Benefits of the Students Evaluating the
Teacher
It is an excellent idea for
schools to ask their students to rate teachers because of the benefits for both
the teachers and the students. Teachers will be able to improve their teaching
styles and strategies and students will be able to become more positively
involved in school and their studies.
On one hand, teachers who are
evaluated can receive concrete advice from their very students on how to
improve their teaching skills that would make it more responsive to the needs
of the students.
- Teachers will learn about their own weaknesses and
work harder to improve in those areas. To be a teacher is not an assurance
that one is perfect when it comes to doing the profession. Evaluation will
help instructors by reminding them that they must leave room for
improvements.
- Hearing about what the students enjoy will encourage
teachers tom prepare more interesting and interactive lesson plans. The
preparation must be done in accordance with what kind of students a
teacher has.
- Teachers could gain ideas for classroom activities
from student suggestions. Nobody knows what they want but the students
themselves. Their suggestions must be taken very well.
- Teachers would polish themselves to be more
competitive. Thus, paving the way to a better educational system in every
country. And, we know the world needs it so much.
On the other hand, students will
become more interested and involved in their education.
- Students will think seriously about the quality of
education they are receiving while writing evaluations. Some of students
are passive but when they will be given the chance to evaluate, it will be
time for them to realize the value of their studies- and the pay they give
for education.
- Students will have the opportunity to play an active
role in their education by expressing their concerns. Education is endless
but necessary- it is something to be valued.
- They will be awakening to the fact that they need
quality teachers and bear in mind that if they become professionals they
have to pursue for excellence.
In conclusion, asking students to
evaluate their teachers is an important step towards gaining and improving the
quality of education. Teachers will gain insight into excellent teaching and
also, student participation land performance will improve when students are
given the chance to express their opinions. Evaluation is the best form of
regulating the good from the poor quality of education.
