The Use Of Student Evaluation Of Teaching Surveys In Higher Education: Is English Language Teaching A Disadvantaged Profession?

Speaker: Peter Burden, Okayama Shoka University
Date: Saturday, January 17th, 2009
Time: 2:30 PM - 4:30 PM
Location: Osaka
Venue: Room 3 of Namba Shimin Gakushu Center (Osaka City Municipal Lifelong Learning Center - Namba Branch), (O-CAT 4F, 06 6643-7010) http://www.osakademanabu.com/namba/
Description: Little is known about the actual processes students follow when responding to end-of-semester student evaluation of teaching surveys (SETs). What do first year university students think about their English learning experiences, and do these experiences influence how they evaluate their university English classes? This presentation will explore these and other questions and share results of the presenter's study of 144 first year university students' beliefs about their English learning experiences and whether these beliefs have influenced how they evaluate.

Peter Burden holds an EdD in TESOL from Exeter University in his native Britain and has presented widely on student evaluation in Japan, Korea and Australia. He has published in "Teaching and Teacher Education", "System" and "Assessment and Evaluation in Higher Education" journals and has served on the evaluation committee at his university. He currently serves as an officer for his university kumiai (union).
