Team-Teaching: What we learn from Course Feedback

Team-teaching, also known as collaborative-teaching, co-teaching and pair-lecturing has been practiced for ages. It is generally described as a positive pedagogical practice that can both enhance learning among students and the experience of teaching among instructors. However, previous results (using FHSE CF data) indicate a preference (i.e., higher average ratings) for solo-instructor courses compared to courses with multi-instructors. This has important implications for the practice of "team-teaching" at our university. Thus, building on previous research, I will explore the effect of team-teaching (solo- vs. multi-instructor) on average course feedback ratings using the newly revised CF questionnaire at the UL. The new questionnaire allows for additional and a more in-depth exploration of this important topic.
