Report of Teaching Effectiveness Committee wa omitted from the April 17, 1984, Senate Agenda. COMMITTEE FOR TEACHING EXCELLENCE Report on Teaching Excellence Awards April, 1984 ECU Alumni Association presents two awards annually for teaching excellence: The Robert and Lina Mays Award and the Robert L. Jones Award. Both awards consist of engraved plaques or trays and five hundred dollars to be used for professional growth activities. The only other stipulation is that the awards be for undergraduate teaching. The Alumni Association asked the Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs. to be responsible for selecting recipients and the VCAA delegated the selection process to the Teaching Effectiveness Committee. Since the campus-wide survey of student opinion of instruction has: been. available, data from that survey have been used for choosing award recipients. TEC selects certain questions from the student survey, plus several other criteria which must be met. The established criteria are sent to Institutional Research and used to select the top two faculty members who meet the criteria. Once TEC sets the criteria, it has no: further involvement. in the selection process. For the past three years the following criteria have been set up by TEC 2 and used by Institutional Research: Have survey data from more than one undergraduate course. Have class enrollments totaling at least 20 students. Have at least a 60 percent survey participation rate. From the student survey the mean of the following questions is used, based on scores of 1 for the most negative answers and 5 for the ‘most positive: The content of the assignments do not contribute to my understanding of the subject. The requirements of the course (projects, papers, exams, etc.) were explained adequately. The instructor's presentation often causes me to think in depth about this subject. The methods being used for evaluating my work (such as tests, projects, etc.) are reasonable. The instructor does not teach course material and/or skills clearly. The instructor seems to be well prepared. (m) The instructor does not seem to care about my learning. Course objectives are being achieved. During the semester, I look forward to attending this class. Course objectives Toye th bee oddreaady charley, The instructor provides useful feedback on student progress (identifying strengths and weaknesses. ) In this course, I am not learning very much. If I needed help outside of class, the instructor has given help to me. An additional stipulation was added this year in that four years elapse before a faculty member can be eligible to receive an award again. The committee will continue to work on bringing faculty in "unorthodox" teaching situations into the student survey and awards process. Schools and departments are urged to consider establishing their own teaching awards to give recognition for teaching excellence to more faculty. CTE has been working on revisions in the student survey process this year and will be presenting proposed changes to Faculty Senate early next fall.
