Arabic Abstract
One of the most common and disputed practices in colleges and universities is the use of student evaluations of teaching (SET) to assess lecturers’ effectiveness.
Student evaluations of teaching effectiveness or course evaluations are used at most universities and colleges throughout the world and many researchers have analyzed their use in the classroom.
The evaluation of courses and lecturers by students provides a useful view of the quality of teaching from the consumers’ point of view.
The judgment of course design, the adequacy of material coverage, and the appropriateness of course syllabus, assignments, and measurements of student learning, can only be done by an expertise in the field.
The input data for the research was collected from one of the departments.
Statistical and correlation relation between student evaluations of lecturers as they advance in their courses was det.
Ermined.
The study examined the impact of 15 aspects involved in student evaluation of teaching (SET).
There was significant correlation between the evaluated criteria by student but with little change over the 4 years covered.
The four items rated as most influential in the overall effectiveness of lecturers’ teaching are ranked as follows: (1) clear explanation, (2) effective use of class time, (3) stimulating course materials and (4) comprehensive examination.
The results showed that evaluation items in SETs are not equally influential in their effects on students’ overall rating of teaching effectiveness.
Thus this study revealed that a prioritized list of aspects needs to be developed, and efforts should be concentrated on improving these aspects to increase effectiveness and efficiency in rating of teaching.
Improvement strategies for lecturers as well as future implications of the effective use of SET at the department or college level are discussed.
