The main objectives of student evaluation of teachers are: (a) To gather information about student weaknesses. (b) To make teachers take teaching seriously. (c) To help teachers adopt innovative methods of teaching. (d) To identify the areas of further improvement in teacher traits. Identify the correct answer from the codes given below:
(b), (c) and (d) only
The key to this question is noticing who is being evaluated. In student evaluation of teachers, students are the raters and the teacher is the one being assessed, so any objective concerning the assessment of students falls outside its purpose.
Statement (b) is an objective. Knowing that learners will give feedback creates accountability, and a teacher aware of being evaluated has reason to prepare carefully, keep to time and attend to how the class is receiving the material.
Statement (c) is an objective. Feedback tells a teacher which approaches engaged the class and which did not, which encourages experimentation with newer methods in place of those that demonstrably fail to work.
Statement (d) is an objective, and it is the central one. The purpose of the exercise is developmental: to identify specific areas - clarity of explanation, pace, approachability, fairness in assessment - where the teacher can improve.
Statement (a) is not an objective, and it is the statement that decides the question. Gathering information about student weaknesses is the aim of evaluating students, through tests and diagnostic assessment, and it runs in the opposite direction to the exercise described here.
Hence the main objectives are (b), (c) and (d).
