 OVERVIEW

The teaching and learning process needs to be continuously

monitored, reviewed, and renewed to ensure the teaching
(including the teaching learning activities and the assessment) and
course (objectives, learning outcomes, and contents) quality are up
to standards and up-to-date. This is the core duty of any teacher;
rather they are a new or an experienced one.
• Evaluating teacher`s teaching is a way to identify the strong
aspects of their practice, as well as their weaknesses which may
need to be changed and improved. Teachers should take the
initiatives and responsibility to evaluate their teaching and
make improvements over time. It is important to understand
that evaluating your teaching does not mean you are a bad
teacher it means quite the opposite.
At the end of this module, student`s are expected to;

1. Explain how professional reflection and learning can be used

to improve teaching practice.
 Assessment of One`s Teaching Practice

Reflective practice is, in its simplest form, thinking about what you do.
It is closely related to the concept of learning from experience, in what you
think about and monitor what you did and what happened and decide
based on what you would do differently next time. Reflective practice is
beyond casual thinking.
Reflective practice requires a conscious effort to think about events
and develop insights from them. It also encourages teachers to explore their
own beliefs and assumptions about learners, teaching-learning including
assessment, and to find solutions to problems.
 The Reflective practice for teachers whose main task is to
teach, to analyze data that reveal if they are teaching effectively
or not as proven by learners learning expressed in learners test
scores derived from traditional assessment or in non-test data
shown in learners products, processes performed and changes in
attitude, values, and motivation
 Methods for Evaluating your Teaching

1. Self-reflection on teaching: is the cornerstone of a healthy, effective

teaching practice. Keeping track of what`s working (or not working) in the
classroom can help you improve your ability to engage students.
2. Gathering students feedback: Gathering information from your students
about their experience as learners in your class is a valuable way to assess
your teaching. There are many ways of collecting feedback from you
students: Small group instructional diagnosis, surveys, webQ`s and open-
ended feedback forms. Which method is best, depends on your
assessment objectives and the kind of information you need
3. Collaborating with colleagues: Faculty may find colleague “peer
reviews” a valuable way to gain multiple perspectives on teaching and
learning as well as a welcome addition to tenure files. Observations are
most effective when approached as a collaboration meant to benefit all
involved.
4. Assessing students learning: Practices related to grading – both as an
assessment of students performance and as a mechanism through
which students receive feedback on their work – vary widely across
disciplines, course levels, departments, institutions and instructor.
5. Hybrid and online course assessment: This rubric is a tool instructors
can use to guide their evaluation of their own or a colleague`s hybrid or
online teaching. The rubric reflects practices that have been shown to
increase learner engagement and success in online learning
environments.
A. Reflective Practice Using Learner Attainment Data

• Being a teacher, we are expected to continuously assess and monitor

learners performance as part of classroom instruction. This is to
determine whether our instructional strategies are working well for all
learners and to identify learners who need instructional interventions. We
need to evaluate how effective our Learning program is and what
adjustments can be clear in the way we teach our learner.
Understanding the following key concept's facilitate deeper
appreciation of the indicator and helps you practice monitoring
and evaluation of learners progress and achievement effectively.

• Monitoring: Refers to the continuous and systematic use of data in

order to track learner progress through a variety of forms such as daily
learning log, class record, progress chart, checklist and anecdotal
record.
• Evaluation: Refers to the periodic and systematic use of
assessment forms and strategies (quarterly assessment, pre-
test and post-test) in order to judge learner achievement; that
is how well the learner has attained the knowledge/or skills
covered in unit.
Learners Attainment Data. This pertains to evidence(s) and results of
various assessment that are used in the monitoring and evaluation of learner
progress and achievement.

• Daily lesson log. That shows all lessons that need to be

achieved by the learners.
• Electronic log. Monitors individuals attainment data whether
the learners passed or failed.
Another evidence that will help teachers is;

1. Learners test scores. Test scores are a result of formative

assessment . This strategically enable the teacher to evaluate
the effectiveness of their teaching. Through the learners test
score, teachers can track whether the learners really learned
and grasped the lesson and skills.
2. Learners non-test data and other information. There are
different format of non-testing assessment such as teacher
observations wherein the teacher can assess students abilities
and as well as observing their behaviour in the classroom.
• Portfolios
• Oral assessment
