Abstract

This study aims to retake a theoretical debate and to obtain a framework of analysis about the possible influence of students' grades on the evaluations they make of teachers. We sought to understand the the grade-evaluation relation, through the collection of previous studies and the bibliographic review on the subject. We developed a conceptual framework structure based on the level of significance of the relationship between student academic performance and teacher evaluation The results of the research indicated that some authors recognize the relation in which the student's grade interferes in the evaluation of the teacher, explained by the pact of leniency or by the real learning. On the other hand, some authors show that this relationship is not significant and there are other variables such as gender, age and teacher experience that also interfere in the evaluation. The results found allow a better understanding of the relationship from the perspective of several authors, but it is worth emphasizing the need to use different methodological approaches to establish how the grade-evaluation relationship happens.
