Abstract
The appropriateness of a multidimensional scaling technique
(HDS) in attempting to Quantify students perceptions
of teacher performance is investigated in the following
study. Data collected on an interactive computer survey and
from Student Opinion Forms (SOF*s) are used to determine if
satisfactory linear relationships for teacher performance
exist- Multiple linear regression and factor analysis
attempt to identify what appear to be the most important
characteristics in instructor performance according to the
perceptions of a control group. Spatial plots are created reflecting these perceptions.
