Teaching evaluation practices: An early career practitioner’s reflections

Evaluation is an integral part of good professional practice and the systematic development of teaching expertise. In this paper I look into some of the sources of evaluation in the Hospitality, Events and Tourism subject area and note that evaluation practice in the subject area varies according to its purpose and the actors undertaking it. I contend that if evaluation is to feed our practice, we must triangulate evaluation data received from various sources. Such an integrated
approach to evaluation would be helpful as it can capture a comprehensive picture of various teaching and learning practices.
