Evaluation is centrally concerned with the making of value judgments. In the school setting, evaluation underpins the teachers development of curriculum activities, his/her selection of instructional objectives in his/her day-today lesson planning and choice of materials and methods by which to judge the progress of his/her students. Evaluation enables the teacher to make appropriate decisions about his/her ongoing classroom activities and to plan future activities more purposefully and effectively in the light of his knowledge of the progress of his/her students. Appropriate decisions, however, depend upon correct judgments and these in turn can only be derived from adequate instruments and applications of knowledge glean as a result of training to become a teacher. This paper discussed the evaluation of student-teachers by supervisors who go the practicing schools to supervise the would-be-teachers (student-teachers) in order to ascertain that the would-be-teachers are putting into practice the theories and methods learnt; as well as an examination process to assess teaching effectiveness to grade the student-teachers. It was recommended that the assessment of student-teachers should be done by both the cooperating teacher (mentor) from the practicing school as well as the visiting supervisor from the training institutions as this is not currently the case.

STUDENT TEACHERS’ PERCEPTIONS ABOUT TEACHING PRACTICE EVALUATIONS BY SUPERVISORS AND CO-OPERATING TEACHERS IN ENUGU STATE2017 •
The problem centers around the suspicions that student teachers do not often heartily accept the marks awarded to them by the their supervisors and the co-operating teachers, where the latter take part in the grading at the end of their teaching practice exercises. But some individuals hold the view that there are no ground for these state of minds. These necessitated the study to identify the student teachers beliefs about teaching and evaluation of their performances by the co-operating and supervising teachers. One hundred and fifty student teachers from Eha-Amufu college of Education and Alvan Ikoku College of Education Owerri were sampled. Questionnaire was used for the data collection. Statistical analysis used was the percentage. The study revealed that; student teachers believe that the co-operating teachers comments on their performances were not biased; student teachers recommended that supervisors be matched with students from their own disciplines only, also that they should be more frequently supervised to enable them received enough corrections before final gradings are made. The researcher recommended that; the co-operating teachers whose classes are usually taken over by the student teachers should physically witness every lesson delivered by the student teachers. This will enable proper guidance to be made. Also, that supervising teachers preferably should come from same disciplines as the student teachers. Finally, it is recommended that the evaluation sheets should be made available, at least for a glance to the student teachers for maximum corrections to be made.

Students’ Perception on Teaching Practice Assessment: Implications on Teacher Professional Performance in Nigeria2016 •
The present study investigated on student teachers ’ competence in various aspects of teaching practice through self-evaluation approach. A total of 105 student-teachers filled the questionnaire; descriptive and inferential statistics established mean scores and differences. The study established that student-teachers, regardless of their demographic categorizations, are very competent in teaching, evaluation and supervision of co-curricular activities. Student-teachers are competent in guidance and counselling activities, though the competence level in this area is slightly lower than that of other dimensions of teaching practice. The study recommends strong motivation to educators by the University administration for them to continue doing their best in teacher training and calls for university lecturers to put more efforts in giving student-teachers guidance and counselling skills. Similar studies are recommended at the University of Arusha’s main campus and other universities in...

Evaluation of Nigerian Teachers Performance by Some Selected Parents in Oke-Ogun Local Government Education Areas of Oyo State, Nigeria2015 •
The purpose of this study was to improve the assessment and evaluation skills of teachers in public primary and secondary schools in Jigawa state, Nigeria. These were with a view of improving the quality of assessment and evaluation skills of teachers in public employment in the state. The study employed a mixed method approach of both survey and quasi-experimental designs. The target population of this study comprised teachers in all public primary and secondary schools in the state. The sample comprised of 115 participants randomly selected from public primary and secondary schools. Three self-developed instruments were used in the study. Frequency counts, percentile, mean (̅) scores, standard deviations, independent t-test, Analysis of Covariance (ANCOVA), and Fisher's t-test were used to analyse the data. The results revealed that there was low level of compliance to and implementation of the objectives of Continuous Assessment in the state. That objectives of Continuous Assessment have been partly achieved in the state-owned public schools. Also, there existed a significant effect of the treatment on the teachers' skills in evaluation techniques of cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains of learning in public schools. There is a need to train and retrain all public school teachers in the state on the concept and philosophy of Continuous Assessment. Not only this, but also there should be enough teachers and facilities to man Continuous Assessment in public schools in the state.
This paper investigated if there was a significant difference between the evaluation of female and male student teachers in the following areas of teaching practice: preparation, supervision, teaching environment and teaching practice experience. The data collected was encoded and analyzed using the Predictive Analysis Software (PASW). Twenty six (26) student teachers undertaking their TP at various schools within Nandi Central District, nineteen (19) females and seven (7) males participated. To ensure reliability, a pilot study was conducted in three schools within Nandi South District which had students on teaching practice; one boys’ school, one girls’ school and one mixed school. A reliability Coefficient of 0.60 was set as a cut- off point. The males feel they did not gain much from the feedback of the supervisors, whereas their female counterparts benefitted immensely from the supervisors’ feedback. Both females and males agree that the collaborating teacher did not attend the...

Perceived Assessment Instructional Skill Needed by Primary School Teachers for Improving Teaching in Enugu State2020 •
2014 •
Evaluation is a systematic planned inquiry undertaken in order to enable decision-makers to make judgments concerning the worth of an educational policy, or project and to achieve certain aims and purposes. Evaluation can be a costly waste of time and effort, but when done efficiently, vigorously and with the intention of improving educational provision, it is likely to be worthwhile, for the new knowledge gained can be fed back into the system to improve what goes on in the name of education. Teaching is an art. When a group evaluates art in a museum, the ratings and criteria can vary widely. The same is true when trying to effectively evaluate a teacher. While some things are quite straight forward and necessary, other intangibles can make a teacher more successful than their peers. Instead of trying to cram square pegged teachers into the round holes of the evaluation format, perhaps it is time to re-invent the evaluation format to include a broader interpretation of what good te...
