Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine college-level educators' perceptions of the teacher evaluation process, both in general and within individual departments, and to determine whether the teacher evaluation process impacts individual teaching strategies. Data were also examined to determine if there was a significant difference between the college-level educators' perceptions of the evaluation process overall as well as across specific departments. The participants who participated in this study were faculty members within a small postsecondary academic institution in northwest Florida. The total sample consisted of 39 participants out of a population of 45 potential participants. The participants completed the Teacher Evaluation Profile (TEP), a 46-item Likert-type scale questionnaire. The results of the data indicated, overall, that the participants of this study perceived the teacher evaluation process, both in general and within their specific departments, to be one of high quality. When data were examined overall, no significant difference was found between the college-level educators' perceptions of the teacher evaluation process in general and the educators' perceptions of the process as conducted within their specific departments. When data were analyzed across departments, no significant difference was found in the college-level educators' perceptions of the teacher evaluation process in general. However, a significant difference was found, across departments, in the college-level educators' perceptions of the teacher evaluation process as conducted by the educators' specific department heads. One department was found to be significantly less satisfied than five other departments on campus. Moreover, the majority of participants reported that the evaluation process had an average to low amount of impact on their individual instructional strategies.
