Abstract

Abstract The main objective of this article is to analyze the perception that students have of the professor evaluation system in their universities. Although in most universities in the Dominican Republic the evaluation is done by coordinators, professors and students, in this study the situation is investigated based on the results analyzed in the opinions of 347 students from different disciplines of the Education career of seven higher education institutions in this country. Thus, a questionnaire of open ended and closed ended questions is applied, which makes it possible to verify the level of satisfaction that these actors have in the professor evaluation process. The participating population is selected by means of a non-probabilistic, incidental casual method, directly choosing the participants of the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth semesters. The results indicate that students consider it of great value to be taken into account in the evaluation process of their professors, who appreciate the level of reliability of the application of the evaluation instrument; but that the evaluation could be improved by taking into account other components that do not appear in it and integrating open-ended questions, which allow them to express their opinions more accurately. The results are relevant for the design of a new professor evaluation system.

从学生的角度看大学教授的评价

摘要本文的主要目的是分析学生对高校教授评价制度的看法。虽然在多米尼加共和国的大多数大学中，评估是由协调员、教授和学生完成的，但在本研究中，情况是根据对该国七所高等教育机构的347名来自不同学科的学生的意见进行分析的结果来调查的。因此，我们采用了开放式和封闭式问题的问卷，从而可以验证这些参与者在教授评价过程中的满意度。参与人群的选择采用非概率的、偶然的随机方法，直接选择第五、第六、第七、第八和第九学期的参与者。结果表明，学生认为在教授的评价过程中应将其考虑在内，教授对评价工具应用的可靠性水平表示赞赏;但是，如果考虑到没有出现在评估中的其他部分，并整合开放式问题，评估可以得到改进，这使他们能够更准确地表达自己的意见。研究结果对新的教授评价体系的设计具有一定的指导意义。
