The Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) provides a valuable source of data about student satisfaction regarding the courses that they study at Australian universities. It provides a body of data which is collected systematically at the national level, and has been shown to be a stable, reliable and meaningful measure of course satisfaction. The CEQ data have become increasingly important in institutional performance evaluation, however, not without controversies. The current review provides valuable insights into the CEQ methodology, comments on its significance and usage and highlights some of its major limitations. It also suggests possible means of improvement of the CEQ, imperative towards quality teaching, learning and evaluation in the Australian higher education system.  \nThe need for teaching evaluation  \nTwenty years ago, Scriven asserted that ‘teacher evaluation is a disaster’ because ‘the practices are shoddy and the principles are unclear’(Scriven, 1981, p. 244) . He also claimed that the practice did not reflect current knowledge and that pressure to reform came from outside the universities, specifically government and the courts (Scriven, 1981) .  \nRegarding evaluation, Cannon (2001) asserts the importance of clarity as a necessary step to addressing accusations of shoddy practices. However, the process might  \nnot be straightforward since the domain of evaluation is extremely complex (Johnson & Ryan, 2000) . Scriven (1991) defines evaluation as an analytical process of determining the merit, worth, or value of something. He links the process as involving two dimensions, gathering data and then using the data for judgment and decision making with respect to agreed-on standards.  \nAs a response to external pressure, the past two decades have witnessed focused efforts to improve teaching through research, publication, consultancy, evaluation, and professional development (Cannon, 2001) . Governments are taking a close interest in higher education and  \nvol. 55, no. 1, 2013 Australian higher education and the CEQ, Joy Talukdar, Tania Aspland & Poulomee Datta 27  \nA U S T R A L I A N U N I V E R S I T I E S ’ R E V I E W  \nare using mechanisms such as performance-based funding to drive change (Cannon, 2001) .A gradual reorientation of policies and practices toward learning rather than teaching (Barr & Tagg, 1995; Norris & Malloch, 1997) has had implications for evaluation practices (Cannon, 2001).The role of evaluators in shaping the learning and teaching environment of universities gains importance, in tandem with the seriousness about the quality of student learning and its outcomes (Cannon, 2001).This is achievable by aligning evaluation policy and practice with institutional goals (Biggs, 1996, 1999) .  \nHowever, the autonomous, teacher-centred construct was never a true representation of all teaching in higher education (Cannon, 2001). It is likely to be even less true in the future, as the diversity of approaches to learning and teaching expands in response to research and development (Centra, 2000) . The context for teaching has changed in other ways, too (Cannon, 2001) . One imperative for many universities has been to keep a keen eye on the competitive business environment, and this change has been accompanied by the introduction of several evaluation and quality assurance tools, such as benchmarking and audit, that have their origins in the business world (Alstete, 1996; Holmes & Brown, 2000) .  \nGiven that teaching involves team work, a valid evaluation of teaching should focus less on individual instructor","cbCaikUgiTbCQBTD","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikUgiTbCQBTD","pdf",188582,"English","# The Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ)\n## Rationale for teaching evaluation\n## Role of evaluators and evaluation practices\n## Theoretical framework and performance indicators\n## Types and purpose of indicators","[{\"question\":\"What is the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) used for in Australian universities?\",\"answer\":\"The CEQ provides systematically collected national data on student satisfaction with courses.
