On the Invalidity of Student Ratings for Administrative Personnel Decisions
Sheehan, Daniel S.
Journal of Higher Education, 46, 6, 687-700, Nov/Dec 75
A variety of findings are reviewed that make questionable the validity of using student ratings of instructional effectiveness in making personnel decisions. Comparability of student ratings and sources of invalidity are discussed, and a proposal is made for the use of student rating data by individual teachers in an instructional improvement program.
