Abstract

ABSTRACT This paper attempts to ‘lay out’ as clearly as possible some of my preconceptions and assumptions about the evaluation of teaching. The main focus is on teaching in higher education but I hope the ideas may be applicable to teaching in general. The main reason for this analysis was a feeling of dissatisfaction with many of the papers I had read, but the attempt to make my assumptions as explicit as possible was the result of trying to understand the process of bracketing — a process central to existential‐phenomenological psychology in which one attempts to take a ‘transcendental attitude'’ ‘ to the world rather than a ‘natural attitude’. Whilst my understanding of this process may be inadequate, even faulty, I think the process has helped me to clarify my ideas about both teaching and the evaluation of it.
