Abstract: This paper seeks to provide an epistemological rationale for the establishment of ESET (an acronym for: “Eagles StudentEvaluation of Teaching”) as a novel universal SRI [Student Ratings of Instruction] tool. Colleges and Universities in theUnited States use Student Ratings of Instruction [SRI] for course evaluation purposes (Osler and Mansaray, 2013a). Thisresearch investigation is the third part of a post hoc study that psychometrically examines the reliability and validity of theitems used in an Historic Black College and University (HBCU) SRI instrument. The ESET sample under analysis consisted ofthe responses to 56,451 total items extracted from 7,919 distributed Student Ratings Instruments that were deliveredelectronically (at HBCU) to students who completed the ESET tool. The ESET methodology provides a statistically validSRI/SET survey instrument along with a variety of post hoc statistical measures to determine the efficacy of collegiateinstruction. This research is also the continuation of research conducted on innovative statistical metrics introduced inthe i-managre’s Journal on Mathematics.
