“…In our case, learning is mainly related to the achievement of practical skills, which is a context where selfevaluation can be more reliable than in general cases as found by Stehle et al (2012) .…”

“…However, there is evidence that students' perceptions of learning might be more reliable when they assess deeper, more practical learning, which is similar to the scenario in capstone courses. In a study by Stehle et al (2012 ), medical students' perceptions of learning on a course did not correlate (r = −0.10) with their results of a multiple-choice examination, but correlated strongly (r = 0.50) with the results of a test where they showed their practical skills with simulated patients or simulators.…”

“…It is debatable whether student evaluations of teaching are, in and of themselves, valid or reliable indicators of what students have learned. Research indicates that teaching evaluations can vary by instructor gender and rank, whether a course is required or an elective, class size, final course grades, and other characteristics (Johnson et al 2013;Stehle et al 2012). Other studies have found that students are quite able to distinguish between learning and being entertained in the classroom (Peer and Babad 2014).…”

Although rising costs have been a general trend in higher education since the early 20th century, a fundamental restructuring of the higher education marketplace is currently underway. In recent decades students and their parents have been forced to finance college education through greater and greater debt.As a result, students and their families are increasingly demanding that institutions of higher learning provide evidence of value. Universities must now ask what methods of instruction most efficiently expand a student's knowledge base-can instruction that has been traditionally supplied in a physical classroom be delivered more effectively at lower cost through digital means? If so, how can these savings be measured and can they be propagated across an entire curriculum? This paper examines the effects of using Statecraft, a commercially-available online simulation, in teaching international relations. The simulation was used in two semesters of an undergraduate international relations course as part of a flipped classroom pedagogy, in which Statecraft replaced lectures and other instructional activities that required a physical classroom. The study demonstrates that a significant portion of instruction can be outsourced to an online provider of standardized content with little to no negative change in pedagogical outcomes.

“…For example, Stehle, Spinath, & Kadmon (2012) investigated the correlation of teaching evaluation scores and two different criteria of student learning: a multiple-choice test and a practical examination. The results showed that there was a strong positive correlation between teaching evaluation scores and the practical examination scores but no significant correlation between teaching evaluation scores and multiple-choice test scores.…”

The purpose of the study is to explore the influence of teaching evaluations on teachers in that they might try to please their students by giving higher grades in order to get higher teaching evaluation scores. To achieve this purpose, the study analyzed the correlations between teaching evaluation scores, student's final grades and course fail rates, and it also examined whether students' final scores and course fail rates are important predictors of teaching evaluation scores. The study used teaching evaluation scores and students' final grades of the courses offered in the fall term of academic year 2014 and the spring term of academic year 2015 in one university in Taiwan as research samples. The results showed that both student's final grades and course fail rates are predictors of teaching evaluation scores. There is a positive correlation between teaching evaluation scores and students' final grades, and a negative correlation between teaching evaluation scores and course fail rates. Based on the findings, the study inferred that the implementation of teaching evaluations may influence teachers to give better grades and lower course requirements to please their students in order to get higher teaching evaluation scores.
