The evaluation of teaching can be an essential driver for curriculum development. Instruments for teaching evaluation are not only used for the purpose of quality assurance but also in the context of medical education research. Therefore, they must meet the common requirements for reliability and validity. This position paper from the GMA Teaching Evaluation Committee discusses strategic and methodological aspects of evaluation in the context of undergraduate medical education and related courses; and formulates recommendations for the further development of evaluation. First, a four-step approach to the design and implementation of evaluations is presented, then methodological and practical aspects are discussed in more detail. The focus here is on target and confounding variables, survey instruments as well as aspects of implementation and data protection. Finally, possible consequences from evaluation data for the four dimensions of teaching quality (structural and procedural aspects, teachers and outcomes) are discussed.
教学评估可以成为课程发展的重要驱动力。教学评估工具不仅用于质量保证，而且还用于医学教育研究。因此，它们必须满足可靠性和有效性的共同要求。这份来自 GMA 教学评估委员会的立场文件讨论了本科医学教育和相关课程背景下的评估的战略和方法学方面，并为评估的进一步发展制定了建议。首先，提出了设计和实施评估的四步方法，然后更详细地讨论了方法学和实践方面。重点是目标和混杂变量、调查工具以及实施和数据保护方面。最后，讨论了评估数据对教学质量的四个维度（结构和程序方面、教师和结果）可能产生的影响。
