.Abstract | ||||
A substantial body of research has been conducted on the use of student evaluations of college teaching. This research has mainly centered on the dimensionality, validity, reliability and generalizability of the ratings, and the study of possible biasing factors that could affect the validity of the ratings (Marsh, 1984; Braskamp & Ory, 1994; El -Hassan, 1995). Only a limited number of studies have been conducted on the longitudinal use of student ratings and their possible influence on instructional improvement. This research case study is committed to that purpose. This is a case study of a senior professor in a public research university in the Midwest. The study traces how the instructor uses the feedback from peers, his department head and students. The research is an attempt to better understand the evaluation results as feedback for instructional improvement. |
