(885) APPLICATION OF TEXT MINING AND VISUALIZATION TOOLS FOR ANALYSING PEER OBSERVATION NOTES

摘要

In the project of peer observation of faculty staff at the Faculty of Administration, the University of Ljubljana, the perceptions of teachers and students about pedagogical process were investigated. During the observation process in lecture rooms peer teachers/observers and students/observers made notes by filling in the observation sheets. The aim of the project was to investigate how both stakeholders experience the pedagogical process and what they detect as strengths, weaknesses or opportunities for improvements in the teaching and learning process. The survey compared the students’ observations sheets in order to find out what the students recognize as important elements of teaching practice and possible similarities and differences in their observations. We used some text mining technique to extract information and find patterns from the observers’ notes.
