Role and challenges of performance assessment in improving teaching work

Abstract

This research intends to analyze the role and the challenge of performance evaluation in improving the quality of teaching work, for which a qualitative study was chosen. For data collection, the interview technique directed to five teachers and three managers of primary and secondary schools in the district of Mandimba in the province of Niassa in Mozambique was selected. The results of the study show that teachers recognize the essential role of evaluation in improving teaching work, however, because after the teacher's evaluation, no concrete action is carried out, the management of educational institutions is challenged to promote activities that can contribute to greater appreciation of this process.
