STUDENTS' EVALUATION OF TEACHING (SET): PERCEPTIONS OF STUDENTS FROM THREE TIERS OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN NIGERIA
| Abstract: Quality assurance and management have recently become topical issues of concerns in institutions of higher learning in Nigeria. Input by lecturers has also been seen as the corner stone of this quality assurance. Holistic evaluation of teaching quality that will cover both instructional delivery and research competencies, therefore, becomes imperative. Student evaluation of teaching effectiveness has been seen as a vital component of teaching quality but is a newcomer in Nigerian educational institutions. This study surveys higher education students’ perception of introduction and use of SET in Nigerian tertiary institutions. 600 students comprising of 300 male and 300 female students in three tiers of higher institutions in Nigeria were sampled for the study. The study found that the students perceived SET in tertiary institutions as a way of improving instructional delivery. They were of the view that SET should be used for both formative and summative purposes. Students’ gender, academic discipline and type of institution had no significant influence on their perception of SET. © Ideal True Scholar KEYWORDS: |
