Workshop - Applying the teaching practice inventory at Australian institutions
This workshop on 20th July is led by Professor Michael Drinkwater and will cover how the teaching practice inventory (TPI) is used at the University of Queensland. The workshop will also focus on how it could be used at other Australian universities and possible collaborations on designing additional questions for our local context.
The Wieman & Gilbert Teaching Practices Inventory is a 72-item questionnaire that asks staff objective questions about the use of specific evidence-based practices in a course. It takes about 11 minutes to complete. Wieman argued in his recent visit to Sydney that program-level data like this are necessary to lead broad change in teaching practice. Some US universities are encouraging staff to use it in addition to student evaluations in the confirmation and promotion process. At the University of Queensland, it was used to measure teaching practice in all of the semester 1 BSc courses in 2015.
