Tamim, Rana M.; Lowerison, Gretchen; Schmid, Richard F.; Bernard, Robert M.; Abrami, Philip C.; Dehler, Christina – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2008
The purpose of this research is to investigate the relationship between computer technology's role and students' perceptions about course effectiveness. Students from two universities (one Canadian, n = 1465; one American, n = 831) completed a 71-item questionnaire addressing different aspects of their learning experience in a given course. Factor…

Undergraduate students participated in a study to measure the effect of variables influencing teacher rating. Overall, students rated their instructors more positively when they believed evaluation was sponsored by the faculty rather than a student group. (Author/DEP)

Abrami, Philip C.; Mizener, Deborah A. – American Educational Research Journal, 1983
The relationship between student/teacher attitude similarity and teacher rating form (TRF) scores is examined. Students (N=345) completed a 24-item attitude scale, once for themselves and once for their instructors, and a 28-item TRF. Attitude similarity is of minimum importance when evaluations are used to make gross distinctions among…

Abrami, Philip C.; Mizener, Deborah A. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1985
The present study addressed the validity of student ratings of instructional effectiveness by exploring the relations among student ratings, course performance, and the perceived attitude similarity of students and their instructors. Findings fail to support the claim that perceived attitude similarity is a substantial source of bias in student…

Abrami, Philip C.; Mizener, Deborah A. – 1982
The relationship between course ratings, student achievement, and the perceived attitude similarity of students and their instructors were explored with 645 students enrolled in 41 courses taught at English-language institutions in Montreal, Quebec. These institutions provide instruction intermediate between secondary school and the university.…

Abrami, Philip C.; And Others – 1978
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effects of teacher grading standards on student ratings of teacher performance. In experiment one, three teacher characteristics were factorially manipulated: instructor expressiveness (high, low), lecture content (high, low), and grading standards (B, C+, C). In experiment two, student incentive…

Abrami, Philip C.; d'Apollonia, Sylvia – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1991
Limitations of the confirmatory factor analysis conducted by H. W. Marsh to demonstrate the multidimensionality of a rating form to assess student evaluation of teaching effectiveness are discussed. A secondary analysis suggests that dimensionality is not stable across solutions and a global factor can be retrieved. (SLD)

Mizener, Deborah A.; Abrami, Philip C. – 1981
The relationship between student/teacher attitude similarity and teacher evaluations was studied in a group of 222 students who completed a 24-item attitude scale, once for themselves and once for their instructors, and a 28-item teacher rating form (TRF). A significant, moderate-sized correlation between assumed similarity and TRF scores for…
