Abstract

The development of the teaching evaluation has been a longitudinal action research approach. Step-by-step measures and strategies were taken by the Medical Education Unit (MEU) to improve the quality of teaching and validate the evaluation documentation. These measures formed part of the accreditation of the medical curriculum. The main objectives of the teaching evaluation are to provide a forum for students to provide feedback on the quality of the teaching provided within the School of Medicine and enable tutors to receive feedback on their performance. Evaluation also provides a medium for tutors to identify areas of need regarding their Continuing Professional Development (CPD). In 2007, the MEU looked at all aspects of course evaluation and student experiences by using Pendleton's feedback tool and a Likert-scale. In 2009, evaluation questionnaires were created in Optical Mark Reader (OMR) format through Form and Label Integrated Printing System (FLIPS) software. In 2011, standard operating procedures were created for disseminating the feedback to staff. To conclude, this presentation will focus on the development of the teaching evaluation and the measures taken by the MEU to improve the quality of the evaluation process that has made a positive impact on the School.
