STUDENT EVALUATION OF THE QUALITY OF UNIVERSITY EDUCATION WITH THE USE OF SEMANTIC DIFFERENTIAL

Original language description

The staff of universities in the Czech Republic have an obligation to regularly monitor the quality of education they provide to students. Different scale questionnaires are most often used for these purposes. However, the questionnaires do not allow to detect hidden inner meanings that students subjectively attach to rated aspects of university education. In the context of pedagogical evaluation we consider it appropriate to apply various techniques that contribute to triangulate our findings. For this reason, we have decided to apply semantic differential in the evaluation of quality at our university department. We have applied the tool ATER (Attitudes towards Educational Reality by M. Chráska), which has been validated and proved its permanent reliability in the Czech educational environment. This tool allows us to assess selected constructs in terms of two factors, namely Factor of assessment and Factor of energy. With its use, we are able to determine how students perceive selected conceptual indicators in terms of positivity - negativity, and also in terms of simplicity - difficulty. The aim of this study is to highlight the possibilities of semantic differential in the area of student evaluation of the quality of university education. Semantic differential seems an appropriate evaluation method. With its use, we are able to capture another dimensions of quality in comparison with a questionnaire.
