  text: 'Through co-occurrence analysis of 1139 documents (1964-2018) we identified
    trends in the discussions about the implementation of student teaching evaluation
    (SET). We found that: (1) Attention to SET originated in the US in the 1970s,
    spreading to German-speaking countries in the mid-1990s and continuing in China
    and Latin America in the early 2000s. (2) SET is commonly viewed as a control
    tool deserving methodological improvement, while bias is debated in the US. We
    also found local trajectories: (3) Whereas in the US and Latin America SET is
    primarily seen as a management tool, German-speaking and Chinese authors reflect
    more on improving teaching. Chinese scholars consider SET a valid instrument for
    state control associated with artificial intelligence. Also, (4) SET is commonly
    used in medical education in the US and the German-speaking region and in physical
    education in China. We conclude that SET is discussed cross-nationally but affected
    by national path dependencies.'
