Student evaluation of teacher effectiveness (SETE) has become commonplace as one measure of teaching performance in higher education. A study was performed to determine which criteria taken from several SETE instruments is considered more or less critical to learning by students. The data was gathered in the form of a magnitude measurement scale from students from multiple institutions with different missions and demographics. An analysis of the similarities and differences among the sample population, i.e. students, was performed and a discussion of the results is given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
