| Abstract: | Higher education institutions, adapting to diverse student needs, utilize Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) to gather feedback, ensure education quality, and foster faculty professional development. The study, conducted with 60 teachers from six private universities of Karachi, revealed a positive but statistically non-significant correlation between SET and instructional quality. Similarly, the correlation between SET and faculty development was positive but not statistically significant. Conversely, a strong and statistically significant positive correlation existed between faculty development and instructional quality, underscoring the pivotal role of faculty development in enhancing instructional quality. In this study, the importance of a comprehensive evaluation system that integrates student feedback with robust faculty development initiatives to enhance the teaching and learning environment in higher education was emphasized. The study recommended comprehensive faculty training programmes, regular updates to SET instruments, diverse evaluation methods, and a supportive culture that values continuous improvement. These findings contribute to shaping effective teaching practices and improving the overall higher education experience. |
