Exploring the practical value of the Teacher Evaluation Questionnaire.
The use of anonymous student (course) evaluations to evaluate teacher functioning is popular in many universities (Becker & Watts, 1999), but whether student (course) evaluation scores and educational quality are related is open to fierce debate (Stroebe, 2016). Because of a desire for more feedback on their functioning, the Teacher Evaluation Questionnaire (TEQ) has been developed by psychology teachers at Utrecht University themselves to evaluate teacher performance. This instrument provides teachers insight in how their functioning is being perceived by their students and how they compare to other teachers based on evaluation scores. They may use its outcomes for discussion with colleagues and students and subsequently learn from this input. In addition, they provide the TEQ outcomes to their supervisors for the yearly A&D cycle.
My name is Pim Bruin and I'm a Psychology teacher at Utrecht university. I have a passion for education and Psychology and since 1,5 years I'm working on a research project about the Teacher Evaluation Questionnaire which is used to provide teachers with extensive feedback on how students perceive their functioning.
