On the Validity of Student Evaluation of Teaching: The State of the Art
TLDR
The authors provided an extensive overview of the recent literature on student evaluation of teaching (SET) in higher education, based on the SET meta-validation model, drawing upon research reports published in peer-reviewed journals since 2000.Abstract:
This article provides an extensive overview of the recent literature on student evaluation of teaching (SET) in higher education. The review is based on the SET meta-validation model, drawing upon research reports published in peer-reviewed journals since 2000. Through the lens of validity, we consider both the more traditional research themes in the field of SET (i.e., the dimensionality debate, the ‘bias’ question, and questionnaire design) and some recent trends in SET research, such as online SET and bias investigations into additional teacher personal characteristics. The review provides a clear idea of the state of the art with regard to research on SET, thus allowing researchers to formulate suggestions for future research. It is argued that SET remains a current yet delicate topic in higher education, as well as in education research. Many stakeholders are not convinced of the usefulness and validity of SET for both formative and summative purposes. Research on SET has thus far failed to provide c...read more

Meta-analysis of faculty's teaching effectiveness: Student evaluation of teaching ratings and student learning are not related
TL;DR: This article conducted a meta-analysis of all multisection studies and found no significant correlations between student evaluation of teaching (SET) ratings and learning, and suggested that institutions focused on student learning and career success may want to abandon SET ratings as a measure of faculty's teaching effectiveness.

Gender biases in student evaluations of teaching
TL;DR: This article used data from a French university to analyze gender biases in student evaluations of teaching (SETs) and found that male students express a bias in favor of male professors, despite the fact that students appear to learn as much from women as from men.

TL;DR: A review of over 100 years of research on grading considers five types of studies: early studies of the reliability of grades, quantitative studies of composition of K-12 report card grades, survey and interview studies of teachers' perceptions of grade, studies of standards-based grading, and grading in higher education.

Further evidence supporting the validity of both a multidimensional profile and an overall evaluation of teaching effectiveness
Charles A. Burdsal,Paul Harrison +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a multidimensional profile and an overall evaluation of teaching effectiveness are used as valid indicators of student perceptions of effective classroom instruction, and it was found that the average valences were highly positively correlated with the numerical factor scores that make up the multiddimensional profile of teaching effective and with the second-order factor that serves as an overall evaluator.
