By analysing the collected feedback, it is noticeable that the model somehow surprised the interviewees. It made them think (maybe for the first time) about teaching as a process. If we go back to the questionnaire, it is obvious that, in comparison to the CMMI questions catalogue, answering the questions concerning the TeaM takes not so much time (referring to Q1). This is worthwhile when thinking about the model as a part of assessing and improving your work.

Based on the results (Q2), we see that the TeaM needs to be improved regarding the structure of its “and/or” sentences, even though splitting them will yield a slightly larger number of questions and consequently lead to a higher time consumption.

When answering the main question related to the objective of this paper, the TeaM is perceived as interesting from the general point of view of the lecturers at Alpen-Adria-Universität. Providing an improved version of the model (with clearer questions and with no assessor) will further motivate the teachers to use it in practice. Clearly, at least within the scope of the study, the model is applicable by the teachers at Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt. Another benefit to be considered is: by just introducing the TeaM, the idea of seeing their own teaching process in more detail was planted into the heads of the participants. When perceiving TeaM more as a self-assessment framework rather than as a raking generator, then its integration in practice in the educational domain could be greater.
