Measuring Teaching Efficiency Among College Instructors (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Measuring Teaching Efficiency Among College Instructors

The effectiveness of instruction is a professional phrase com monly employed to designate two distinct things. It may refer to the superiority of a certain teaching method or procedure over another or it may indicate the amount of teaching skill possessed by one individual as contrasted with others. Both uses postulate the existence of at least one index, mark, or criterion, by means of which the relative excellence of a device or a person may be asoer tained. The reasons for selecting some signs rather than others as symptomatic of various degrees of competence are generally obscure, and the justification of the choice normally rests upon social or philosophical grounds which the positive scientist accepts as ultimate, even though he may be fully aware of their tentative character.
