Objectives: This study aims to identify the effects of evaluation on teaching and discusses improvements in the work of the evaluation office. Methods: Teaching evaluation data from 2006 to 2009 was collected and analyzed. Additional surveys were conducted to collect the perceptions of students, faculty members, peer reviewers, deans and chairs about teaching evaluation. Results: Evaluation scores for more than half of faculty members increased, significantly more for junior compared with senior faculty, over the period of the study. Student attendance and satisfaction with elective courses increased after interventions identified by teaching evaluations. All participants believed that teaching evaluation had positive effects on teaching quality and classroom behavior. Seventythree percent of faculty believed the evaluation helped to improve their teaching skills. Faculty perceptions of the helpfulness of teaching evaluation were related to the speed in which evaluations were reported, the quality of comments received, and the attitudes held by faculty towards evaluation. All the faculty members, chairs and deans read evaluation reports, and most of them believed the reports were helpful. Conclusions: Teaching evaluation at SMMU was perceived to improve both the teaching quality and classroom behavior. Faster feedback and higher quality comments are perceived to provide more help to faculty members.

“…From the above it is obvious that evaluation of instruction means that students as consumers of instruction are made to express their opinion and feeling concerning the effectiveness of the lecturer's instructional process and activities during the semester and the extent to which they benefited from that process. In addition quality assurance in teaching should be the main objective of universities and colleges and methods ofeva1uating teachers' classroom instruction should critically consider students' rating a valid and reliable method According to Nakpodia (2011) and in agreement with Banda (2012), the evaluation of lecturers' instruction should include the evaluation of efficiency in the relevant subject matter, communication skills, commitment to facilitating students learning and the degree of concern for individual students. Therefore, the best approach to the evaluation of lecturers should be the students' rating system where the students would assess and determine the skills and effectiveness of their teachers among other methods.…”

“…Therefore, the best approach to the evaluation of lecturers should be the students' rating system where the students would assess and determine the skills and effectiveness of their teachers among other methods. The rating of the lecturers by the students on variables that have to do with their professional qualifications and ethics will help to check such moral vices prevalent in our tertiary institutions as sexual harassment, and commercialization of scores and grades (Banda, 2012), concluded. Students are the consumers of teaching consequently, are in a better position to evaluate teaching effectiveness.…”

This study was designed to investigate teachers’ and students’ perception of students’ rating as a tool for evaluating language instruction in College of Education. It examined the percentage of teachers and students who perceived students’ rating as a tool for evaluating language instruction; it also tested to ascertain the significant differences in the perception of students’ rating as a tool for evaluating teachers’ language instruction. The population of the study comprised all the fourteen (14) lecturers and all the two hundred and twenty one (221) Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) students of the English Department, College of Education, Warri in the 2015/2016 academic session. The manageable size of the population informed the researchers’ choice of purposively using the entire population as the sample for the study. Two research questions were answered and three research hypotheses were tested at 0.05 level of significance. Two instruments titled Teachers’ Perception of Students’ Rating (TPSR) with a reliability coefficient of 0.68 and Students’ Perception of Students’ Rating (SPSR) with a reliability coefficient of 0.87 were used to gather data for the study. The data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA). The result of the study showed that there is no significant difference in the perception of NCE students on students’ rating as a tool for evaluating teachers’ instruction but data analysis revealed a significant difference in the perception of NCE students of different academic levels on students’ rating as a tool for evaluating teachers’ instruction. Furthermore, there is no significant difference in the perception of teachers of different academic qualifications and years of teaching experience on students’ rating as a tool for evaluating teachers’ instruction. It was concluded that students’ rating of teachers’ instruction should be adopted for quality education and academic excellence instead of the use of publications, paper presentation at conferences and workshops attendance for annual performance evaluation for teachers in College Education, Warri and similar institutions.
