Teaching credentials and academic performance: a panel data study in a Latin American School of Economics

Patricia Hernandez Medina, Gabriel Ramirez Torres, Diego Pinilla Rodriguez

Resumo


The present research studied the relationship between the credentials of teachers and the academic performance of students who, in the 2014–2015 period, joined the bachelor’s degree program in Economics at the Universidad Católica Andrés Bello, Caracas, Venezuela. The hypothesis of a direct relationship between teaching quality and student performance was evaluated using a panel data methodology, in which the students were considered as “individuals,” and the semesters of the degree course were the time period under study. For the fixed and random effects estimations without instrumental variables, the following were found to be significant: the teacher’s marital status, place of study, pedagogical training, student evaluation, and the teacher’s professional commitments outside the academic sphere. The results do not allow us to accept the null hypothesis since academic teaching credentials do not promote significant increases in academic performance.

Principios Norteadores para o Avaliador

Guiding Principles for Evaluators American Evaluation Association (AEA)

Com o proposito de guiar o trabalho dos profissionais de avaliação e assegurar a etica de sua atuacao, a American Evaluation Association (AEA) - Associacao Profissional de Avaliadores - estabeleceu cinco principios norteadores aqui resumidos:

1.  Indagacao Sistematica, no que se refere à capacidade de coletar dados utilizando tecnicas apropriadas e comunicando metodos e abordagens com a devida transparencia para permitir acesso e critica.

2.  Competencia, no que se refere a demonstrar atuacao competente perante os envolvidos no processo avaliativo e desenvolver continuamente sua capacidade para alcancar o mais alto nivel de desempenho possivel.

3.  Integridade/Honestidade, no que se refere a assegurar honestidade e integridade ao longo de todo o processo avaliativo, negociando com os envolvidos e interessados na avaliação e buscando esclarecer e orientar procedimentos que venham provocar distorcoes ou indevidas utilizacoes.

4.  Respeito pelas pessoas, no que se refere ao respeito pela seguranca, dignidade e auto-valorizacao dos envolvidos no processo avaliativo, atuando sempre com etica profissional, evitando riscos e prejuizos que possam afetar os participantes para assegurar, o melhor possivel, o respeito às diferencas e o direito social de retorno dos resultados, aos envolvidos.

5.  Responsabilidade pelo bem estar geral e público, no que se refere a levar em consideracao a diversidade de interesses e valores que possam estar relacionados ao público em geral,buscando responder nao somente às expectativas mais imediatas, mas tambem às implicacoes e repercussoes mais amplas e, nesse sentido, disseminar a informacao sempre que necessario.
