A Handbook of Techniques for Formative Evaluation: Mapping the Students’ Learning Experience

In order to assess the effectiveness and quality of teaching it is necessary to evaluate the learning experience of students receiving tuition. This short and practical handbook provides all those teaching in higher and further education with a reference on how to develop and use a “toolkit” which is capable of exploring and assessing all the relevant aspects of their students’ learning. Avoiding a theoretical account of the subject, the authors present a guide to assessing the reader’s own teaching quality that will tie in with the needs of their institution’s quality guidelines, as well as likely wider developments, such as teaching quality assessment and continuing professional development guidelines from the ILT.
