Research investigates the relationship between course evaluation results and student outcomes, indicating potential improvements in teaching effectiveness.
End-of-semester course evaluation surveys are a common method of collecting data for improving teaching at universities worldwide. The Bunkyo English Communication Centre at Hiroshima Bunkyo Women’s University uses its survey as part of a Faculty Development system, but its validity has not previously been analysed. Data from the teaching evaluation section of the survey were compared to class grade point average and statistically-significant positive relationships were found. This suggests that the survey does produce meaningful data, but a number of caveats are identified and confirms the need to use multiple measurements of teaching effectiveness.
