| Description | As a result of stricter requirements for quality of university teaching, the importance of student evaluation of teaching (SET) increases. The paper is focused on SET at the Faculty of Sports Studies Masaryk University (FSpS MU). It deals with specific aspects of the university sports teaching and the related requirements of the SET. The aim of the empirical qualitative research was to find out the views on the SET of selected FSpS MU students. The focus group research method was used. The research sample consisted of four purposively selected respondents, two from the doctorate study and two from the postgraduate master studies. The results of the survey show that the decreasing number of completed SET is mainly related to the reluctance of students to spend their free time filling in the SET, feeling unnecessary repetition of SET and inadequate feedback from teachers. Students who complete a SET are likely to be especially those who are either very satisfied or very dissatisfied with the teaching. On the basis of the research carried out, we present suggestions that can contribute to a more efficient use of student evaluation of university sports teaching. |
