Analysis of Differences in Nonteaching Factors Influencing Student Evaluation of Teaching between Engineering and Business Classrooms

In recent years, there have been increasing calls from the government and other organizations to provide easy public access to student evaluations of teaching. Indeed, the increasing ease of displaying and viewing large quantities of information, and competition among universities and majors for students, makes it likely that an era of greater transparency of this type of information is at hand. While students’ evaluation of teaching (SET) is one quantitative metric that rates the instructor, it may be influenced by factors that are often beyond the instructor's control. In this study, we analyze a longitudinal data set from both engineering and business schools of a large public university, and identify factors that influence SET. We show which factors have the highest influence on overall SET scores, and contrast these between engineering and business colleges. Colleges within the same university may have differences in the factors affecting SET, and recognition of this is important in effectively and fairly evaluating SET scores. We also provide recommendations regarding information that should be displayed along with the SET, particularly when SET scores are made public, so that instructors are not unduly penalized when their evaluations can be influenced by factors over which they have no control.     

Testing the Significance of Correlations

A simple problem of the sort often faced by elementary statistics students forms the basis for a discussion of several important hypothesis testing issues. These issues are often overlooked when moving from simple tests of means to bivariate inference problems.     

大学英语教学不能忽视文化差异

大学英语教学的主要目的是培养学生的英语交际能力,它不仅包括语言教学,而且应该包括文化教学.我们在教学中应体现语言交际、非语言交际、交际习俗与礼仪、社会结构与人际关系、价值观念等方面的文化差异.总之,大学英语教学应使学生全面了解英语国家的文化背景和社会风俗习惯,提高学生的跨文化交际能力.     

教学改革与考试改革

教学改革受制于考试改革。高考具有筛选功能,也具有导向功能,应发挥高考的“指挥棒”作用以引导中学教学,推进素质教育。考试改革的方向应由考知识真正转向考能力,扩大能力考查的范围,改进能力考查的方式,使高考成绩反映考生的实际能力而不是对考试的准备程度。     

利用随堂测试提高听力教学效果

听力教学一直是教学活动中的一个薄弱环节,由于方法不得当,虽然花费了大量的精力做了大量的练习,最后却导致学生对听力越来越厌倦。随堂测试形式多样和灵活简便,加之与课堂教学联系紧密,对教师的课堂教学起着十分积极的作用。教师可巧妙的运用课堂中的几分钟,对学生进行随堂测试,这对提高学生的听力理解能力将会达到事半功倍的效果。笔者就随堂测试前,测试中以及测试后,分步骤讨论了如何实施随堂测试。

A Useful Example when Teaching Hypothesis Testing

This article describes an example which is useful when teaching hypothesis testing in order to highlight the interrelationships that exist among the level of significance, the sample size and the statistical power of a test. The example also allows students to see how what they learn in the classroom directly affects the content of some of the commercials that they watch on television.

The Association between Students’ Evaluation of Teaching and Grades

The results of a student evaluation of teaching instrument are analyzed for a semester of classes at a large collegiate business school, at both the graduate and undergraduate academic level. In particular, we concentrate on the relationship between responses to the instrument and student grades. The results show interesting differences, suggesting dissimilarities, especially for gender, academic level, and field. Our research suggests that academic administrators and others need be cautious when they use such data in evaluating teaching.
