Several factors are involved in the evaluation of teacher performance. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between Social and Academic Integration of Students with Student Evaluation of Teacher Performance in Gonabad University of Medical Sciences, Gonabad, Iran in 2016.
Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional research was conducted on 307 BSc students in Gonabad University of Medical Sciences selected via stratified random sampling. Data were collected using demographic characteristics questionnaire and reliable and valid scales of institutional coherence and quality of teachers' performance. Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 20 using descriptive statistics, independent t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and linear regression at the significance level of below 0.05.
Results: Among the dimensions of social integration, the highest score was related to peer group interaction (29.08±4.59). Regarding the dimensions of academic integration, the highest score was related to academic and thinking progress (26.34±4.32). According to the Pearson’s correlation coefficient, a direct and significant relationship was found between the total score of social and academic integration with the total score of student evaluation of teacher performance (r=0.53 and r=0.11, P<0.001 and P<0.04, respectively). Moreover, results of linear regression test demonstrated that there was 0.11 and 0.53 increase in the teacher evaluation score per each increase in the scores of social and academic integrations, respectively.
Conclusion: According to the results of the study, there might be an association between academic and social interactions and experiences of students with classmates and other academic staff with student evaluation of teacher performance, reflecting their satisfaction with the performance quality of faculty members in Gonabad University of Medical Sciences.
