Abstract

The purposes of this study were twofold: (1) to assess teaching and learning through student course evaluations (SCE) and (2) to assess the psychometric properties of SCE instrument. The SCE measures were developed to assess student assessment of teaching and learning in a public university in the Midwest of the country. A confirmatory factor analysis as well as the Rasch measurement modeling were used to analyze the data. The results of the study revealed one latent variable that was named quality of instruction. A one-way ANOVA was conducted to assess whether quality of instruction was dependent on student's satisfaction with the use of technology in instruction. The results showed technology to be a statistically significant factor in accounting for quality of instruction (F (1, 4556) = 1701.12, p < .001, η2 = 0.272), indicating that 27.2% of variance in quality of instruction was due to technology.
