Načini evaluacije i građenje značenja kvaliteta rada nastavnika

Abstract

Mnoge zemlje su danas u potrazi za načinima da unaprede svoj sistem obrazovanja, a u tim nastojanjima se sve veća očekivanja postavljaju pred nastavnike. Savremeni momenat politike i prakse regulisanja pitanja kvaliteta (rada) nastavnika odlikuju nastojanja da se standardizuju liste kompetencija nastavnika i da se obezbede načini da se rad nastavnika stavi pod kontrolu. U takvom pristupu kontrole kvaliteta postoji opasnost da se kvalitet rada nastavnika ograniči na uniformne kategorije o kojima sami nastavnici nemaju prilike da odlučuju, a osnovna svrha evaluacije na osiguravanje poslušnosti nastavnika prema spoljašnje postavljenim zahtevima.

In utilizing such a quality control approach there is a risk to narrow down quality of teachers’ work to uniform categories, about which teachers themselves do not have the opportunity to decide, and to limit the purpose of evaluation to simply ensuring teachers comply with these requirements. This indicates the need to search for a different approach to quality of teachers’ work. Contemporary pedagogical approaches of postmodern orientation raise the idea of quality as a personal construct of teachers and point out that evaluation is meaningless, if its purpose is not in developing practice. Having this in mind, the key starting point in this work is the recognition of the need to the meanings of teachers’ work quality by providing the opportunities to discuss about this issue and to question those meanings. In this process, the perspective of teachers themselves is seen as a core source of information, but also as a way to acknowledge teachers as professionals...
