Evaluation of Teaching, Higher Education, Student ParticipationAbstract
The article aims to understand what factors are associated to student participation in teaching evaluations by identifying students’ profiles that are more and less likely to participate. We consider students’ individual characteristics and programs’ characteristics. The data are from the semiannual teaching evaluation from a private higher education institution between 2016 and 2018. We used multilevel logistic regression and the results indicate that both individual and program characteristics can affect the probability of student participation in teaching evaluation, i.e., being female, over 41 years old, receiving funding or scholarship, as well as being enrolled in a teacher licensure program or a full-time program are associated to higher probability of participating in teaching evaluations.
