TA制度座談會（2009年10月21日）
Lunch Meeting on TA Duties and Evaluation, Oct. 21, 2009



10/21座談會討論事項：

Discussions on the 10/21 Lunch Meeting:

 

Participants:

出席：方依思、王珊珊、史嘉琳、何任遠、何炳德、吳敏嘉、吳雅鳳、李欣穎、林　鶴、林湘漪、俞燕妮、查麗芝卡雅、柏逸嘉、胥嘉陵、馬耀民、高照明、高瑟濡、高維泓、張惠娟、張嘉倩、許文僊、黃淨慧、楊乃冬、楊欣欣、葉德蘭、廖彥棻、蔣宜卿、鮑曉鷗、龍本善

 

 

1.      評鑑值低於3.5的TA不續聘為新規定，上學期許多TA評鑑未達標準並非TA不好，而是溝通上出現問題，能否暫不計較，讓學生以後能繼續擔任TA。

The rule that TAs with evaluation results below 3.5 are no longer eligible is new. Many TAs did not achieve 3.5 last term because there has been problems of communication, not because they were incompetent. Could they still be hired in the future?

 

教學發展中心回應：目前並非規定「永不錄用」。至於是否讓未達標準TA休息一學期或經培訓後繼續擔任工作，尚在研擬當中。

The CTLD’s reply: The current rule does not say these TAs will “never” be eligible again. The CTLD (Center for Teaching and Learning Development) is still considering the possibilities of employing them again after a “time-out” or further training.

 

2.      大學部TA限大四學生擔任，排除許多優秀人選，讓教師尋找TA更加困難，提議讓教師自行判定學生是否有能力勝任TA工作，不受年級限制。

Limiting the qualifications of undergraduate TAs to 4th year students eliminates many ideal candidates, and makes it even more difficult for teachers to find suitable TAs. It is proposed to let the teacher decide whether a student is competent for the job, regardless of what year the TA is in.

 

教學發展中心回應：將商討相關規定是否有修改可能。

The CTLD’s reply: The possibilities of changing the current rules will be deliberated.

 

3.      有些老師課程安排上不需要TA隨時到班上協助，TA工作項目能否做調整。

Some teachers do not find it necessary for TAs to sit in during classes all the time. Could changes be made in this respect?

 

教學發展中心回應：每門課的需求不同，TA與學生的互動方式亦有多種可能，但要讓學生感受到TA的存在，應為起碼要求。

The CTLD’s reply: Each class has its respective needs, and there are many possibilities of interaction between TAs and students, but it should at least be requested that students should be able to feel the “existence” of their TAs.

 

4.      以評鑑值數字決定TA能不能續聘不夠審慎，提議設立專門的委員會，個案審查評鑑值未達標準的TA能否續聘。

The results of the evaluation should not be the only standard in deciding whether a TA remains eligible. It is proposed that a committee be established to inspect case by case whether TAs who have not achieved the standards can still be employed.

 

教學發展中心回應：將考慮為申訴TA成立委員會，決定是否准許繼續擔任。

The CTLD’s reply: It will be considered whether a committee can be established to answer the entreaties of TAs and decide whether they can be employed again.

 

5.      評鑑問題太著重在學生的「感覺」，而非客觀事實的評斷，且內容有許多與外文類教學情況不符，提議修改。

The questions in the evaluation focus too much on how the students “feel” about their TAs, and not enough on objective facts. Nor do the questions necessarily meet the needs of foreign language courses. Several changes are proposed.

 

決議：委請何任遠老師整合意見，提出新的問卷內容，並於11月15日前提供給教學發展中心。

Resolution: Prof. Chris Merkelbach is entrusted with the job of collecting suggestions and putting together a new evaluation sheet to give to the CTLD no later than November 15.
