There is a growing interest in learning environments in higher education (HE) research, but detailed analyses of the effects of classroom teaching practices on academic success are still scarce. Moreover, a convincing theoretical model of HE teaching practices and a reliable observation tool are not available yet. The aim of this study is to develop and test an observation tool for measuring and describing teaching practices in HE. In addition, preliminary analyses on the associations between dimensions of teaching practices and student achievement were performed. Ninety-six teachers were observed during lectures, and the results of 5.208 students from 18 teachers were collected. The results support the psychometric properties of the tool. The results will be discussed with regard to the role of teachers in student’s success in HE and to future perspectives to better address this role in further research.
