Student Evaluation of Lecture and Teaching Effectiveness in Higher Education
Ozcan, Kenan
Educational Research and Reviews, v8 n8 p378-389 Apr 2013
As good teachers may have great influence on positive outcomes of students, educational systems should provide feedback about their professional performances in any way. Otherwise, not only do teachers fail but the system fails. It is claimed that students have some reasons while they are evaluating the lecture and teaching. This study was conducted to discover what students' reasons are while evaluating the lecture and teaching. Results reveal that students from colleges of education at developing universities evaluated lecture and teaching more favorably compared to students at developing and newly-established universities. Another result shows that students with higher Grade Point Averages (GPAs) tend to evaluate lecture and teachers more favorably. Finally, significance was discovered between students' views in terms of newly-established universities and developing universities, classroom size, their grades and students' GPAs.
