“…El desempeño docente, de modo específico, se relaciona a la práctica pedagógica observable como reflejo de la competencia del docente para hacer frente, de modo específico, a las demandas requeridas por el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje (Gálvez & Milla, 2018;Tapia & Tipula, 2017). A pesar de sus definiciones teóricas, aún no existe acuerdo sobre su estructura, la pertinencia de la unidad de análisis usada, o la adecuación de distintas estrategias de medición (Hornstein, 2017;Viswesvaran & Ones, 2017;Whiteley, 2016). De hecho, el enfoque utilizado para evaluarlo puede distorsionar su definición.…”

“…Por ejemplo, a través de herramientas enfocadas en resultados obtenidos, enfocadas en el comportamiento del docente en el salón de clases, o enfocadas en el desarrollo del docente y las revisiones que realiza en su método (Gálvez & Milla, 2018). Esta complicación deriva incluso en el uso de herramientas que no dan lugar a inferencias válidas sobre el desempeño del docente (Hornstein, 2017;Whiteley, 2016). Comprender este constructo se torna más complicado cuando se toma en cuenta ciertos condiciones de la labor docente relacionados a la presión, la diversidad de los "clientes", la posible existencia de conflictos de valores, entre otros (Poulou, 2017).…”

El síndrome de burnout es un indicador de salud ocupacional que afecta el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje y puede perjudicar la calidad educativa ofrecida por las instituciones. La relación entre características individuales y el ambiente laboral pueden afectar de distintas formas al desempeño docente. La presente investigación busca analizar el ajuste de un modelo que predice el desempeño docente en base al síndrome de burnout, incluyendo también características individuales y de percepción del ambiente laboral en docentes universitarios. La muestra se compone de 94 docentes, quienes brindaron información ligada al rasgo de conciencia, el nivel de burnout, de engagement, de su desempeño docente y de su percepción del ambiente laboral. Esta investigación de tipo transversal cuantitativa genera modelos de ecuaciones estructurales para revisar sus hipótesis. El segundo modelo es el que mejor ajuste muestra, considerando el desempeño a través de cada componente por separado. Este modelo muestra que el principal predictor del desempeño docente es la percepción del ambiente laboral (β = .116 - .239). Se discuten las implicancias de los hallazgos, prestando especial atención a la naturaleza del constructo de desempeño.

“…Employability is defined as an individual’s ability to find and sustain employment (McQuaid & Lindsay 2005); it is important to both graduates and higher education providers (Clarke 2018; Whiteley 2016), for several reasons. Higher education fees in Australia have risen dramatically in recent years, leaving graduates with significant debt, which makes rapid career progression a necessary goal for many (Jackson & Bridgstock 2018).…”

Portfolio Literacy and the Transition to Work for Graphic Design Graduates

The graphic design industry has moved beyond its traditional focus on printed matter to deliver multidimensional communication projects involving diverse audiences and media channels. No longer a skills and service industry, graphic design increasingly informs business strategy and innovation processes, requiring heterogeneous expertise, a rigorous design process and the ability to work in multidisciplinary teams. This shift raises the question of the relevance of a traditional design portfolio in demonstrating employability, especially when employers prioritise generic over disciplinary and technical skills. Our article reports the results of a survey of 53 Australian employers of graphic design graduates on the role of the portfolio in evidencing design-specific and more general employability skills, capacities and attributes. The article provides a deeper understanding of the role of a portfolio in the transition to work. We argue that graphic design graduates need 'portfolio literacy'-which combines insight in the curation of the portfolio and its use in interview performance-to demonstrate both core graphic design and creative skills and capacities in communication, collaboration and problem-solving. This significant know-how is best developed during graduates' tertiary studies.

“…There has traditionally been a strong focus on quantitative data within SET surveys given this is relatively easy to analyse (Whiteley, 2016). For example, educators can compare their scores to those of others to identify relative strengths and weaknesses.…”

Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) surveys are commonly used to measure student learning experience in higher education institutions (Spooren et al., 2013). SET surveys are typically administered at a subject level toward the end of a teaching period, with students encouraged to answer Likert-scale questions as well as provide rich comments that explain these scores and recommend improvements (Cunningham-Nelson et al., 2020). The qualitative comment component of SET survey results is often the most useful data for driving teaching, curriculum, and assessment enhancements. This is due to the specific detail and contextual information that can guide strategic actions. However, in recent years, there has been a growing focus on student experience as a key performance metric for higher education institutions. To improve satisfaction metrics (which are measured numerically), it would be useful to understand the relationship between the topics qualitatively discussed by students and their corresponding satisfaction scores. This can support educators and strategic leaders to focus their efforts on those areas that have the greatest influence on satisfaction scores, thus maximising impact within resourcing and time constraints. PURPOSEThe purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between the topics discussed by students in SET surveys and their corresponding scores in Bachelor of Engineering subjects at a large Australian University. Specifically, the research questions are:1. What attributes/characteristics do students discuss most frequently in SET surveys? 2. How do these attributes/characteristics relate to overall satisfaction scores in SET surveys? APPROACHSET survey results for subjects offered in the Bachelor of Engineering degree taught between 2016 and 2019 at the Queensland University of Technology were extracted. Key subject attributes and educator characteristics were searched for within the text data using lists of phrases. The chi-square test was used to test association between a topic being mentioned and the satisfaction outcome (either positive or negative). OUTCOMES AND CONCLUSIONSThe subject attribute that students mentioned most frequently was teaching quality. The most frequently mentioned educator attribute was organised. Student comments mentioning approachable or engaging terms were more be associated with a positive satisfaction score. These results provide insight into areas which may be targeted to most positively influence student satisfaction scores.
