Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET)Citizen Evaluation of Teaching (CET) Overview of SET/CET Faculty Senate Advancement of Teaching Committee
…especially when the relationship to your work is not clear…
OBJECTIVES 1. Identify changes in forms 2. Recommend reporting practices 3. Evaluated SET/CET forms 4. Provide faculty feedback
All OSU instructors SET/CET forms and questions are parallel for faculty in ~ *Resident instruction *Extension activities *E-campus courses
OBJECTIVE 1Identify changes in form Changes in questions a. New questions focus on teaching behavior b. Questions address only a single behavior c. Questions were validated at OSU & elsewhere d. Space provided for class/discipline specific questions
OBJECTIVE 1Identify changes in form (cont.) Changes in scale a. Old scale was 0 – 4 with word anchors for 0 and 4 only; treated as interval data. b. New scale is 1 – 6 with words for all numbers; is ordinal data.
Objective 2Recommendreporting practices Questions 1 & 2 • These are the only “norm-referenced” (i.e., to compare with others) questions • Appropriate to use in comparing across disciplines • Most appropriate responses to report for P&T, awards, merit
Objective 2Recommend reporting practices (cont.) Questions 3 – 12 a. These are criterion referenced items (i.e., compare to a standard) b. Formative rather than summative information c. Designed to improve teaching practice d. Interpretation should be to compare faculty with similar expertise
Objective 2Recommend reporting practices (cont.) New forms provide response templates for instructor and/or department specified items a. To assess new teaching practice b. To assess course-specific information c. To provide evidence for accreditation
Objective 2Recommend reporting practices (cont.) Responses for all new items are: a. Descriptive, i.e., words with numbers assigned for analysis purposes b. Ordinal not interval data c. Medians, not means, are the appropriate statistic for central tendency with ordinal data
Objective 2Recommend reporting practices (cont.) Changes in reported results a. Previous form reported MEANS with frequencies and without a measure of variability/dispersion. b. Current form reports MEDIANS with frequencies and without a measure of variability/dispersion.
Objective 2Recommend reporting practices (cont.) 1. Report data prior to 2003 using mean of Question 12. 2. Report data for 2003 and after using median for Question 1 and 2. 3. Note that neither measure of central tendency has accompanying measure of variability. 4. Means and medians can be graphed in a similar manner. 5. Include a statement about the change in forms in candidate statement.
Objective 3 SET/CET Evaluation Change in reported results SET/CET data are ranked categories (ordinal) rather than continuous numerical (interval) data

Objective 4 Faculty Feedback 1. How often do you add questions specific to your teaching or accreditation needs to the back of the form? always sometimes never
Objective 4 Faculty Feedback 2. How are SET/CET results, i.e., medians of Questions 1 and 2 used: P&T Awards Merit Other
Objective 4 Faculty Feedback 3. Median for Questions 3 through 12 are: Interpreted within discipline for P&T, awards, merit. Used to improve my teaching. Indicators to improve and evaluate other aspects of my teaching. Other
Objective 4 Faculty Feedback 4. Student evaluation of teaching represents one of several ways to evaluate teaching. Which of the following do you also use to evaluate your teaching? Self-evaluation. Inviting peers from your discipline. Sending teaching packets to external peers in your discipline for evaluation. Trying new methods, approaches or content based on workshops, symposia, readings, suggestions
Objective 4 Faculty Feedback • After attending or viewing this presentation, are there still aspects of SET/CET use or interpretation that are not clear? YES NO • Please specify:
Dissemination • AOT committee will report results of this survey to the Faculty Senate Executive Committee and post the report on the Advancement of Teaching Committee website.
