Abstract
AbstractHow lecturers teach is supposed to be a reflection of what they believe in but sometimes it seems this is not always the case. This paper reports on two studies designed to examine how much consistency there is between psychology lecturers’ self-reports about the way they teach and their actual teaching practices. The first study used an adapted version of Ramsden’s (1992) Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) and the second, an adapted version of Norton, Morgan and Thomas’ (1995) Ideal Self Inventory (ISI). Lecturers’ responses to both measures were compared with those provided by their students. For the majority of both the CEQ and ISI items there were no statistical differences, suggesting an overall broad match between lecturers and students. The fact that there were some discrepancies raises interesting questions about how far it is possible to use students’ perceptions as a measure of lecturers’ consistency between their beliefs and practices.
