IDEA Workshops

IDEA

SHSU uses the online IDEA (Individual Development & Educational Assessment) student ratings of instruction system for evaluation of all instructors campus wide. Completing the course Objectives Selection Form (formerly known as Faculty Information Form) and interpreting results are addressed in the workshop. If available, please bring recent IDEA scores for analysis and feedback. You will be better prepared for optimal use of IDEA following this workshop. Participants are limited to eight so that each can receive individual attention if desired. Lunch is served.

Interpreting the Vast Amount of Information in IDEA Results

Participants will be able to express:

  • Why the converted scores are more appropriate than the 1-5 scale
  • How teaching methods and objectives match
  • Determine what techniques are being performed well and which could use adjustment
  • How to determine if what the instructor believes is happening in the course is what students perceive is happening
  • How to obtain feedback from the online system on what actions to take to improve teaching and learning
