    • Chism, N.V.N. (2006). Teaching awards: What do they award? The Journal of Higher Education, 77(4), 589-617. – journal article about teaching awards in higher education, primarily considering three dimensions used in judging nominated candidates: criteria, evidence and standards. The author disregarded the standards in the analysis as they were not included in any of the programs. The study included a random sample of 144 teaching awards in 85 institutions located in 33 states. The author recognized that the evidence was detached from the criteria. Among all the 144 award programs, only two had the evidence aligned with the criteria for their awards. Criteria of awards selection sometimes are not specified, and if specified, usually take the shape of eligibility requirements. The results of this paper show the ambiguity of the conceptualization and evaluation of teaching practices in higher education. In an attempt to identify the criteria of excellent teaching, the author presented the results that merged from various studies, which identified three main factors: organization, communication and fairness in grading and providing feedback. Additional factors were also identified, which are rapport, clarity, enthusiasm, flexibility, and assigned workload, and mastery of subject matter. The author concluded with two recommendations: to identify the criteria of these awards and to align these criteria with the evidence required.
