Qualitätsentwicklung von Studium und Lehre: Entwicklung und Validierung eines verhaltensbasierten Messinventars zur studentischen Lehrveranstaltungsevaluation
In: die hochschullehre, Band 6, S. 554-557
Despite controversial discussions regarding its validity (e. g. Marsh 1984), student evaluations of university courses are established as an instrument for quality assurance. Apart from the frequently discussed and researched question of validity, there are more and at least as urgent questions concerning the effectiveness of evaluation processes: What does quality in the context of teaching mean and how could it be operationalized? Do different disciplines in university contexts have a common understanding of 'quality'? The Faculty of Psychology and Educational Sciences (Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich) has been researching in this field for years. Aiming at a coherent concept including an effective overall process, the project encompasses several sub-studies. Subsequent to presenting the theory and empirically based instrument, challenges regarding the application to various faculties as well as possibilities in respect of its effectiveness are introduced.
