Hi,
I am writing my dissertation and I am doing it on course evaluations. I have always wondered what happens to them after students click "submit". Do they inform practice? I believe that if schools were more transparent about what happens with their course evaluations and that they are used for professional development, that students would be more likely to complete them.
I need a specific topic and problem statement. Would this be transparency issues regarding course evaluations or student/faculty perceptions of course evaluations?
Thank you.
Eric
We would like to thank Andrew Boggs at the Higher Education Quality Council of ... As we will see in Section 3: Current Policy and Practice in North America, there are ... feedback from students on topics addressed in course evaluations

Hello Eric - I think that you are right that there can be gaps in how effectively the assessment loop is closed when it comes to responding to student feedback. There has been a recent (2018) Monash University project on this:
http://newmediaresearch.educ.monash.edu.au/feedback/?page_id=20
It is about having formal follow up and recording mechanisms for teachers, units and course leaders to acknowledge statistical and qualitative student feedback and to show that areas for improvement highlighted by data or (informed/constructive) student comments are acted upon in subsequent teaching iterations.
Possible research question: What are the challenges for quality assurance mechanisms in HE in closing the evaluation loop and ensuring that student feedback (where appropriate and justified) is acted upon?
A propósito, cabría preguntarse qué nivel de transferencia logra el estudiante de las habilidades que ha evidenciado en la evaluación.
