Using Imagery for Investigating Teaching Evaluation

# data[].attributes.body
I have not performed any research that uses photo elicitation thus far. However, I have thought of a way. I will admit, this is a challenging assignment - especially as I am interested in the evaluation of teaching in online settings. Would you like a D2L course homepage screenshot? Of course not. And how would you use that? Well, let me show you...

I thought of using a series of photographs to get people talking about how they observe and evaluate traditional face-to-face courses. For instance:

How would you go about observing a teacher in this environment?

What about this environment? Would you do anything differently?

# data[].attributes.body
How about observing teaching here? Would you evaluate teaching any differently? Would you use different instruments or methods?

What about here? Would you approach this teaching observation any differently? What would you change?

What about this interactive video classroom? Would you use the same instrument and techniques to evaluate the instructor and/or teaching effectiveness?

What about this learning environment? Would you use any different methods or instruments in this case? What would you do differently?

I find the thought of using photographic representations of classrooms and screenshots of online courses well.. humorous.. and probably jarring to someone that perhaps has never given a second thought about the fact that they either don't evaluate online teaching (when they have that responsibility) or that they use the same instruments and methods as face-to-face courses (though I can't imagine how) to evaluate online teaching.

Next I thought of using models to query evaluation interview participants...

You may be aware, my institution invented a method that describes learning environments using a visual "language". I would use these models to elicit responses from those responsible for teaching evaluation.

How would you rate this learning environment?

What about this one? Would you do anything differently? Would you use the same method and instrument?

I could put more models here, but I think you get the point.

I am glad we covered this topic. Though I do not believe I will be using this type of inquiry for my study. The exercise was thought provoking. Thanks!
