SEfU - students as experts in teaching
SEfU - Students as Experts for Teaching is a feedback system for teachers developed by the Ministry for Schools and Further Education of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in collaboration with the Friedrich Schiller University in Jena , Thuringia and the Thuringian Ministry for Education, Science and Culture was developed.
target
The SEfU project aims to give teachers the opportunity to quickly and easily obtain feedback on their lessons from students. On the basis of the subjectively experienced teaching quality, teachers can initiate steps for teaching development. The instrument is only used voluntarily and anonymously by teachers.
procedure
After logging on to the sefu-online.de portal, a survey can be created. Class level, subject, survey period and questionnaire type are selected. The teacher can then print out student ID cards that have a unique code that students can use to conduct the survey on the online portal. After the students have completed the survey, the teacher can have a results report generated, which automatically evaluates all data. This document can be downloaded and printed out in PDF format.
Elevation
Depending on the type of questionnaire, 15–41 items are collected about lessons and 5–12 questions about student characteristics. The teaching items ask for consent on a 4-point scale as well as the importance of this characteristic.
Anonymity and data sovereignty
All data is collected anonymously. So it cannot be traced back which student gave which answer. In addition, only the teacher can view the data (not colleagues, school management, etc.). The teacher alone decides how the results should be used.
Further development and support
The instrument is supervised and further developed by the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. She checks the scientific quality of the instrument, develops new questionnaires and functions. There is also support that teachers can contact with questions and problems.
