Although the student evaluation of teaching has been extensively researched, no general consensus has been reached about the validity of the process. One contentious issue has been the relationship between the evaluations and learning. If good instruction increases the amount of learning that takes place, then learning and the evaluations should be validly related to each other. A review of the literature shows that attempts to find such a nomological relationship has been complicated by practice, methodology, and interpretation. A meta-analysis of the literature shows that a small average relationship exists between learning and the evaluations but that the association is situational and not applicable to all teachers, academic disciplines, or levels of instruction. It is concluded that the more objectively learning is measured, the less likely it is to be related to the evaluations.

“…Finally, characteristics of the instructor are also believed to influence student ratings of both the instructor and the course (Kierstad, D'Agostino, and Dill 1988;Smith and Kinney 1992;Goldberg and Callahan 1991;Ghorpade and Lackritz 1991;Basow and Silberg 1987). This study examined two faculty characteristics.…”

“…However, some studies of academic rank have shown no differences among differing rank [27,28]. According to Goldberg and Callahan, there is a perception that higher grades lead to higher scores and that not-tenure-track faculty may give higher grades and, therefore, gains higher student evaluations of teaching [29].…”

Abstract-Collaborative teaching can benefit the students with diverse learning characteristics a lot to access and achieve high academic performances. Student evaluations of teaching is widely used as a metric to estimate instructor effectiveness. To estimate the effects of different teachers' characteristics on teaching performance, collaborative teaching was adopted in elective courses in the last several years across an engineering university in this study. About 4000 college students involved in the progress were surveyed to determine the impact of teacher's characteristics on their evaluations of teaching. The results we obtained demonstrated that gender exerts slight influences on the student evaluation of teaching, however, age, academic rank, and experience affect the evaluation greatly. Highly positive responses on the survey in the experiment suggest continuing and expanding the collaborative teaching model in elective courses.
