TMSTUDENT PERCEPTIONS OF LEARNING AND INSTRUCTIONAL EFFECTIVENESS IN COLLEGE COURSES A VALIDITY STUDY OF SIR II John A. Centra and Noreen B. Gaubatz When students evaluate course instruction highly we would hope it is because the instruction has produced effective LEARNING . This tenet is in fact the basis for many validity studies that have been conducted with STUDENT evaluations of courses and teachers. A study in the mid-1970s with the original STUDENT Instructional Report (SIR) is a good example of a validity study that compared ratings to estimates of STUDENT LEARNING . Final exam scores from seven courses were correlated with STUDENT ratings from the SIR (Centra, 1977). The global ratings of teaching effectiveness and value of the course to the STUDENT were the items most highly correlated with STUDENT achievement: 8 of the 14 correlations were .60 or above. In an introductory psychology class, for example, the overall rating of teaching effectiveness across 22 sections taught by 9 teachers correlated.
