Methodological Issues Regarding Student Evaluation Of Teachers: A Pilot Study, Craig Monroe, Mark G. Borzi

Association for Communication Administration Bulletin

This article interrogates prevailing student evaluation instruments in higher education, assessing their construct validity through exploratory factor analysis of a campus wide rating scale. The analysis reveals that a single ambiguous factor explains negligible variance, suggesting ratings measure student attraction rather than pedagogical competence.
