abstract |
Many higher educational institutions and academic staff are still sceptical about
the validity and reliability of student evaluation questionnaires, in particular when
these evaluations are completed online. One month after a university-wide implementation
from paper to online evaluation across 629 modules, (perceived) resistance and ambivalence
amongst academic staff were unpacked. A mixed-method study was conducted amongst 104
academics using survey methods and follow-up semi-structured interviews. Despite a
successful ‘technical’ transition (i.e. response rate of 60%, similar scores to previous
evaluations), more than half of respondents reported a negative experience with this
transition. The results indicate that the multidimensional nature of ambivalence towards
change and the dual nature of student evaluations can influence the effectiveness
of organisational transition processes. |
