A general definition of evaluation is the following: Evaluation is the recognition, clarification and implementation of basic criteria in order to define the value of an object based on those criteria (Fitzpatrick et al, 2004). …”

Evaluating higher education teaching performance is complex as it involves consideration of both objective and subjective criteria. The Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) is used to improve higher education quality. However, the traditional approaches to considering students' responses to SET questionnaires for improving teaching quality have several shortcomings. This study proposes an integrated approach to higher education teaching evaluation that combines the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The AHP allows consideration of the varying importance of each criterion of teaching performance while DEA enables the comparison of tutors on teaching as perceived by students with a view to identifying the scope for improvement by each tutor. The proposed teaching evaluation method is illustrated using data from a higher education institution in Greece.

“…Evaluation is an information gathering process, that can be more or less elaborated (FERNANDES, 2010) allowing us to make judgments about the value or merit of a given object (BARBIER, 1985;FERNANDES, 2009FERNANDES, , 2010FITZPATRICK;SANDERS;WORTHEN, 2004;PEREIRA;COSTA, 2004).…”

The main goal of this study is to research the impact of enrolment in Graduate Programmes (GPs) on a set of Basic Education 2 and High School 3 teachers in Portugal. We seek to understand whether teachers consider this training as an added value, and the extent to which this is reflected in the improvement of their professional performance, in the schools, and in their students' learning. Preliminary research results show, among other aspects, that the reasons why teachers enrol in GPs are associated mainly with personal fulfilment issues. Moreover, despite the fact that both teachers and school leaders recognize the importance of GPs, they acknowledge that there are still few effects.

The roles of the instructors in an ESP-task based language teaching course

The graduate program in Teaching English at the University of Costa Rica offers yearly English courses to satisfy the language learning needs at different departments, research centers, or similar institutions. The objective of this article was to analyze the extent to which a group of student teachers fulfilled the roles of the instructors in the Task Based Language Teaching method used in the graduate program. The study used a mixed-methods approach and the subjects were three instructors during their teaching practicum. The roles of the instructors were assessed by the practicum supervisors, fellow students in the practicum, the students in the course, and the instructors themselves through rubrics, observation sheets, surveys, and teaching journals. The results from the different instruments using different scales pointed to the instructors fulfilling the roles of sequencing tasks and motivating the learners a majority of the times. The roles of preparing the learners for tasks and raising consciousness were fulfilled to a lesser extent, which indicated that the instructors needed to work further on these areas. The study concluded with recommendations for improving the roles that revealed weaknesses, notably aimed to provide a manageable numbers of vocabulary items and grammar structures in the pretask, as well as to provide prompt feedback, and to elicit students’ knowledge for the development of lessons.
