Structure of the Teaching Analysis by Students (Tabs).
1a University of Hawaii , USA.
Student evaluations of teaching reveal key instructor behaviors related to student outcomes. The Teaching Analysis By Students (TABS) identified factors like communication and accountability that impact learning.
Area of Science:
- Educational Psychology
- Higher Education Pedagogy
Background:
- Growing interest in student-based evaluation of instruction.
- Focus on diagnostic aspects of teacher behavior in the classroom.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze student ratings of teacher behavior.
- To identify factors of effective teaching.
- To determine the relationship between teaching behaviors and educational outcomes.
Main Methods:
- Administered the Teaching Analysis By Students (TABS) to 2096 students across 90 university courses.
- Factor analyzed 39 student ratings (36 diagnostic, 3 criterion).
- Used Varimax rotation for seven factors and stepwise multiple regression.
Main Results:
- Identified seven key factors: Accountability, Communication Facilitator, Dynamism/Flexibility, General Instructor Impact, Closure/Pacing, Openness, and Communication Skill.
- Factors categorized into information management and interpersonal relations.
- Significant predictive power for instructor impact (R² = .72), course impact (R² = .64), and cognitive/affective growth (R² = .52).
Conclusions:
- Specific instructor behaviors are demonstrably linked to educational outcomes.
- Student evaluations can provide valuable diagnostic insights into teaching effectiveness.
- Effective teaching involves both managing information and interpersonal dynamics.
