摘要:Most higher education institutions use some form of Student Evaluations of Teaching (SET) in order to gather information to gauge teaching performance and unit suitability. The value of SETs has come under increasing scrutiny, particularly in light of the Dr Fox study, which indicated that students are assessing charisma more than content. Similar results to the earlier study were found by the author during the process of moderating a teaching unit with a —Dr Fox" who had received good student feedback, and yet turned out to have poor subject knowledge. Whilst SETs may arguably provide a form of valuable feedback on teaching, the concept of teaching effectiveness needs to be monitored beyond simply the perceptions of the students' derived from a limited set of questions. This study recommends that in addition to SETs, a Reflective Action Learning Process (RALP) model be adopted, involving the use of a critical friend to provide additional feedback intended to assist with teaching improvement.
