Colleagues as Sources of Evidence and Evaluators of Teaching Performance in Personnel Decisions.
Pruitt, Anne S.
Peer review of college faculty is discussed from the perspective of an administrator who reviews promotion and tenure documents at the central university level. Attention is directed to: the rationale for peer review, qualities of an effective teacher, sources of information available to colleagues, an example of a peer review system at The Ohio State University's (OSU) Faculty of Management and Human Resources, and a suggestion for needed research. At OSU, faculty are advised to base their opinions of colleagues on: (1) visiting classes and lectures presented to the public or professional societies; (2) review of documents such as syllabi, term papers, reading lists, and examinations; (3) development by the candidate of new and effective techniques of instruction and instructional materials; (4) review of publications by the candidate on the teaching of appropriate discipline in respected journals devoted to pedagogy; (5) recognitions or awards for distinguished teaching; and (6) review of the opinions of graduates who have achieved professional success, and the number and caliber of students guided in research by the candidate. A primary concern is that the information on candidates be valid and reliable, and that the process is fair. (SW)
