▶ Your Answer : Some
people think that evaluating teacher by other teachers is better than students.
However, I disagree with the idea that teachers are evaluated by other teacher
better than by students for the following two reasons. First, if they can’t
assess their teachers, they will be more stressed. Second, Evaluations from
students provide more clear information of progress teachers’ teaching ability.
First of all, students can reduce their
stress. What this means is that students are under a lot of stress and pressure
due to this competitiveness of today’s society. If students don’t have rights
to evaluate their teacher, students will not learn in the direction students
want, which makes the them to get more stress. Finally, due to the stress, they
won’t study more efficiently. Also, their class participation will decrease.
Let me bring my personal story as an example. When I was in high school, we
couldn’t assess our teacher, and he were just evaluated by other teachers. Even
after the evaluation, they didn’t change his teaching style. We didn’t want the
teaching style. Therefore, we got more stress, and we didn’t take part in his
class well. If we had rights to assess our teacher, we would participate in his
class well.
Assessments from students provide teachers with more solid
proof of progress of their teaching ability. Without assessments from students,
teacher wouldn’t be able to determine how well they are teaching. Also, other
teachers don’t know the teacher’s teaching style well if the teacher is
evaluated by other teachers, they can’t make it possible to know which areas of
their education require more effort. For instance, research conducted by a
professor at the University of JYP clearly shows the importance of assessment
of students as a measurement of progress of teachers’ teaching skills. She
discovered that the assessments are a way for teachers to communicate with
their students about specific information related to teacher’s teaching styles.
By the communication, teacher can teach students more efficiently. As a result,
assessments from students motivate teacher to focus more intently on how to
teach students more efficiently, and give teacher more accurate information
with respect to students’ increase satisfactions about teachers’ teaching
style.
In
conclusion, as students assess their teachers, they can be less stressful, and
teachers can get more accurate information about progress of their teaching. That
is, Assessments from students give not only teachers but also students more
advantages. In this regard, I strongly, insist that teacher should be evaluated
by their students. |
