DONADO TOLOSA, Antonio  and  RUIZ RUIZ, Betty. The Teacher Behaviors Checklist: a comparison between Colombian Universities. Encuentros [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.2, pp.15-36. ISSN 1692-5858.  https://doi.org/10.15665/re.v15i2.1003.

The aim of this study was to compare the opinions related to quality of teaching between students from ten Colombian institutions of higher education (N= 398; 41.95% 58.05% men vs. women), grouped into three categories: Autonomous University of the Caribbean (UAC) (N = 234) vs Other Universities of Department of Atlantic (OUDA) (N= 97) vs Other Universities of Colombia (OUC) (N= 67), through the answers to the instrument Teacher Behavior Checklist (TBC) validated with Colombian students by Donado, Ruiz, Ripoll, Zerpa, Jared and Buskist (2016) with a high level of confidence (α = 0.901). The instrument was also used with a sample of teachers from the same institutions (67.42% men vs 32.58%, women, N = 89) and significant differences were found between the views of students of the three categories (F = 18.523, df = 2; sig = 0.00) but not among teachers (F = 1.793, df = 2; sig = .173). Sex is other source of discrepancy among students ( (t = 0.464, df = 396; sig = 0.00) but not for teachers (t = 0.715, df = 87; sig = 0.486).
