Münster Questionnaire for Evaluation – Additional Module Digital Teaching [MQFEAMDT-10]

Description

The Münster Questionnaire for Evaluation – Additional Module Digital Teaching (MQFEAMDT-10), originally titled Münsteraner Fragebogen zur Evaluation – Zusatzmodul digitale Lehre (MFE-ZdL), is a specialized evaluation instrument developed to assess digital teaching in higher education.

The questionnaire is designed to systematically capture students’ perceptions and experiences regarding different aspects of online and technology-supported teaching. It contains 10 items and can be used as an additional module alongside broader course evaluation instruments.

The tool was developed in the context of higher education evaluation at the University of Münster and became particularly relevant with the expansion of online and hybrid teaching formats.

Purpose

The primary purpose of the MQFEAMDT-10 is to assess the quality, organization, and effectiveness of digital teaching from the students’ perspective.

The instrument can provide valuable feedback on how digital learning environments are experienced by students and can help identify both effective teaching practices and areas that may require further improvement.

It may be especially useful for evaluating aspects such as the organization of digital courses, accessibility and use of online learning materials, communication, interaction, and the overall learning experience in technology-supported educational settings.

Areas of Application

The MQFEAMDT-10 is particularly suitable for the evaluation of fully online courses. Depending on the selected items, it may also be applied to:

Hybrid or blended-learning courses, combining face-to-face and online teaching.

Face-to-face courses with substantial digital components, such as online learning platforms, digital materials, recorded lectures, or interactive online activities.

Distance-learning programs, where most or all teaching activities are delivered through digital technologies.

This flexibility makes the instrument relevant to contemporary higher education environments in which digital and blended teaching models are increasingly common.

Scoring

The questionnaire is designed as a brief supplementary evaluation module, allowing students to assess specific characteristics of digital teaching.

Its short format enables rapid completion and facilitates its integration into broader course evaluation procedures without placing a substantial burden on respondents.

Scores can be examined at the level of individual items to identify specific strengths and weaknesses of the digital learning experience. Interpretation should take into account the type of course, teaching format, and technological environment in which the module is applied.

Psychometric Characteristics

The MQFEAMDT-10 was developed as an instrument for systematically assessing students’ perceptions of different aspects of digital teaching.

Its items address distinct components of the digital teaching experience, which means that interpretation is primarily focused on the information provided by the individual items or content areas rather than necessarily on a single overall score.

Evidence concerning its psychometric quality supports its use as a structured evaluation instrument within higher education settings.

Research and Educational Applications

The MQFEAMDT-10 can be used in research examining digital education, online learning, blended learning, educational technology, and teaching quality in higher education.

It can also support universities and other educational institutions in quality assurance processes by providing structured student feedback on digital teaching practices.

The findings may contribute to the improvement of online course design, the refinement of digital learning resources, the development of more effective teaching strategies, and the enhancement of students’ overall learning experience.
