GARCIA GARDUNO, José María. Profesores universitarios y su efectividad docente: Un estudio comparativo entre México y Estados Unidos. Perfiles educativos [online]. 2003, vol.25, n.100, pp.42-55. ISSN 0185-2698.
The purpose of the present study was to explore whether the research findings on student ratings in a Mexican higher education institution were similar to those yielded by international research, chiefly that carried out in the United States. Variables considered in the current study were related to the characteristics of the instructor and the discipline: age, gender, years of teaching experience, type of contract (full time vs. part-time) academic rank, academic degree, professor's main area of activity (teaching vs. research, and type of discipline taught (hard vs. soft sciences). The entire population of instructors of a private Mexican university participated which comprised: student ratings of I 361 instructors, 365 full-time and 1026 part-time who taught 8 745 course-groups during 6 semesters, were analyzed by a series of one-way ANOVAS. Results suggest that the findings of the current study are similar to the findings yielded by American research. Hence, March's (1987) presumption regarding that the findings of research on American student ratings might be generalized to other countries and cultures is supported by this study.
