The Effects of Students’ First Impressions of Instructors on Student Ratings of Instruction

第一印象與學生評鑑教師教學之相關研究

本研究旨在探討大學生對教師的第一印象和評鑑教師教學結果的相關性。研究對象為東部某大學 259位大學生。第一印象共分為專精面、溝通面、關懷面、受惠面、親密面和吸引面等六個面向；而學生評鑑教師教學則分為教學準備、教學內容、教學方法和教學評量等四個層面以及整體表現。研究結果顯示，第一印象和學生評鑑教師教學各層面及整體表現都達到顯著相關。預測變項可預測教學準備、教學內容、教學方法、學習評量和整體表現的變異量百分比，依序為 7%、9%、\r8%、7%和 10%。學生對教師第一印象的專精面、吸引面和親密面對學生評鑑教師教學的分數結果較有預測力；而溝通面、關懷面以及受惠面對學生評鑑教師教學分數沒有顯著的預測力.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between students’ first impressions of instructors and their ratings of instruction. The sample included 259 undergraduate students at National Hualien University of Education in Taiwan. The re-sults indicate that students’ first impression variables are positively correlated with allstudent evaluation scores. The percentage of variance explained by the different com-binations of first impression variables are 7% for Preparation， 9% for Content， 8% for Method， 7% for Assessment， 10% for Total score， respectively. The first impressions of teacher expertise correlate with later evaluation scores of Preparation， Content， and To-tal. Attractiveness has an impact on student ratings of Assessment and Total score. Im-mediacy appears in the final regression equation of Method. First impressions of ease of communication， concern for students， and likely benefit， however， do not make sig-nificant additional contribution to the variance in student ratings.
