| Summary: | The possibilities and limitations of the sumative and formative functionalities in the use of the students´ratings are discussed. These functionalities are closely related to the unidimensional or multidimensional character of such surveys. A revision of the dimensions proposed by diverse authors were made and a great agreement found. The contributions and limitations of parametric and nonparametric statistical techniques (LISREL versus SSA) are discussed in order to analyze the structure and dimensionality of the construct of educational competence. These techniques were applied to ample samples of two universities answering to two different instruments. Results found by means of LISREL are consistent with previous similar studies. Results found by means of SSA bring out evidence for a nonlinear reconceptualization of the construct educational competence that suitably integrates the traditional unidimensional and multidimensional conceptualizations. |
