why do teachers need to evaluate their learners?

Question

what is the imporatnce of learner evaluation for teacher development

Answer 1

Progress.

What are the implications for learners if they are not evaluated? How can an education provider assess themselves without evaluating their learners?

I believe that it is important for both parties in education for assessment and evaluation on every level. It lets everyone know where they are, where they need to improve and where they deserve praise.

Answer 2

When a teacher evaluates, not only is the teacher checking the progress of the student but is also checking his own methodology. The teacher then can see if the way he goes about presenting the material is getting through. A teacher needs to progress as well as .

Answer 3

Teachers evaluate and assess student acheivement so they know that they learned something. You can't expect students to just absorb everything you say, and regurgitate it back twenty years later.

Also, the state needs to know whether the students that it is graduating are ready to meet the workforce requirements of them today. This is how states draw in big business, by education scores.

Answer 4

The process of learning begins from cradle and continues up to grave. But Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. In a time of drastic change it is the learners who inherit the future. The learned usually find themselves equipped to live in a world that no longer exists. All of us are not a teacher: only a fellow traveler of whom people asked the way. We pointed ahead-ahead of ourselves as well as them. We have to do something and work because the miracle of the seed and the soil is not available by affirmation; it is only available by labor.

Answer 5

To recognize problems when they surface or when they are small enough to deal with...ever try the following? In using the inner circle (also called fishbowl) technique I announce that at the next class meeting we are going to have a class within a class, with 6 to 15 students acting as the discussion group and the others as observers. Classroom has movable chairs? Then arrange the seating in concentric circles. Students who are normally silent will talk when they feel the increased sense of responsibility as members of the inner circle. This "fishbowl" can be used in small, as well as large, classes. Tell students that at the next class meeting the teacher chooses 6 to 15 students to be "in the fishbowl." You then conduct a discussion (based on the work to date) with the students in the fishbowl. The rest of the students are to act as observers and recorders, noting both the process and the content of the discussion. Before the end of the class period, observers write a brief summary of the discussion and/or answer the question, "What would you have said that wasn't said?"

Answer 6

We all learn in a different way. When teachers evaluate their students they identify different learning styles to modify, plan, and implement instruction efficiently. Also you need to know what they do not know to start teaching. You do not want to teach something they already know because it will be a waste of time. And you do not want to teach something too far ahead from their developmental stage because this will create gaps in their learning. You need to pre asses them to plan efficient instruction.

Answer 7

They expect to have a feedback,besides I think their evaluation also give them fair and balance result about their teaching performence if they really care about it.
