STUDENT EVALUATION OF UNIVERSITY TEACHING QUALITY - ANALYSIS OF A QUESTIONNAIRE FOR A SAMPLE OF UNIVERSITY-STUDENTS IN SPAIN

This study provides an analysis of the dimensionality and transituational invariance of a shortened version of the Complutense University Teachers Evaluation Questionnaire (CUTEQ-R), a 22-item instrument designed to evaluate student perceptions of university teaching quality. A total of 36,589 university students enrolled in 1,651 course subjects taught by 3,705 faculty resulted in a total of 194,885 student evaluations. Factor analysis procedures yielded two factors identified as (a) teaching competence demonstrated and (b) motivational skills accounting for approximately 71% of the total variance. Internal-consistency estimates of reliability (coefficient alpha) for the total scale and for each of the two factors for the total sample and subsamples were in the .90s.
