Reliability-Related Issues in the Context of Student Evaluations of Teaching in Higher Education

Abstract: Student evaluations of teaching (SET) have been the principal instrument to elicit students' opinions in higher education institutions. Many decisions, including high-stake ones, are made based on SET scores reported by students. In this respect, reliability of SET scores is of considerable importance. This paper has an argument that there are some problems in choosing and using of reliability indices in SET context. Three hypotheses were tested: (i) using internal consistency measures is misleading in SET con… Show more

“…Measuring the quality of teaching has become a major component of measuring the success of academic programs and institutions (Bok, 1992;Ewell, 1991;Titus, 2008). SETs based on the rating of instructor and instruction by the students are probably the most utilized data source for evaluating teaching (Kulik, 2001) in most American institutions of higher learning (Kalender, 2015). Titus (2008) asserts that SETs are meant to improve teaching at both the institutional and instructor levels.…”

“…Türkiye'de yapılan bir çalışma(33) dahil yüksek öğrenimde ve tıp fakültelerinde öğrencilerin eğitimi değerlendirdiği çeşitli çalışmalarda iç tutarlılık ölçütleri ile puanlayıcılar arası güvenilirlik ve uyum (IRR, IRA, IRR+IRA) ölçütlerinin ilişkisiz olduğu, IRR ve IRA'nın daha düşük hesaplandığı (0,22-0,29 arası) ve güvenilirlik konusuna tek boyutlu yaklaşmamak gerektiği bildirilmiştir(33)(34)(35)(36). Bu nedenle yaygın kullanılan iç tutarlılık ölçütlerini tek başına kullanmak hatalıdır ve puanlayıcılar arası uyum ve güvenilirlik ile grup içi korelasyon değerleri hesaplanarak puanlama yapan öğrenci ve/veya öğretim üyelerinden elde edilen sonuçların güvenilirliğinin değerlendirilmesi gerekir.…”
