How do I evaluate the impact of an innovation?
Getting started
Orientation
- What is effectiveness in teaching?
- How can I assess my own effectiveness?
Merit in the delivery of teaching to facilitate learning might be evidenced through evaluating the impact of innovation on student learning.
Evaluation of teaching is covered in much more detail in the section Evaluation of Practice and Continuing Professional Development.
In brief, evaluation contributes to the continuous improvement and enhancement of the curriculum and of teaching and learning through review, reflection and improvement. There are a number of different ways in which you can evaluate how effective you are being as a teacher.
Informal evaluationYou can carry out an informal evaluation of your teaching at any point in your course. One way to do this would be to ask students to respond to a questionnaire or build in a 'reflect and review' feature at the end of a teaching session.
Formal evaluationYou can carry out a formal evaluation at the end of your course. Again, you can ask your students to respond to a questionnaire or hold a discussion group of students so they can provide feedback. The University of Auckland has a question bank with standard evaluation questions. The section Evaluation of Practice and Continuing Professional Development goes into much more detail about student evaluation.

How do I evaluate the impact of an innovation?
“A teaching philosophy can help you to reflect on how and why you teach. If you don’t have a teaching philosophy, you might want to consider writing one. You can take a look at What makes a good teacher? to get started. If you already have a teaching philosophy, you might want to reflect on how the work that you are doing here fits with that philosophy”.
