On the Effectiveness of Students’ Evaluative Feedback to University Instructors

Abstract: This review deals with the use of student ratings as feedback to teachers. Evidence suggests that differences in the source and nature of the feedback and in the attributes of feedback recipients partly explain the differential effect which feedback has on teachers. Issues associated with the research design of feedback studies are also surveyed. The review suggests the existence of a minimal effect at best of feedback on instructional improvement at the university level. Suggestions are offered for improving … Show more

“…Also the literature on the behavioral implications of SET mechanisms spans several decades. Rotem and Glasman (1979) provide an early warning on the source and nature of the bias that characterizes SET, and Kroman (1978) underlines how the teacher's and student's perspectives in SET may be both limited in their focus and incapable to take the other side's position properly into account. Brown and Saks (1987) analyze teachers' time allocation choices and consider how strategic behavior can affect them.…”

“…A number of extraneous variables are viewed as contributing to this lack of validity. These variables include instructor personality and popularity, sex and rank of the professor, class size, class level, and expected grade (Rotem & Glassman, 1979). For example, ratings were found to be marginally higher but not statistically significant in small classes, discussion classes, classes in the humanities (Seldin, 1993), and electives (Arden, 1989).…”
