Due: Midnight, Wednesday, May 10.
Please comment on the Student Teaching Evaluation form that you have
been using in class to evaluate your peers.
Currently the form consists of 4 sections:
Organization (Clear learning goals; continuity of learning experience;
timing)
Student-centered (Builds on prior knowledge; Active engagement)
Material (Appropriate Level; Relevant to Learning Goals)
Delivery
We would like you to comment on the overall design and function of the form, and also on specific items.
Please post your reflections to the
E-post threaded listserv.
Whenever relevant, please contribute to an existing thread on the subject.
Some questions to address:
Did it usefully guide you through your design of a learning experience?
Where was it especially relevant or irrelevant? Explain.
Are the evaluation criteria useful to you in evaluating your peers? Where
is it especially useful and where is it especially not useful? Explain.
Suggestions for improvement: including both (a) improvement in content?
(b) Improvement in evaluation of students. Explain your reasoning.
In your eyes, how should we describe its primary function: as an
assessment tool, as a learning tool, as an assignment clarification tool, or
something else? And why do you think that?
Feel free to frame your answers in the context of Assessment Design,
Assignment Design, and/or Learning Experience, and as a student and/or as
a teacher. Please make clear your perspective.
