Programme self-evaluation and programme vision – TEE 2020

The outcome of the programme self-evaluation is a self-evaluation report in the form of a survey questionnaire. The survey contains several themes, and aims to follow the planning and management cycle of  a programme. The survey uses the webropol survey tool (see instructions attached).

The participants in the self-evaluation are chosen by the programme, always including also student representation.

Support for the evaluation

For the evaluation it is recommended that the programme uses available background data in the evaluation, e.g. the Online Reporting Tool for Programme Management, results from the AllWell?-survey, other relevant data such as TEK and SEFE surveys.
See also term definitions for learning objectives and learning outcomes in the self-evaluation questionnaire (see attachment).

Online reporting tool for programme management clinics

Support will be offered to use the Online reporting tool for programme management. More information about the use of the tool [email protected].

AllWell? study well-being survey

The evaluation uses also the data from the AllWell? study well-being survey. The AllWell? results have been sent to all programmes. It is important to understand that study wellbeing is an outcome of high quality teaching, supervising and well designed, functional curriculum. The AllWell? -survey measures the alignment of teaching, interest and relevance of teaching and feedback from teachers to students. The results indicate that these factors have a significant impact on the success as well as the wellbeing of students. For any further questions, please contact [email protected].

For a summary of AllWell?-survey, see the slides.

There’s also a short video about how to enhance study well-being (youtube.com)

Programme vision

The self-evaluation is followed by a peer review between two programmes. Based on the results from the self-evaluation and peer review, the programme will write a short vision for the programme. In the vision the programme can focus on lessons learned from the self- and peer evaluation and future foresight for development. There is a template for the programme vision (see attachment). The programme returns the vision in the webropol survey tool. The link to the survey is in the vision attachment. 

Numeric results of the self-evaluation

There is an online access to the results of the numeric questions of the degree programme self-evaluation of the Teaching and Learning Evaluation Exercise 2020 at Aalto University. The programme self-evaluation is organised into eight thematic sections. The sections have both open answer and numeric questions. There are altogether 79 questions in the self-evaluation. Of these 24 questions are numeric with an answer option on a scale of 1-4.

The results of the numeric questions give an overview and an introduction to the programme self-evaluation data. The results do not as such allow a more deep-going or comparative analysis. This would require the data from both the numeric and the  open answer questions of the self-evaluation.
