ATTITUDES OF FUTURE TEACHERS TOWARDS EVALUATION OF UNIVERSITY COURSES
Snježana Dubovicki
Abstract
This paper is about evaluation of university courses which represents systematic monitoring and gathering of data pertaining to cognitive, experiential, and psychomotor, as well as biological, social and factors of self-actualisation, with the purpose of producing feedback on the effectiveness of the process of teaching. When evaluating university courses, it is possible to use different evaluation procedures which can contribute to the overall quality of teaching.
The author aims to determine whether students perceive the evaluation of university instruction in a positive way. Also, how much previous experience with evaluation (primary and secondary level) influences their attitude on the importance of evaluation as a part of university courses. Furthermore, the research also dealt with the degree of honesty in students' answers. Additionally, the intention was to find out whether evaluation should be thought out creatively.
The results of the research show that the students who participated in this study had very little experience with evaluation of teaching in their previous primary and secondary education, but that they want it to be implemented in university courses.
