Paul: At my university, our teaching performance is based on a few factors. First, the Dean or Associate Dean visits our classroom at least once per year and observes our teaching methods. They generate a written report. That report is part of our evaluation.

Second, each student in all of our courses is asked to complete an online teacher evaluation. My university uses the IDEA form for student evaluations. More information on the IDEA form can be found here:

https://www.ideaedu.org/Services/Services-to-Improve-Teaching-and-Learning/Student-Ratings-of-Instruction

Third, we have peer reviews at my university. A professor from outside your field of study volunteers to observe one or more of your class and make written comments about your strengths and weaknesses.

Fourth, each professor writes a self-evaluation once per year. This is where each professor evaluates their own performance.

I greatly appreciate the detailed response. Thank you Dr. Paul Stock

Just as assessment that supports learning is critical for student development, teacher evaluation that focuses on providing accurate

evidence of practice and supports improvement is central for teachers’ development. Having clear standards that teachers are

expected to meet is an important starting point considered in this chapter. We review evaluation processes, emphasising the

importance of teachers’ reflective participation. We also consider classroom observation practices and giving feedback to teachers

who support professional growth and development.

Very interesting question,

I will be important if we can share experience from different univresities and countries

Thank you dear Paul for sharing your university experience. I have question about professor evaluation by students. Sometimes, students evaluate negatively a teacher because he gives less marks or give more homework and projects, ... what do you think about this evaluation?

Paul: Good question, Karima. Usually only one or two students make a negative comment. And they are outliers. Plus you can explain to your supervisor.

Good Question!

There are several significant criteria; please find the attachment.

I think the evaluation criteria through the level of the student as well as the research provided by the teaching in addition to attending seminars, workshops and conferences have a role in the annual assessment of teaching.

I agree with Prof. Paul Stock.

Question and answers very successful..

The teaching methodologies adopted by the teachers, their knowledge in the subjects handled by them, their communicarion skills, periodic inspection by senior professors, industrial visits arranged by them, the number of students they inspired or motivated to participate in seninars conferences and in writing research articles etc.

I am agree with the members and very good discussion

Good question and discussed well

I do agree with our colleague Dr. Paul, it is very active procedure sir.

Any method that will involve all stakeholders: the management, the students, industrial/labour organization and community should be adopted.

I totally go with Dear Dr. Paul, It's valuable evaluation.

I support the advanced views of colleagues, teaching and research at all levels, as any institutional work periodically needs evaluation and evaluation to know the current situation and from starting to development, and can be done through reports of internal and external consultants and evaluation forms of students, And can be done through reports from internal and external consultants and evaluation forms from students, It is important to have a department in the Ministry of Higher Education dedicated to quality control and reliability, familiar with what is being done in the advanced universities, and works to study what is appropriate to the local situation

Interesting discussion. We are all ok for evaluation professor, student and program?

It is a broad and complex subject, and generally, the achievement of high quality standards can only be achieved through the work and activities (teaching and research at all grsdes) that are planned and implemented within the educational institution that offers the educational programs. In keeping with this principle, the process of quality assurance and academic accreditation of educational institutions depends on the self-evaluation of the institution itself according to accepted standards of good practice in general, and verification of the results of the evaluation by an independent external auditor.

Looking to know more about the modern methods of teaching and evaluation especially for big classes

I totally agree with Dr. Paul Stock, yet I think this is not enough to assess teaching there must be be other means along to dean's assessment

There are Performance Evaluation forms available for the Assesment of College and University Teachers. Evaluation forms includes Various Activities Lectures delivered Attendence Research Publications Others. My point is that the evaluation score should not be assesed by single assesor it should be assesed by a team or various people seperately to remove Bias. Regards

I do agree with our colleague Dr. Paul, it is very active procedure sir.

I think the level of student achievement and the application of what he actually learned and the level of understanding and progress in the knowledge of students

I think the quality of education and the quality of laboratories, the number of workshops and conferences in the specialty and the number of research published in Scopes or Thomson Router

I agree with @ Paul Stock

Thank you colleagues for your contr to this discussion.

I think that When the students pass the testings

The scientific outputs of the research, the performance of the students and their comprehension of the teacher should be an important indicator in assessing the performance of the university professor

Nice question and informative contributions by RG colleagues.

Thank you Sadanand Pandey , Mohammed Thabit Salih Al-Zubaidi , Marwan Khaleel Yousif , Syed Asad Ali Zaidi , Luay Abdulwahid Shihab , for your contributions to this discussion.

In my university, the students answer some questionnaires every semester to assess the lecturer and the course program.

Students results

Very important and impressive discussion with valuable comments from our RG colleagues

We have a questionnaire for the teachers each year which includes the activities of the scientific professors and his interaction with the students on the basis of which is the annual calendar which has an impact in the scientific promotion

As far as my perception goes, the following are the factors to considered for appraising the performance of the college or university teacher:

1. Academic results produced for their concerned subjects

2. Paper publications in journals

3. Revenue generated through consultancy work

4. Paper presentation in conferences

5. Attending FDP, workshops

6. Patent filed/published

7. Innovative teaching methods introduced

8. Students feedback

Your participation has made this discussion valuable, Krishna Kumar Duraisamy بان حميد فرحان Madhu Bala

I completely agree with Dr Madhu Bala

Hello, there are a number of approaches that can be used in evaluating teaching. The most common include:

Classroom observations (by managers, other teachers or external evaluators).

Value-added models that try to measure gains in student achievement.

Student evaluations of teachers.

Judgements made by the teacher’s line manager or principal

Teacher self-evaluation

Teacher portfolios of work.

360 degree feedback criteria .

The best way is from the students.

Teaching evaluation for college or university teachers is the student.

The students performance should be the basis for evaluation.

The students performance are the basic measure.

I believe that the level of the student and the efficiency and nature of the goals that have been achieved will suit the requirements of the parties concerned or customers.

Ideally, it should be students' success and achievements together with lecturer personal achievements (publications, participation in the conferences etc).
