Teaching Project: Learning Goals

Idea and initial proposal

Learning goals are crucial for higher education teaching, since they correlate highly with successful learning. My idea is to conduct a small survey about the courses offered at my department, and investigate how learning goals are designed, communicated and perceived.

Survey

The survey data is confidential, but you can have a look at the questions for lecturers and students:

Survey form lecturers | survey form students

Findings

The main findings of my survey are that there is a considerable mismatch between learning goals as intended by lecturers, and as perceived by students. Some lecturers are not effective at designing and/or designing learning goals.

Youtube Playlist Learning Goals

After conducting my survey, I made a series of short videos about learning goals. My intention was to summarize in a very condensed way key information about learning goals.
