This report discusses the evolution and future implementation methods of student evaluation of teaching in universities. In Japan, around the 1980s, student evaluation of teaching to improve university education began with individual faculty members or small groups within the university. By the 1990s, universities were being evaluated for nationwide university reform. This triggered implementing student evaluations of teaching in nearly all universities. Student evaluations of teaching should be used to collect data to improve each university’s overall educational system. Therefore, strategically setting evaluation items to identify university challenges is desirable. Furthermore, the timing and frequency of evaluations, along with the methods for providing feedback to faculty and students, including analysis methods, should be reconsidered to ensure that the information genuinely contributes to creating a better learning environment for both groups.
