Medical students' perceptions of teaching evaluations

摘要

Students in medical schools are routinely asked to evaluate teaching, including faculty members. Student evaluations are an important component of documenting the teaching-learning cycle, and are intended to improve curricular design, delivery and resource allocation, and to inform the promotion process and program evaluation.1"3 Previous studies have addressed the reliability and validity of these evaluations, and they are now considered as one of the main tools for assessing teaching effectiveness. However, the utility of these evaluations may be unknown to students.
