An Attributional Approach to the Validity of Student Ratings of Instruction.

Ames, Russell; Lau, Sing

Contemporary Educational Psychology, v4 n1 p26-39 Jan 1979

Undergraduate students' perceptions of causes of their performance in a course were related to their ratings of the course and instructor in order to explore convergent and discriminant validity of such ratings. Regression analyses indicated that attributional judgments about causes of student performance were related to evaluations of instruction. (Author/RD)
