26.5 Present Status of Teacher Performance Assessment

National Policy of Education (1986) has emphasize\zed that there should be valid process of
evaluation of teacher performance. The University Grant Commission has suggested in (1969) to
develop criteria for teacher performance assessment and gui8ded in this direction.
D.R. Portia (1981) has found in his research study that teacher performance evaluation should be
done external form but there should be internal evaluation. It should include self evaluation and
by senior colleges. The students should not be included in the internal evaluation of teacher
performance. S.S. Chandra (1982) has stated that students evaluation may create tension and
dispute in the college. Similarly annual report should not be taken into consideration.
The national policy of education has recommended multi-dimensional process for teacher
evaluation e.g. Presage, process and Product criteria. Three dimensions should be included
competency, research work. Social service and participation in extension services.
Suggestions for Performance Assessment: The teacher should have the following information:
1. Teacher should have the awareness and copiousness about the performance assessment.
2. The purpose is to have quality in evaluation and into improvement.
3. The main stress should be given on self appraisal and evaluation.
