Exploring Academics' Engagement with Course Evaluation Reports and Their Impact on Teaching Practices

This presentation delves into the phenomenon of course evaluation reports (CER) and how university academics understand and respond to the evaluative event. It examines the behavioral and emotional implications of receiving CERs, likening the anticipation to receiving a life-changing engagement ring. The study explores the influence of CERs on teaching practices and the perceptions of quality among academics. Furthermore, it discusses the consequences of structural changes within the university sector and emphasizes the need for community participation in the evaluation process for better academic outcomes.
