In this paper we present the results of a research on the perceptions of students and teachers about the teacher evaluation required of students every semester. A qualitative methodology was used by means of a focus group interview. Results show that both teachers and students feel uncomfortable with the evaluation; this discomfort is reflected on low levels of participation and receptivity of the information provided by the evaluation forms and a general lack of motivation regarding this process. As a conclusion, it is worth noting the need to contrast the teacher evaluations with a self-evaluation of both the teacher and the student, to reconcile the expectations of teachers and students about the evaluation, and to undertake pedagogical processes with the teachers and students in order to become aware of the importance of evaluation.

Palabras clave : perceptions; representations; teacher evaluation; university.
