This study examined the impact of the professors' gender according to a student evaluation of teaching (SET) in a private university. The study took place in a private university (n = 103,833) on six different campuses in the north region of Mexico. The distribution of the professors' gender was analyzed according to semesters, campuses, and schools. Our findings suggested that when undergraduates evaluated their professors on specific criteria concerning teaching performance, they expressed their opinion regardless of the professors' gender. However, when being asked for a single overall evaluation, as whether they would recommend the professor as one of their best professors, the students tended to favor male professors over their female peers by a slight margin. While such perceptions might not be representative of the actual teaching quality, it would be interesting in the future to delve deeper into the causes of possible biases.
本研究根据一所私立大学的学生教学评价（SET），考察了教授性别所产生的影响。该研究在墨西哥北部六个不同校区的一所私立大学开展（n = 103,833）。根据学期、校区和学院分析了教授性别的分布情况。我们的研究结果表明，当本科生根据关于教学表现的具体标准对教授进行评价时，他们表达意见时并未考虑教授的性别。然而，当被要求给出一个总体评价，比如是否会推荐该教授为最优秀的教授之一时，学生们略微倾向于更青睐男性教授而非女性教授。虽然这种看法可能并不代表实际的教学质量，但未来深入探究可能存在偏见的原因将会很有意思。
