Figure 6: Course evaluation – results (scales)
In total, the participants rated the courses offered with an average mark of
1.99 (average of all courses, marking scale between 1 [highest] and 6
[lowest]). At this, high approval ratings on the scales of “Structure & didactics”
and “Online” appeared particularly relevant to a good overall evaluation. The
lowest impact on the overall mark came from the scales of (own)
“Participation” and “Interaction” (“I should have liked to see more exchange
with the other course participants.”).
The results of the study, however, show a high correlation between a positive
evaluation of a growth of knowledge for the participating teaching staff, and the
testing of the course contents conducted in their own classes. Both the
statement that the concepts conveyed had by now become inherent part of
their own teaching, and the intention to keep integrating the course contents
into their own teaching, also strongly correlate with practical testing conducted
in their own classes.
The participants particularly liked the flexibility in terms of time, contents and
location, the interlocking of theory and practical testing, the individual
feedback, the material provided, and also the fact that online training courses
extended over a longer period of time (in contrast, for instance, to attending
just one event), see table 1.
