Abstract:Taking a qualitative approach, this paper critically examines the role of student evaluation as a tool to assess the quality of teaching at the former Windhoek College of Education. The findings shows that, though student evaluation is commonly used to assess the content pedagogy of academic staff worldwide, there are concerns that need to be taken into consideration. These concerns include: the student-lecturer relationship; the student's interest in a particular subject; the relation between subject content and pedagogical skills of the lecturer; the general appearance of the lecturer; the lecturer's assertiveness, and the quality of training the lecturer received. The authors conclude that student evaluation, while necessary, cannot serve as the only solution to the problems of quality of teaching and learning. Bibliogr., sum. [Journal abstract, edited]
