In responding to a question on whether or not Student Ratings of Teacher Effectiveness, I wanted to connect you with the following resources for your own personal review.The Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence at Penn State provides the following website with interesting support information: https://www.schreyerinstitute.psu.edu/srte
Dr. Fern Willits, a distinguished professor emerita, has lead a research team going back decades looking at SRTEs at Penn State. Here are some of her publications:
- Perceptions of Faculty and Students Concerning the Elements of Teaching Quality (2011)
- Undergraduate Students’ Evaluations of Teaching Quality at University Park. (2011)
Here is a 1997 report on SRTES: http://www.opia.psu.edu/planning_research/reports/srte/1997/analysis
I found an article from NPR surrounding gender biases in teaching evaluations, but their argument includes mention of overall outcome of student ratings of teaching. I won't spoil the ending...
