TEACHING GOALS INVENTORY
Self-Scorable = Version

PURPOSE


The Teaching Goals Inventory (TGI) is = a=20 self-assessment of instructional goals. Its purpose is three-fold: (1) = To help=20 college teachers become more aware of what they want to accomplish in = individual=20 courses; (2) To help faculty locate Classroom Assessment Techniques they = can=20 adapt and use to assess how well they are achieving their teaching and = learning=20 goals; and, (3) To provide a starting point for discussions of teaching = and=20 learning goals among colleagues.

1. DIRECTIONS

Please select ONE course you are currently teaching. Respond = to each=20 item on the Inventory in relation to that particular course. (Your = responses=20 might be quite different if you were asked about your overall = teaching=20 and learning goals, for example, or the appropriate instructional goals = for your=20 discipline.)

Just to remind yourself, please print the title of the = specific course=20 you are focusing on below:

______________________________________

Please rate the importance of each of the 52 goals listed below to = the=20 specific course you have selected. Assess each goal in terms of what you = deliberately aim to have your students accomplish, rather than in terms = of the=20 goal's general worthiness or overall importance to your institution's = mission.=20 There are no "right" or "wrong" answers; only personally accurate or = inaccurate=20 ones.

For each goal, circle only one response on the 1 to 5 = rating=20 scale. You may find it helpful to quickly read through all 52 goals=20 before rating their relative importance.

In relation to the course you are focusing on, indicate whether = each goal=20 you rate is: 


(5) ESSENTIAL --        A goal you always/nearly always try =
to achieve
                        (81% to 100% of the time)
(4) VERY IMPORTANT --   A goal you very often try to =
achieve
                        (51% to 80% of the time)
(3) IMPORTANT --        A goal you sometimes  try to =
achieve;
                        (21% to 50% of the time)
(2) UNIMPORTANT --      A goal you rarely try to achieve; =
or,
                        (1% to 20% of the time)
(1) NOT APPLICABLE --   A goal you never try to =
achieve.
