Abstract
Prior research on the dimensions of effective college instruction is critically summarized. Problems with factor analytic studies include: the lack of a theoretical rationale for item selection; the use of incorrect units of analysis; the lack of student randomization to classes; the failure to control for setting effects; and, low content and construct validity. Suggestions for future research and implications for summative and formative evaluation are described.
