Student Ratings of Teaching : A Summary of Research and Literature (2012, unknown): “Centra (1993) found, as we did, few studies of student ratings and instructor race conducted in North America. He speculated that students of the same race as the instructor might rate the instructor higher. However, in a doctoral dissertation using IDEA, Li (1993) found no differences between Asian”
On the Validity of Student Evaluation of Teaching (2013, background): “Although most leading SET researchers are convinced of the validity of SET, as research has found potentially biasing factors to be of little or no influence (Centra, 2003; Marsh & Roche, 2000), bias studies continue to play a central role in the recent literature.”
Does ratemyprofessor.com really rate my professor? (2008, background): “…of higher education.1 Research on student evaluations of faculty has shown that evaluations typically are based on forms that are filled out anonymously by students in a classroom using formal, well-defined and controlled processes (Cashin 1995; Martin 1998; Read et al. 2001; Centra 2003).”
Student Evaluations of Teaching: Are They Related to What Students Learn? (2009, background): “Marsh and Roche (2000) and Centra (2003) also performed large careful studies but did not find evidence for the leniency effect.”
Student evaluations of teaching: combining the meta-analyses and demonstrating further evidence for effective use (2012, background): “In contrast, other researchers (Centra 2003; Marsh and Roche 2000) promote a validity hypothesis, theorising that student ratings reflect student perceptions of learning and are not significantly influenced by expected course grade.”
An Evaluation of Course Evaluations (2014, background): “7 they are in some universities—we might be able to use exam scores to measure learning.(13) But that’s not how Berkeley works, and teaching to the test could be confounded with deep learning.”
Using SERVQUAL to Measure the Quality of the Classroom Experience (2008, background): “Second, as Centra (2003) pointed out, when testing for a correlation between student evaluations and expected grade, it is necessary to control for student learning.”
Does the Flipped Classroom Improve Student Learning and Satisfaction? A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (2019, background): “…arise when there is a discrepancy between what students perceive to be an appropriate workload and the real workload entailed by the most effective teaching methods (Centra, 2003; Greenwald & Gillmore, 1997), or when workload is perceived to be not germane to instructional objectives (Marsh, 2001).”
Teacher professionalism and student evaluation of teaching: will better teachers receive higher ratings and will better students give higher ratings? (2006, background): “…models both of the workload and the prior subject interest factors with regard to the relationship between grading and student ratings; other research has shown the important role these play in understanding such correlations (Greenwald & Gillmore, 1997a, 1997b; Marsh & Roche, 2000; Centra, 2003).”
