This occurs in government schools in Ethiopia, and I'm very keen to find out if this occurs anywhere else in the world? (I'm not concerned with universities - only schools). Many thanks!
Rafael:
We have done some such evaluation but for a one-to-one laptop programme involving teachers in a secondary boys school that I hope would be helpful for you. I extend best wishes for every success with your research in the New Year.
Best regards,

Thanks Jae, that's a great lead!
In Fiji teachers are:
"subject to assessment by students and their immediate supervisor alongside the analysis of the outcome of external examination results on an individual teacher basis"

In case of India, primary and secondary school students do not participate in teacher evaluation.Evaluation of teachers by students at present is confined to college and university level.
There are schools in Australia that do. Mostly non-government I think. One I worked at developed a scheme in the early 1990's that was initially voluntary then agreed for all teachers as part of an overall appraisal for leaders, assistants, teachers, support staff. It worked very well. There is now a coaching and mentoring and p.d structure throughout the school. I may be able to put you in touch with the Senior teacher who participated in the design and is now the Coaching coordinator?
We're a PYP school and our students from G3-6 do, I'm a teacher-librarian and requested that I was included with the other single subject teachers. It's a computer questionnaire and it's good to see the remarks in particular.
Yes, I have experiences as a graduate student in a US institution evaluating each course, indirectly assessing the lecturers. Each lecturer handed out the evaluation sheet themselves at the last class for each course and collected them back.
In addition, I have had experience of letting higher education level students evaluate me anonymously in three institutions in my country. For one thing it keeps a lecturer on their toes.
Two of our Professors at Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad: Professor Vijaya Sherry Chand and Professor Kathan Shukula are planning a massive state wide intervention, when they will do exactly this. It will be a multi stakeholder engagement. Let me know if you need any more information.
In Kenya, at least in mid 1990s when I was a class prefect, I used to keep records for teachers who come to teach us. At the end of the week we submit the filled forms to the headteacher. This was a form of assessing teachers who are present in the week.
