Dear colleagues:
Please, do you know methodologies about assessing teaching in Basic Education around the world? Could you apppoint me bibliography on this matter?
Thank you!
Luis
A good article to put on the bibliography is Putcharee Junpeng, "The Development of Classroom Assessment System in Mathematics for Basic Education of Thailand," Procedia 69 (2012): 1965-1972. See http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1877042812056194.
May be the teaching efficacy scale could help you.
Please read the article from this site https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=teaching+efficacy+scale+bandura&btnG=&hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5
Dear Luis Maraví Zavaleta,
I am writing to inform you that I read one interesting book about assessment.
It is Barbara E. Walvoord (2010) Assessment Clear and Simple
A Practical Guide for Institutions, Departments, and General Education
Second Edition. San Francisco: John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
Please find interesting article as a PDF file.
I hope I have been of some help.
Best regards,
Andrija
There is a lot of discussion about assessing teacher effectiveness in the US. One of the most contentious aspects is how (and whether) to include student performance in the assessment. Some aspects about the statistical procedures are discussed here (https://www.researchgate.net/project/Measuring-school-teacher-effectivessness). The Gates Foundation study (Kane et al.) is a widely cited and well thought of study (https://www.gatesfoundation.org/media-center/press-releases/2013/01/measures-of-effective-teaching-project-releases-final-research-report). There are lots of other sources about measuring teacher effectiveness that usefulness will depend on your purpose, but google will help locating most of them.
Here are two articles, one of which might be of use:

https://eric.ed.gov/?q=danielson&ft=on&id=EJ1062289
An overlooked but very relevant issue on which to measure: Student Engagement.
I suggest the following web site :
Assess Teaching and learning (https://www.cmu.edu/teaching/assessment/)
Informal assessments can be carried out at the end of a class session or through student periodical
A different view? We have OFSTED (Office for standards in Education) here in the UK who inspect every maintained school and further education college. There are lots of documents on their website which may interest you as they are looking at how teaching is taught and assessed. Their inspections can close schools if teaching is not up to standard.

We could assess the students by creating the following:
assignments.
exams.
classroom assessment techniques.
concept maps.
Assessing group work.
Many evaluation frameworks have been proposed, and most of them have emphasized the following criteria for teacher evaluation:
1. teacher knowledge of the subject matter and its teaching (theoretical and practical)
2. classroom mangment
3. student engagment
4. knowledge of testing
5. knowledge of students' differences
I like using Action Research, and depending upon the issue, I also like to use an A-B-A design.
The feedback information from the students about the teacher experience should be used to reflect their opinion as a learners in the teacher class whcih is a valuable method to assess the teaching.
Our faculty members, both individually and as colleagues examining their department’s education programs, have found the following activities helpful when undertaking outcome assessment:
Developing expected student learning outcomes for an individual course of study, including laboratory skills.
Determining the point in a student’s education (e.g., courses, laboratories, and internships) at which he/she should develop the specified knowledge and skills.
Incorporating the specified learning outcomes in statements of objectives for the appropriate courses and experiences.
Selecting or developing appropriate assessment strategies to test student learning of the specified knowledge and skills.
Using the results from assessment to provide formative feedback to individual students and to improve curriculum and instruction.
Adjusting expected learning outcomes if appropriate and assessing learning again. Such a process can lead to continual improvement of curriculum and instruction.
Class evaluations and observations supply brilliant feedback concerning student satisfaction and teaching method, except they don’t give the significant information of how much your students are learning. Altering the method you assess student learning can progress our teaching effectiveness, since it gives direct feedback on what works as well as what doesn’t.
Greetings there are many ways for evaluation of oral and written and practical tests or performing thanks
Yes, there are many ways for evaluation. it is important to choice suitable one in order to get good feed back and results
The methods highlighted by colleagues on evaluation are good! However, you will get more reliable outcomes if you use Experimental-based methods.
