Different ways of evaluation our own teaching practise
Basically, evaluation is either about proving something is working or needed, or improving practice or a project (Rogers and Smith 2006).
There Methods for Evaluating Your Teaching
1.Self-monitoring:
Teachers monitor their own performance as they teach. Teachers should monitor themselves while teaching. After each teaching session, teachers should ask themselves (or complete a brief self-evaluation form) on whether they have met their determined goals and objectives, and evaluate the good and the to-be-improved aspects of the session. Teachers can keep a log (i.e. a teaching portfolio, or video log as described in the next section) to track their own progress and improvement over time.
2. Audio and video recording: Teachers can audio- or video-tape their teaching sessions, which allows them to keep record of and investigate their actual teaching performance in detail. Teachers can review the records with other colleagues to discuss the areas for improvements.
3. Students’ feedback on teaching: Students' perception of learning experience in class is sometimes the
most direct way to weigh how effective a teacher delivers his teaching.
Feedback from observation by other colleagues and experts: Teachers can invite other colleagues or experts to sit in their classes and directly observe how the teaching is conducted (including teaching style, contents, pace etc.), to give feedback and constructive criticisms. Similar to video recording, observation by other people allows teachers to become aware of many things that they are too busy to notice while conducting their teaching. Teachers can negotiate with the observers before the class observation regarding the areas of focus, and discuss the important points in a debriefing meeting afterwards.
