve effectiveness.
  • Evaluate: Continuously assess the impact of changes made to the course.

Session 3B: Develop Your Teaching Concept

  • This section focuses on the creation of a teaching concept roadmap.

Session's Storyline

  • Students are instructed to create a visual representation of their session's storyline, including key topics, teaching methods, and connections between elements.

Feedback Process

  • Teams present their session storylines to "partner teams" for feedback on topic selection, structure, transitions, and method choices.
  • Feedback is recorded on Post-its and attached to flipcharts for reference.

Reflection

  • Students are encouraged to reflect on which aspects of planning their session were easy and which posed challenges.

  • Students are also prompted to develop relevant questions for online check-ins to address the remaining challenges.
