Evaluative Practices Of University Professors Through Students’ Estimates

Abstract

The current study aimed to identify the estimates of students at the Department of Psychology, Education Sciences and Speech Therapy at Mohamed Lamine Debaghine, Setif -2-, University to  the evaluative practices of their professors. A descriptive analytic method  was employed by the researcher to answrer the questions of the study, and a scale was developed including (38 ) items divided into two axes: the first axis concerned evaluative practices in lecture sessions, while the second one focused on evaluative practices in guided work sessions. After verifying its psychometric properties, the scale was applied to a sample of 230 second-year Master students. The results have indicated a moderate degree of evaluative practices for both lecture and guided work sessions. Additionally, the study has found no significant differences in average responses due to gender or academic profile, but there were differences related to the field of study, favouring students specialising in organisational work and educational psychology.
