To ensure academic quality within the Canadian undergraduate education
context, there is a need for student evaluation questionnaires that help to enhance
students’ teaching-learning environments. The Experiences of Teaching and
Learning Questionnaire (ETL-Q) and the Short Revised Experiences of Teaching
and Learning Questionnaire (SR-ETL-Q) were designed to meet a similar need in
undergraduate courses in UK. Though studies have examined the utility of these
questionnaires across different countries, the utility of these tools has yet to be
ascertained in Canadian undergraduate populations. Hence, the goal of this study
was to examine the structure of SR-ETL-Q responses within a Canadian sample.
This goal was achieved by comparing the fit of two competing models, a six-
factor versus a five-factor model using confirmatory factor analyses. Results
indicate that the theorized six-factor model provided a better fit for the Canadian
sample. Implications of these results and recommendations for future research are
also discussed. -
