How would an instructor or a department react if they knew students choose courses and sections based on RateMyProfessors ratings?<\/p>\n
This research examines what criteria students give priority to when evaluating the performance of language teachers on the online platform RateMyProfessors (RMP) and what factors are determinant in students\u2019 engagement.<\/p>\n
More specifically, this study explores the review practices of students and students\u2019 perceptions in rating effective teaching practices in order to develop a reflective process upon which a language program can act to innovate. While our focus is on French language, there are broader pedagogical implications for other disciplines and for post-secondary institutions as a whole as it discusses students\u2019 evaluation of teaching, an area where their input is critically needed.<\/p>\n
The data analysis showed that because the learning experience is perceived as being transactional in nature, students\u2019 criteria on teaching effectiveness tend to give priority to predictability, likeability, and caring and how they impact learning, engagement, and motivation. The alleged inadmissibility of public and uncontrolled evaluations no longer allows instructors to ignore these \u201chidden transcripts\u201d (Scott, 1990), voices, and opinions on teaching performance. Because the choice of a course, from students\u2019 perspective, relies on the ratings of RMP, how this practice can impact enrolments and, to some extent, the success or the failure of a program?<\/p>\n
