Abstract

This study evaluated university students’ perception of lecturers’ effectiveness in Southwest, Nigeria. The convergent parallel mixed methods research design was employed. All third and fourth-year students of public universities in Southwest Nigeria constituted the study population; with a sample of one-thousand and fifty (1,050: 388 males and 662 females). An adapted instrument tagged ‘Students’ Perception of Lecturers’ Effectiveness Questionnaire’, was used for data collection with Cronbach Alpha reliability indexes of 0.73, 0.77, and 0.81 respectively for the three effectiveness measures, while a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was used in collecting the qualitative data through an interview protocol. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, and thematic analysis using ATLAS.ti. Findings indicate that university lecturers as perceived by students are effective in exhibiting some of the fundamental cognitive, affective, and psychomotor related characteristics; significant relationship was found in the lecturers’ effectiveness measures.
