Examen critique de six questionnaires d'évaluation de l'enseignement par des étudiants en contexte universitaire

Helene Poissant

Abstract

The assessment of teaching by students has become a current practice in establishments of higher education in Canada and the United States. Its use, increasingly frequent in decision-making for promotion of university professors, demands new and high criteria of quality. In fact, demands of quality would have to be raised all the more that consequences of the evaluation on the career of the professor are important. Too often instruments employed for the selection of the professors are not appropriate to such a context of evaluation. Furthermore, human costs entailed by a bad use of instruments of evaluation, notably the loss of job, can be avoided by a best utilization of evaluation resources. By means of the analysis of a sample of evaluation questionnaires presently used in a Canadian university, we suggest some track for a best use.
