Using faculty self-evaluation as an innovative tool to improve university courses

Journal Title: Revista CEA - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 10

Abstract

This article analyzes the changes made to the teaching and learning process of the course Advertisement Design 101 in the Advertisement and Marketing program at Franz Tamayo University in Cochabamba, Bolivia, over a period of 14 semesters (2012-2018). Faculty self-evaluation was used for that purpose. The data were obtained from educational standards that describe the pedagogical strategies adopted in each course. The results show that their content curation is in line with their multidimensional and complex global context, research and co-creation of evaluations with students, the use of technology as a means of educational practice, and the generation of new physical and virtual learning spaces. Additionally, 30 faculty members participated in a survey, and 17 % of them indicated they used self-evaluations as a reference point for their teaching practice. In conclusion, faculty self-assessment can be a relevant and innovative learning tool for professors and students.
