ABSTRACT

This study investigated student item responses reflected by the end-of-semester course evaluation surveys administered online at two different times. Two groups of respondents were identified: those who consistently chose the same option numbers were coded as 1, while those who did not choose the same option number consistently were coded as 0. By considering the finding that students’ response patterns were nested within a course (instructor), two-level, nonlinear, hierarchical models were constructed. The log-odds of a student choosing the same option number was obtained by incorporating both student characteristics (e.g., gender, course grade, year of enrollment) and course or instructor characteristics (e.g., science & engineering-related courses, instructor's tenure rank order). Male students and students who took natural science and engineering courses were more likely to choose the same option numbers compared to female students and non-natural science and engineering majors. Students with lower course grades were also more likely to choose the same option numbers than students with higher course grades, when controlling for the effects of other variables in the model. Methods to secure students' conscientious responses were also discussed.
