Description

The aim of this paper is to establish a checklist that evaluates the quality of student teacher training lessons. The checklist is composed of 31 items and it includes two viewpoints: lesson preparation and lesson procedure. Evaluation of each lesson is based on six distinct components: teaching skill, oral instruction, in-class decision-making, class communication, blackboard presentation and subject material (lesson content). Three judges evaluate eight lessons using the same framework. The results are as follows: 1- The evaluation results vary depending on the judges. The individual reasoning of the judges has some effect on the evaluations. Scores given for the “lesson plan” and “teaching process” segments differ from those given for other components. On the other hand, the average scores for the components of each lesson are almost the same. 2- The evaluations of the “lesson comprehension” and “lesson pace” components are higher for the second teaching practice. There are two challenges in determining the evaluation framework. One is to carefully select the checklist and the other is to refine the quality of the criteria.
