A Report of Questionnaire Survey Asking Teaching Staff Concerning Evaluation of Faculty Teaching From the Students in Nippon Medical School

Abstract

A questionnaire survey was conducted to ask teaching staffs about the present activities and opinions of evaluation of faculty teaching from the students (EFS). One hundred and eighty-eight among 336 members (56.1%) responded. Among them sixty-four (34%) replied that they had tried at least once EFS of their lectures and/or practices. Approximately 70% had a opinion that EFS would benefit them for improving their lectures and practices, and/or for improving course planning. Fifty-four per cent of members supported EFS to be introduced, 34% depended upon how to evaluate, and remaining 5% did not support it. These results indicate that the staff members are highly concerned with EFS which should be provided for introduction after a full discussion how to evaluate.
