Benton, Stephen L.; Li, Dan – IDEA Center, Inc., 2019
Periodically, articles reporting research on student ratings of instruction (SRI), aka student evaluations of teaching, appear in the higher-education press. This literature often summarizes studies that challenge the validity and reliability of SRI. However, before drawing a conclusion about a quantitative study touted in the media, readers…

Benton, Stephen L. – IDEA Center, Inc., 2019
IDEA's Teaching Essentials (TE) is a useful tool for gathering student feedback on how frequently an instructor exhibits each of seven behaviors that correlate most highly with student perceptions of course and teaching excellence. TE is appropriate for instructors who desire quick, sound student feedback on (a) displaying personal interest in…

Teacher clarity is widely considered an essential element of effective teaching and student success. The same holds true in the IDEA Student Ratings of Instruction system (SRI). On Diagnostic Feedback (DF), the item "Explained course material clearly and concisely," which IDEA considers a measure of teacher clarity, has consistently been…

Benton, Stephen L.; Young, Suzanne – IDEA Center, Inc., 2018
Effective instructor evaluation is complex and requires the use of multiple measures--formal and informal, traditional and authentic--as part of a balanced evaluation system. The student voice, a critical element of that balanced system, is appropriately complemented by instructor self-assessment and the reasoned judgments of other relevant…

This technical report describes the results of analyses performed on data collected from 2013 to 2017, using the IDEA Feedback System for Administrators (FSA). The FSA is used to gather impressions from core constituents about an administrator's performance of relevant administrative roles, as well as her/his leadership style, interpersonal…

Li, Dan; Benton, Stephen L. – IDEA Center, Inc., 2018
The authors conducted a study to investigate whether personnel ratings of administrators and department chairs differ by the ratees' gender and the Carnegie classification of their institutions. The authors inferred the genders (male or female) from first names and analyzed personnel ratings for 1,011 administrators and 762 department chairs…

Despite the nearly equal gender ratio of faculty members in the United States (National Center for Education Statistics, 2016), women are still underrepresented in certain STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) fields (Committee on Equal Opportunities in Science and Engineering, 2015). Also, women tend to hold lower academic…

Benton, Stephen L.; Li, Dan – IDEA Center, Inc., 2017
In the IDEA Student Ratings of Instruction (SRI) system, students complete self-ratings of their "work habits," "motivation," and "background preparation." Average course ratings on these characteristics are important variables used in adjusting scores on student ratings of progress on relevant objectives (PRO),…

Li, Dan; Benton, Stephen L. – IDEA Center, Inc., 2017
In the study evaluated in this report, the authors asked what effect survey length has on student non-response rates to individual items on IDEA's "Diagnostic Feedback" (DF) and "Learning Essentials" (LE) forms. The approach was to analyze individual student ratings of classes contained in the 2015-2016 IDEA-CL database.…

Data from student ratings of instruction (SRI) are used ubiquitously as a key element in providing instructors with valuable feedback and evaluators with critical student input. Nonetheless, calls for the elimination of SRI continue to appear in academic journals and higher education periodicals. This paper brings to bear the huge body of research…

Revising the IDEA Student Ratings of Instruction System 2002-2011 Data. IDEA Technical Report No. 18
Benton, Stephen L.; Li, Dan; Brown, Ron; Guo, Meixi; Sullivan, Patricia – IDEA Center, Inc., 2015
This report describes the processes undertaken to revise the IDEA Student Ratings of Instruction (SRI) system. The previous revision occurred in 1999, as described in IDEA Technical Report No. 11, "Revising the IDEA System for Obtaining Student Ratings of Instructors and Courses" (Hoyt, Chen, Pallett, & Gross, 1999). The procedures…

Benton, Stephen L.; Li, Dan – IDEA Center, Inc., 2015
Most institutions of higher education have some system in place for collecting student ratings of instruction (SRI) data from classes on a systematic basis. SRIs are a relatively simple way of gauging student perceptions of teaching and the course. Since the initial development of IDEA SRI in 1975, much has changed about higher education. Many…

Benton, Stephen L.; Li, Dan – IDEA Center, Inc., 2015
This study examined which teaching methods are most highly correlated with student progress on relevant course objectives in first- and second-year (lower-level) general education courses. We specifically sought to identify teaching methods that distinguish progress made by students taking a general education course from that made by students…
