有几个相互交织的因素,已被提出来影响学生评价教学(SET)的结果。两个建议的因素是工作量和预期等级。研究表明,在SET和工作量水平上看到的分数呈正相关和负相关。然而,这种关系的方向可能取决于工作量被认为是“好”还是“坏”。为了这项研究的目的,良好的工作量可以被定义为学生认为增加了他或她对手头主题的知识的工作。不良的工作量可以定义为学生认为是“忙碌的工作”,并没有帮助提高他或她对给定主题的知识。本研究旨在确定是否认为高水平的良好工作量和低水平的不良工作量的学生报告更高的SET分数。它还探讨了预期成绩和SET评级之间的关系。来自八个本科课程的学生进行了调查,并提出了类似于在SET上看到的问题。这些问题包括好的和坏的工作量水平,预期成绩,教师和课程满意度以及其他问题,可能会影响学生的看法的课程。结果表明,感知良好的工作量与SET得分呈正相关,感知不良的工作量与SET得分呈负相关。期望成绩也与SET评分呈正相关。良好和不良的工作负载值显著预测
There are several intermingled factors that have been proposed to influence the results seen on student evaluations of teaching (SETs). Two suggested factors are workload and expected grade. Research has suggested both a positive and negative correlation with scores seen on SETs and workload levels. However, the direction of the relationship may depend upon whether the workload was perceived as “good” or “bad.” For the purposes of this study, good workload can be defined as work that the student felt increased his or her knowledge of the subject at hand. Bad workload can be defined as work that the student considered to be “busy work,” and did not help to advance his or her knowledge of the given subject. This study set out to determine if students that perceive higher levels of good workload and lower levels of bad workload report higher SET scores. It also explores the relationship between expected grade and SET ratings. Students from eight undergraduate courses were surveyed and asked questions similar to those seen on SETs. These included questions about good and bad workload levels, expected grade, teacher and course satisfaction as well as other questions that may influence a student’s perception of the course. The results indicated that the amount of perceived good workload was positively correlated with SET scores and the amount of perceived bad workload was negatively correlated with SET scores. Expected grade was also positively correlated with SET ratings. Good and bad workload values significantly predicted
