Student Evaluations of Didactic Lectures by One Instructor / 医学教育

ABSTRACT

The 2nd year student evaluation of didactic lectures by one instrustor was carried out anonymously in 1991 in order to establish the most appropriate set of questionnaire items (including 11 types of questions with 5 choices of responses each and space for a free answer). The study was repeated 11 times, with a total of 286 responses collected. There was a certain amount of variability in the means and standard deviations in the data. Mutivariate analysis, such as multiple regression, was appled and three principal components (students' concern and lecturer's attitude, utilization of visual aids, and preparation and clarity of lectures) were extracted out 11 items by means of principal component analysis. In concluding, the author stresses the necessity of the further studies.
