education institutions: an integrative literature review.
Integrative Literature Review. Teacher evaluation by the student.
Teacher evaluation by the student. Evaluation of teaching effectiveness. Higher
education.
The present study aims to characterize the national scientific production related to
the subject Teacher’s Evaluation by the Student (TES) with emphasis on Brazilian
higher education. The methodology included a bibliographic review of scientific
articles using seven descriptors for search and selection of articles indexed in the
databases of Portal de Periódicos Capes, Google Scholar and Scientific Electronic
Library Online (SciELO). The research explored the literature from 1993 to 2017. A
total of 26 selected papers were read in order to obtain information about the year of
publication, type of study, topics covered and journals in which they were published.
The analysis of the data allowed the identification of five themes: Purposes (what for
is evaluated?); Dimensions (what is evaluated?); Instruments (how do you rate it?);
Visions (of teachers and students - what is the view/perception of these actors about
the process?); and Biases (what are the biases, limitations and problems pointed out
in the studies?). The results point to the presence of articles of the empirical type, all
of which deal with undergraduate courses and indicate an increasing trend in the
number of papers published since 2008. The literature review provides an overview
of the main issues related to the subject of TES and discusses the main implications
for its implementation in university practice.
