Table 4 Global pattern in the conversations

From: Qualitative study about the ways teachers react to feedback from resident evaluations

Attitude:

“It makes me think of how residents see me. But I don’t think I can say I’m doing well as a teacher. No, these ratings represent the satisfaction of the residents. But sometimes I do something they don’t like and I still think I’m doing the right things.”(3225 BS, 4 year’s experience, below average results)

Recognition:

“I recognise these results. After every teaching period we evaluate and these evaluations have the same outcomes. When I started my work as a teacher, the reflection sessions were problematic. Now it is more balanced and relaxed. I think I can see that in this report. I also want to say that I appreciate the items about personal characteristics.”(2217 GP, 4 year’s experience, average results)

Self-efficacy and resigning:

“Regarding science teaching I can say I’m done. I notice that, after ten years of teaching, I become a bit pig-headed. At this time I say: I know my qualities and I am more practical than a scientist.”(32226 BS, 9 year’s experience, above average results)
