摘要
The measurement model of questionnaires for students' evaluations of teaching (SET) is typically evaluated with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) using either student ratings or class means. However, the modelfit is often inacceptable (Marsh et al., 2009). We compare the traditional CFA approaches of SETs with the multilevel confirmatory factor analysis (ML-CFA) based on an empirical example of 183 334 student ratings. The application of a ML-CFA to SETs is strongly recommended due to the results. We emphasize the advantages of a ML-CFA for measuring course quality and discuss applications for research in higher education.
