The Evaluative Event: A Study of Academics Engaging in Evaluation Practices Leone Hinton Head, Academic Staff Development Unit Jo Miller Project Officer, Quality Unit
What is this presentation about? This presentation focuses on course (unit) evaluation reports (CER) and how academics conceive of the ‘evaluative event’ and what impact/s on their teaching practice occurs as a result. AHEEF Presentation
‘Evaluative Event’ A phenomenon where academics experience the receipt of the CER, review and act on the CER. When academics encounter the CER, it sets in motion a set of behaviours and actions that constitute this event. AHEEF Presentation
Receiving the report is kinda like when you have been going out with someone for many years and they give you a small box and you want to open it because it might be an engagement ring but if it’s not your life is about to become very bad … you get the report and it is a very scary thing.
