Teach-Meet: How to evaluate our educational practice?

Evaluation of education is an essential component of the educational cycle. It can occur in formal or informal settings, measure course, programme or institutional quality and serve (intermediate) learning processes such as group dynamics.

Depending on the context, many different evaluation methods exist at Maastricht University. Evaluation results also differ in terms of constructive or informative output and subsequent follow-up.

During this Teach-Meet, EDLAB wants to address our culture of education evaluation and offer good practices for evaluation methods in different contexts of learning at UM through four sub-themes:

• The (changing) nature of the evaluation of education
• Course & other content evaluation
• Evaluation of the learning process
• The student voice in the evaluation of education

Preliminary programme:
