Peer Review of Teaching in a Research-intensive University Context: Lessons Learned with Senior Educational Leaders from Multi-disciplinary Settings
Speaker: Prof Harry Hubball
Department of Curriculum and Pedagogy, Faculty of Education, University of British Columbia
Format: Seminar
In this seminar, the speaker has described an institutional initiative intended to address many of these historical shortcomings through the development of scholarly, and therefore more credible, approaches to the PRT within and across the disciplines at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada. Issues addressed in this presentation include contemporary approaches to the evaluation of teaching in higher education, faculty "buy-in" and the evaluation of teaching in a research intensive university, scholarly approaches to summative and formative performance reviews of teaching (PRT), Faculty-specific engagement in summative and formative (informal to formal) PRT training and implementation, and strategic institutional supports (funding, expertise, mentoring, technological resources). Also, a brief introduction was provided to compare and contrast related international contexts for PRT.
