Session Type: Paper Session
This session investigates how teaching effectiveness is measured, interpreted, and improved through critical and evidence-based inquiry. Presentations examine the complex dynamics shaping student evaluations of teaching, highlighting how factors such as race, gender, and motivational climate influence perceptions and outcomes. Together, these studies interrogate issues of bias, validity, and fairness in course evaluation systems, while exploring how student engagement and self-reported effort can inform more meaningful approaches to faculty development. By linking pedagogical practices—such as adaptive, equity-oriented teaching—to student achievement across contexts, the session advances a more nuanced and ethical understanding of teaching evaluation as both a research endeavor and a driver of educational improvement.
