“…There are several quality standards that can serve as guidance in designing student surveys and in evaluating quality of survey data (cf. Alderman et al 2012;Harvey 2003;Porter 2004;Richardson 2005): 1. Surveys have an explicit stated purpose which leads to quality enhancement.…”

“…Cuarto, si bien RepGrid fortalece el método de los cuestionarios en el proceso de la evaluación docente, su efectividad final está determinada por su utilización en conjunto con otros métodos de evaluación del desempeño (Risquez, Vaughan, y Murphy, 2015). Por ejemplo, evaluación de pares y portafolios de evidencias (Alderman, Towers, y Bannah, 2012). Quinto y último, en este trabajo fue posible desarrollar una propuesta metodológica en base a la técnica RepGrid para entender cómo son evaluadas las habilidades docentes en educación superior por parte de los alumnos, la cual fue aplicada en una prueba piloto que confirma su eficiencia y pertinencia.…”

* Autor a quien debe ser dirigida la correspondenciaRecibido Ago. 5, 2015; Aceptado Oct. 14, 2015; Versión final Nov. 19, 2015, Publicado Abr. 2016 Resumen El propósito de este estudio es presentar una propuesta metodológica para elicitar los constructos utilizados por los estudiantes para evaluar las habilidades y desempeños docentes. La propuesta se centra en la utilización de la Teoría de Constructos Personales y de su técnica de mapas cognitivos, conocida como Grilla de Repertorio (Repertory Grid). En particular, la propuesta describe las características deseables de los entrevistados, un proceso consistente en cuatro pasos, y el análisis posterior sugerido. Este enfoque se orienta a fortalecer las mayores debilidades de los procesos de evaluación docente: (i) instrumentos adhoc no validados, (ii) basados en teorías que no reflejan la realidad y madurez de un contexto, (iii) conveniencia política y (iv) una baja incidencia y participación percibida por los estudiantes. El estudio muestra que si bien RepGrid fortalece el método de los cuestionarios en el proceso de la evaluación docente, su efectividad final está determinada por su utilización en conjunto con otros métodos de evaluación del desempeño. Palabras clave: grilla de repertorio, evaluación de habilidades docentes, universidad, propuesta The Repertory Grid Technique: A Method for the Study of Cognition in Teaching Skills Assessment AbstractThe aim of this study is to present a proposal to elicit the constructs used by students to evaluate the abilities and teaching performance. The proposal focuses on the use of personal construct theory and its cognitive mapping technique, known as Repertory Grid. In particular, the proposal describes the desirable characteristics of respondents, a process consisting of four steps, and subsequent analysis suggested. This approach is intended to strengthen major weakness of teaching assessment processes: (i) ad-hoc not validated instruments, (ii) based on theories that do not reflect reality and maturity of a context, (iii) political convenience, and (iv) a low incidence and perceived participation by students. The study shows that, although RepGrid strengthen the questionnaire methodology in the process of teaching evaluation, its final effectivity is determined by its use in conjunction with other evaluation methods.

“…In light of students' multiple roles in education nowadays (Sharrock, 2000;Lomas, 2007), various approaches to soliciting students' feedback on their educational and related experiences have been developed to inform actions and decisions on quality assurance. Reviews of these approaches and the quantitative instruments (namely questionnaires or inventories) employed by them can be found in the literature (Richardson, 2005;Law, 2010;Alderman et al, 2012).…”

Shortening the Inventory of Learning Styles for quality assurance in a Hong Kong post-secondary education context

A Chinese translation of the 100-item Inventory of Learning Styles (ILS) is shortened as a 60-item instrument (which comprises 20 three-item scales) by removal of items that make the least contribution to the ILS scales from both alpha value and factor loading perspectives. The reliability and validation for administering the resultant 60-item ILS in the context of Hong Kong post-secondary education were assessed via analysis and re-analysis of results collected from two studies. The first study involved 1572 students enrolled in different kinds of post-secondary programmes in 2005; the second study involved 206 students enrolled in a special one-year, post-secondary programme in 2010. The internal consistency of most of the scales in the 60-item ILS was found to be good or satisfactory, except for three scales for which a need for further investigation or refinement is indicated. The exploratory factor analyses conducted in the two studies found factor patterns that closely resembled each other, with defining features comprising an active meaning-directed learning pattern that is mixed with reproduction-directed elements, an undirected learning pattern and different versions of a passive idealistic learning pattern. Overall, the current research provides qualified support for the reliability and validity of the shortened ILS for application in the context of Hong Kong post-secondary education.
