CAT: Quality Metrics – Is student satisfaction the best measure of instruction quality?

There is a great deal of discussion about the use of student satisfaction as a metric for quality. The reason is that satisfaction is based on perception that is linked to many confounding influences. Gray and Bergmann (2003) provide this example

Stephen J. Ceci, a professor at Cornell University, devised an experiment to see what might affect student evaluations. He taught a developmental psychology course twice, the first time using his customary style. The second time, he covered the same material and used the same textbook, but made a big effort to be more exuberant, adding hand gestures and varying the pitch of his voice. He characterized the results as “astounding”—his ratings for the second class soared. The students even gave higher ratings to the textbook. But little if any change occurred in the students’ performance on exams. Ceci had pleased the students more, but had conveyed the course material no better (p. 45).

Is the quality of content delivery linked only to student satisfaction? What other measures of quality can be used to determine the quality of instruction?
