摘要
Introduction. Rating scales evaluating the quality of teaching are widely used by academic institutions and have become increasingly popular in the World Wide Web. This study examines teachers. and teacher-education students. knowledge and experience with public online ratings of teaching quality and their attitude towards them. Method. Based on focused interviews, a questionnaire was constructed. Data was collected from 225 teachers at seven schools and from 538 teacher-education students at four universities in Germany. Results. 42 % of all students questioned knew that they could evaluate their professors on MeinProf. de (the German version of RateMyProfessors. com), but only a total of 1.5 % had posted one or more ratings on this website. Analysis of the data showed that teachers were more reserved towards public online ratings than teacher-education students (p <.001), that senior teachers were more reserved about them than younger teachers (p <.001), and that females were more reserved than males (p <.01). Conclusion. The results indicate that a teacher's age is the most important factor influencing attitudes towards public online ratings, which can presumably be attributed to an age-related difficulty in getting high ratings.
