Avaliação de desempenho dos professores de finanças em instituições de ensino superior privadas da cidade de São Paulo

Abstract

Teachers play an important role in the teaching-learning process, especially at the moment of professional training. Finance is an area seen by many students as complex and difficult to understand. The general objective was to seek the opinion of the students who were in the phase of completion of their courses, that is, the last two semesters. The specific objective was to evaluate the performance of finance teachers, taking into account personal characteristics of the teachers, didactics, technological ability and the quality of the taught subjects. The data for this study were collected in a survey, answered by 235 students from six HEIs, containing 36 questions, divided into three main parts: Student profile, Descriptive items of finance teachers and descriptive items in the context of the course, taking as a basis for a questionnaire by Mendes-da-Silva, Bido and Forte (2011). The analysis of the results was done through descriptive statistics, factorial analyzes and multiple regression. The results indicated that personal characteristics, technological ability and didactics do not significantly interfere in the performance of finance teachers.
