An Interdisciplinary Analysis of Microteaching Evaluation Forms: How Peer Feedback Forms Shape What Constitutes "Good Teaching"
Vander Kloet, Marie Annette; Chugh, Brige Paul
Educational Research and Evaluation, v18 n6 p597-612 2012
Microteaching, a standard method for developing teaching skills, places high importance on peer feedback, which is guided by post-session feedback forms. This paper focuses on how feedback forms can shape what becomes understood as important to teaching. A sample of 10 microteaching evaluation forms drawn from North American postsecondary education institutions were examined using both qualitative and quantitative methods. Through a mixed-methods, interdisciplinary approach combining quantitative form classification based on distinct teaching elements with qualitative analysis drawing on Foucauldian and post-structural feminisms, key challenges are identified in the way that peer feedback forms may shape perceptions of what constitutes "good teaching". We interpret that the close attention paid to the management of the body and the disproportionate focus on presentation and style may foreclose other modes of teaching beyond a conventional lecture-based class. This leads to a discussion on the ways in which the evaluation forms can be enhanced to provide a more effective educational tool. (Contains 8 notes, 1 table and 1 figure.)
