Abstract
The purpose of the study was to examine student perceptions of teaching excellence at different types of higher education institutions. The pressure to publish, larger class sizes, globalization, technological innovation greater accountability for learning, and justification of a college degree’s worth make teaching excellence more difficult to attain. A byproduct of this pressure is an increased emphasis on student evaluations. Using two conjoint studies from a large public and a medium-size private university, assignments, exams, and grading were identified as the most important components for students in assessing teaching excellence. The least important was the faculty-student interaction, which may be caused by grade inflation. The dimensions were taken from a previously validated scale.
Keywords
conjoint analysis, grade inflation, student perceptions

学生对教学卓越的感知:公立和私立大学的比较
本研究旨在探究不同类型高等教育机构的学生对教学卓越的感知。发表压力、班级规模扩大、全球化、技术创新、更大的学习责任以及对大学学位价值的证明，使得教学卓越更加难以达成。这种压力的副产品是对学生评价的日益重视。通过对一所大型公立大学和一所中等规模私立大学的共同分析，本研究发现作业、考试和评分是学生评估教学质量最重要的组成部分；而最不重要的是师生互动，这可能是由成绩膨胀引起的。这些维度是从先前经过验证的量表中获取的。
联合分析，成绩膨胀，学生认知
