Student rating has been implemented in colleges in Taiwan for years, but the results are far from satisfying. The valid response rate is low, and college teachers are skeptical about students' evaluation and judgment. The goals of student rating are not realized, and yet student rating is done routinely year after year. Therefore, there is a need to understand both the teacher's and student's views on student rating. This would be the first step to enhance the trust and encourage participation in student rating. The research is aimed to investigate and compare the views on student rating between teachers and students in a medical university in central Taiwan based on a survey of 3266 respondents. The results of the survey yielded five major findings. First, there are significant different views on student rating between teachers and students. Second, the gender of the teacher did not significantly affect teachers' views on student rating. Third, the ranking of the teacher significantly affected their views on student rating. Fourth, the year of study of the student significantly affected their views on student rating. Fifth, "teacher's communication and lecture ability," "student's semester final grade," "teacher-student interaction," "contents of the course prepared by the teacher," and "course status---required or elective" are the major factors influencing the results of student rating. Based on the results of the research, three suggestions are proposed. First, efforts should be made to improve the teacher's and student's understanding about student rating. Second, students need to be informed of the administrative procedure of student rating. Third, the design and development of student rating questionnaire need to consider the most influential factors in student rating that are identified by both teachers and students. |
