Research Validation Summary
Based on Research Into:
- Relevant theory and/or data
Studied Using:
- Iterative use of rubric
- Inter-rater reliability
- Expert review
Research Conducted:
- At multiple institutions
- By multiple research groups
- Peer-reviewed publication
The GATEs are extensively research validated. They were developed based on diverse sources of evidence, including scholarly work on teaching evaluation, common practices used in teaching evaluation reform efforts, and systematic interviews with 25 department faculty and chairs. The GATEs are designed to describe the range of practices observed in these departments. The GATEs were further refined and developed through pilot testing, think-aloud interviews, observation, and repeated application of the rubric. High inter-rater reliability was achieved, and results from 12 STEM departments were analyzed to demonstrate validity of the rubric categories.
