Validity of Student Ratings of Instruction: What We Know and What We Do Not Know.

Abrami, Philip C.; And Others

Journal of Educational Psychology, v82 n2 p219-31 Jun 1990

Primary research on student ratings of instruction is reviewed, and questions about the validity of such ratings as measures of teacher effectiveness are explored using nomological coding of 43 validity studies to examine causes of variability in coefficients of validity. Deficiencies of prior analyses and research needs are identified. (SLD)
