A Systematic Analysis of Quality of Teaching Surveys
Davies, Martin; Hirschberg, Joe; Lye, Jenny; Johnston, Carol
Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education, v35 n1 p87-100 Jan 2010
All tertiary institutions in Australia use the same Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ); however, for the internal evaluation of teaching they use their own surveys. This paper performs an analysis of the internal Quality of Teaching Surveys (QTS) used in Australian universities. We classify the questions within the QTS surveys. This classification is used to explore how different universities' surveys are similar to each other. We find that some universities use a QTS that is quite distinct from other universities. We also investigate whether there is a particular pattern to the types of questions used in the surveys. We find that there are some question types that are employed widely in a typical survey and others that are not. This analysis can be used by universities to determine how their surveys compare to their peer institutions and other institutions across Australia. (Contains 3 tables, 2 figures and 9 notes.)
