| Abstract: | This study assessed the relationship between the frequency of college students' informal nonclassroom contact with faculty for each of six purposes and their generalized perceptions of instructional quality. Two factorially derived components of instructional quality (based on a 14-item instrument) were used as the dependent variables in two regressions on the six types of contact. The frequency of contacts for discussing intellectual or course-related matters and for discussing a campus issue or problem made statistically significant and unique contributions in predicting students' perceptions of instructor concern and ability.An earler version of this paper was presented to the annual conference of the American Educational Research Association, Boston, April 1980. |
