The Teaching Evaluation for Development Service (TEDS) supports teaching staff to engage in the critical reflective cycle of evaluation, reflection, planning and implementing change in their individual teaching, unit and program for quality enhancement. Individuals/ Departments/ Divisions are required to regularly:

  1. Collect evaluative data from students and others on their experiences of programs, courses and units conducted by the individual/organisational unit concerned.
  2. Analyse the data to establish possible areas of current policy/practice in need of improvement.
  3. Establish goals and strategies to realise these improvements, and
  4. Implement and evaluate the impact of these strategies on student learning outcomes and experiences.

To assist individual staff and organisational units to meet these responsibilities, TEDS provides:

  • A range of evaluation instruments and reports that can be used to collect, and act upon, student feedback data, including:
  • Advice for individual staff on
    • using student feedback for the quality enhancement of units and for individual professional development,
    • approaches to informal evaluation,
    • guidance on preparing teaching portfolios, to document teaching for career purposes.
  • Advice to academic units on the use of student feedback in their teaching quality assurance and enhancement processes.

Through its services, TEDS seeks to support student engagement, the development of individuals, departments and academic units, as well as curriculum renewal.

NB: The use of the student feedback on teaching by staff is voluntary and confidential and open to all staff at Macquarie.
