Abstract

This paper is based on a teacher effectiveness model with six teaching behaviour domains (safe learning climate, efficient classroom management, clarity of instruction, activating teaching, differentiation, and teaching–learning strategies). The main purpose was to examine university students’ perceptions of teaching effectiveness and its influence on students’ academic engagement. The sample comprised 782 students from 16 universities. Data was collected using a transversal design and the instruments My Teacher Questionnaire and the Academic Engagement Scale, both using Likert-type response formats and adapted to the study population. The findings suggest differences regarding teacher gender and type of course: students perceived their male teachers as better, and there were more positive perceptions of teachers in arts and humanities, social and legal sciences, and health sciences courses. With respect to student engagement, the results confirmed the predictive power of the effective classroom management, activating teaching and differentiation domains. The percentage of explained variance was greater for emotional engagement than for behavioural engagement. This kind of study gives us very interesting information which can help to identify the aspects of higher education that need to be reinforced and in contrast, those about which students already have positive perceptions.

Resumen

Este trabajo está basado en un modelo de eficacia docente compuesto por seis dimensiones (clima de aprendizaje seguro, manejo eficiente del aula, claridad de la instrucción, enseñanza activa, diferenciación y estrategias de enseñanza – aprendizaje). El objetivo principal ha sido examinar la percepción que posee el alumnado universitario acerca de la eficacia docente de sus profesores y profesoras, así como el influjo de esta percepción en su compromiso académico. La muestra está compuesta por 782 estudiantes de 16 universidades españolas. Los datos se han obtenido en un diseño transversal a partir del instrumento My Teacher Questionnaire y la Escala de Compromiso Académico, ambos en formato likert y adaptados en la población de estudio. Los resultados sugieren diferencias atendiendo al sexo del profesorado y al tipo de estudios que se estén cursando. Así, los profesores varones reciben una mejor percepción que las mujeres, y también aquéllos que imparten docencia en estudios de Artes y Humanidades, Ciencias Sociales y Jurídicas y Ciencias de la Salud son percibidos más positivamente. En relación al compromiso del alumnado, los resultados confirman el poder predictivo de las dimensiones manejo eficiente del aula, enseñanza activa y diferenciación. El porcentaje de varianza explicada es mayor en el caso del compromiso emocional que en el conductual. Este tipo de estudios nos ofrecen información de gran interés para conocer qué aspectos de la docencia universitaria deben ser reforzados y cuáles, por el contrario, ya son percibidos satisfactoriamente por el alumnado.
