Two Studies on the Validity of the Student Instructional Report.
Centra, John A.
The validity of student ratings of instruction as assessed by the Student Instructional Report are reported in two studies. The first investigated correlations between ratings and achievement in 72 sections of seven courses in an attempt to answer the question: Do students learn more from teachers they rate as more effective? The second study explains the meaning of the ratings by investigating relationships with a number of student, teacher, and course characteristics. (Author/MV)
