Students’ perceptions of teaching quality in higher education: the perspective of currently enrolled students (original) (raw)

This research evaluates the psychometric properties of the Student Course Experience Questionnaire (SCEQ), which assesses student perceptions of teaching quality at the University of Sydney. Key factors examined include Good Teaching, Clear Goals, Appropriate Assessment, and Workload, supported by confirmatory factor analysis. The findings indicate meaningful aggregation of student ratings at the faculty level, as well as relationships between perceptions of the learning environment and learning outcomes. The study contributes to the ongoing discourse on teaching performance indicators in higher education, suggesting implications for quality assurance and benchmarking.
