Evaluating the students´ perception of the teaching effectiveness in a teleinformatics engineering

This paper intends to present a case of computer-aided statistical analysis of teaching effectiveness in an engineering course. Due to the large amount of data generated, the computer aid becomes essential for the correct handling of data. Ratings are extremely important to the improvement of educational institutions. This study aims to provide feedback to teachers of the course that have been evaluated using the point of view of students. This research was conducted using a questionnaire, which was applied to students who had already completed the first year of the teleinformatics engineering course. The instrument allow us to observe data that, clearly indicates certain subjective characteristics. The automation of the analysis process is a crucial step in the interpretation of the results. Our results deserve consideration for the improvement of teaching in an engineering course.
