Reduction of the Students' Evaluation of Education Quality questionnaire

Abstract

Assessment of students and the evaluation of their satisfaction has been an important element in the improvement of teaching quality in all the Higher Education areas. Specifically the student participation in Computer Science (CS) and Information System (IS) has been highlight valued. Thus a large number of methodologies and standard tools regarding student evaluation has been developed. Specifically, the Students' Evaluation of Education Quality (SEEQ) is a tool that is validated for international use. But its use leads to several problems, such as the low voluntary participation of students. To solve these problems, a short version of this questionnaire developed using statistic tools is proposed. After using the proposed new version, the voluntary participation of students increased. The reduction of the number of questions facilitates the analysis of data, improving the flow of information and feedback between professors and students.
