Evaluación de la Calidad Docente Universitaria desde la Perspectiva de los Estudiantes

This study has two objectives: a) to analyze the psychometric properties of reliability and validity of the Questionnaire of Teaching Skills of University Teachers (CCDPU); b) identify the competencies and attributes most valued by university students in Buenos Aires in the assessment of teaching quality. Method: An empirical study of descriptive-correlal scope was carried out for the validation of the questionnaire and the analysis of the data obtained. The participants were 120 university students (94 women and 26 men) from the Buenos Aires Metropolitan Area. Results: It was noted that most CCDPU subscales obtained alpha values higher than .70 and all items were classified as consistent, sufficient, and representative by expert judgement. The subscale of the questionnaire best valued by students was Attitude of Teachers, which includes aspects related to beliefs, attitudes and ways of being of the teacher that influence their work and teaching performance. Discussion: According to the results obtained it follows that, from the perspective of the students, good teachers are those who are receptive to their students, seek to motivate them, are actively interested in their learning and create an adequate climate of work and participation. In turn, it is concluded that the CCDPU is a useful and valid tool for future research on the subject.
