Overview of quality teaching initiatives
Institutional and Quality Assurance Policy Institution-wide policy (strategy) Dedicated body, Quality Assurance Systems
Programme Level Policy Programme design Programme evaluation
Teaching and Learning-focused activities Support to pedagogy Support to teaching and learning environment Continuing education for teachers Student support Support to student learning
![Page 9: Quality teaching dublin_henard_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be8d334a795999188b45f8/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
External incentives to quality teaching
A favourable climate for change Direct State incentives or regulations International influence
Competition amongst institutions The need for institutions to be recognized as a regular higher
education provider Quality teaching “because Teaching is our mission so we must
demonstrate we are performing in that field” Rebalancing Teaching-Research nexus
Quality Teaching, a future element of choice for students
![Page 10: Quality teaching dublin_henard_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be8d334a795999188b45f8/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Does Quality assurance enhance quality teaching?
Yes• QA stimulates the
awareness on quality teaching
• QA Agencies advise more than control
• QA enables a methodical approach to quality teaching
No• QA hardly embraces
the complexity of teaching
• How to measure quality teaching ?
• How to grasp the entire learning process?

3 main approaches to operate in quality teaching
Operational / technical
To help teachers operate
Conceptual / Strategic
What the action of teaching means for the academic community
and what added-value is gained by students?
A learning-focused model
The function of teaching in the learning process

Evaluation and impacts
Free University Berlin

The evaluation of quality teaching: accepted in principle, challenged in reality
A clear awareness of the need for evaluation in teaching
The institutions appraise the progress of quality teaching support, but not so much the quality of teaching as such.
![Page 19: Quality teaching dublin_henard_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be8d334a795999188b45f8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Why are Learning Outcomes weakly measured?
The logical route from teaching input to learning outcome is unknown or only experimentally scrutinized
The teaching-learning interconnection is overlooked by the traditional evaluation and accreditation systems.
Unlike primary /secondary education, the higher learning results from a wider array of factors external to the education provided by the institution
![Page 21: Quality teaching dublin_henard_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be8d334a795999188b45f8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How to better appraise the impacts?
21
1. Innovative teaching evaluation
2. Think in terms of synergy
![Page 22: Quality teaching dublin_henard_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be8d334a795999188b45f8/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
1) Innovative teaching evaluation: some practices
More qualitative measurement tools Opinion surveys
Descriptors
Interpreting the subjective results of the evaluation
Triangulation of information sources
Clarifying the aims of quality teaching initiatives
Making teaching explicit before or along with any quality teaching initiatives
![Page 23: Quality teaching dublin_henard_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be8d334a795999188b45f8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Teaching
Are the teachers aware of the outcomes of their teaching?
What pedagogy would be appropriate to the expected learning?
How can the institution support
teachers to achieve their mission?
Where do we want to lead our students?
Do we have the skilled teachers?Are students ready to gain
such teaching?
Innovative teaching evaluation: some practices

The impacts of quality teaching(1)
Awareness of the teachers' role beyond their discipline
Discernible impact on pedagogy
Curriculum development (aims / contents of programmes
Work environment

The impacts of quality teaching (2)
Research feeds the theoretical background of quality teaching
Research, a promising development for QT
![Page 27: Quality teaching dublin_henard_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be8d334a795999188b45f8/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The impacts of quality teaching (3)
When QT boosts quality culture
When QT promotes the institution’s identity
QT is a promotional tool to attract and retain teachers
![Page 28: Quality teaching dublin_henard_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be8d334a795999188b45f8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Main conclusions (1)
Definitions and conceptions of QT that are highly varied and in constant flux
QT initiatives are empirical and address the institutions’ particular needs The university’s local environment shapes the extent of its commitment
to QT
QT must be thought of dynamically
An effective institutional policy for the QT involves harnessing synergy between external and internal institutional factors
![Page 29: Quality teaching dublin_henard_2013](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081414/54be8d334a795999188b45f8/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Main conclusions (2)
Long-term, non-linear effort subject to multiple constraints
Commitment on the part of all university stakeholders
Balance between technical aspects of quality support and the fundamental issues raised
Innovative evaluative approaches are needed to better understand the correlation QT support/Learning outcomes
