Psychometric study and validation of a questionnaire for the evaluation of online university lecturers

Abstract

In this paper we present the psychometric study of the Questionnaire for the Evaluation of Online University Lecturers (version D), whose purpose is to evaluate the teaching of professors who work online mode, on the basis of the previous considerations of the student. The questionnaire has been constructed using a combination of qualitative and quantitative methodology. The particularly relevant feature of this scale is that it has been generated from the students' opinion about the characteristics that online lecturers must have in order to be considered a good teacher. In previous works we have presented the procedure that has been used to build the scale; in this we present the psychometric study of the specific questionnaire for online tutors. The sample was selected by random sampling by conglomerates, considering the Campus as a conglomerate. An exploratory factorial analysis (AFE) was carried out and subsequently a confirmatory factorial analysis (CFA). The results indicate that the constructed questionnaire has a high reliability and validity, which makes it a useful and relevant evaluation tool.
