Evaluative Deficiencies in Teacher Performance and Their Effects on the Quality of Teaching and Learning

Abstract

Introduction: Making visible the evaluative deficiencies faced by teachers in a specific educational context constitutes a starting point for understanding how such limitations directly impact the quality of the teaching-learning process. Objective: To identify the deficiencies in the processes of teacher performance evaluation at the Unidad Educativa Juan de Salinas and their impact on the quality of teaching and learning. Methods: Descriptive/explanatory research with an exploratory approach, based on a representative sample of teachers from the Unidad Educativa Juan de Salinas (n=36), analysing multiple dimensions of perceptions regarding purposes, procedures, feedback, fairness, and the impact of teacher evaluation. Results: The highest-rated dimension was Purposes (M=3.25; SD=0.68), located at a moderate level, with 50 % of teachers in this category. In contrast, Fairness and credibility obtained the lowest score (M=2.10; SD=0.85), with 52.8 % in the very low category, reflecting distrust towards the evaluation system. Procedures and processes reached a mean of 2.90, considered low, with 44.4 % of teachers in this range. Similarly, Feedback obtained 2.45, with 72.2 % in low or very low levels. Finally, Impact on practice and motivation registered an average of 2.70, with 69.4 % of teachers in low or very low valuations. Conclusions: Deficiencies in teacher evaluation are evident, with negative effects on teaching and learning. Perceptions reflect an evaluation system restricted in terms of fairness, credibility, and feedback.
