| Sumario: | The aim of this study —performed in a public university in Mexico— was to carry out an exploratory investigation, through the use of questionnaires, with regard to the criteria used by students to assess the effectiveness of teaching staff. The participants of the study were 163 students from seven Social Sciences and Humanities Degree courses at a public university in central Mexico; all the students were in their seventh, eighth, or ninth semester. Participants in the study were selected through random sampling procedures and based on intact groups. The students’ answers were analyzed under the teaching research model proposed by Dunkin and Biddle (1974) and the results of the study indicate that the variables, or criteria, used to determine the efficiency of their teachers are basically related to process and prognostication and rarely to the results or learning products. To determine the ineffectiveness of the teaching staff, students used mainly presage and process criteria. |
