Observing Teachers Skills about the Assessment of Students: A Standard-based Teacher Evaluation

Abstract

    The study's aim was to observe teachers' skills about the assessment of students on the basis of National Professional Standards for Teachers approved by the Government of Pakistan federal education Ministry (2009). These standards provide a mechanism for the evaluation of teachers. The sample of the study comprised of 256 teachers. An observational checklist was employed for observing the skills of teachers regarding different dimensions of the assessment of students. The study explored that the teachers were conducting all the phases of assessment e.g. developing test, marking of a test, documenting and reporting tests results, and to use tests results competently but deficiencies were observed regarding the process of administrating test. Based on the results, relevant pre-service and in- service training as well as certain remedial measures for teachers' education programs were suggested according to the mechanism of aforesaid standards so that the dream of quality teaching in the region may be fulfilled.
