Teacher quality has become the common agenda of elementary and secondary schools and higher education institutions. Teacher evaluation is one of the major approaches adopted across the country to enhance teacher quality. The main purposes of this study are to compare and analyze the teacher evaluation policies between Universities and schools in Taiwan. It attempts to provide universities and schools adaptable pathways to improve the policy of teacher evaluation. To achieve the above purposes, this study adopts the comparative research method. It uses the evaluation policy wheel as a conceptual framework to explore the teacher evaluation policies. The evaluation policy wheel is divided into nine aspects include legal basis, purpose of evaluation, object of evaluation, evaluation organization, evaluation standard, evaluation method, evaluator training, and meta-evaluation. Results showed that there are many different characteristics in teacher evaluation policies between universities and schools. Universities adopted an accountability-oriented evaluation policy and used to measure faculty performance, and schools adopted an improvement-oriented evaluation policy and emphasized on teacher development. A central issue is linking the teacher evaluation policy to individual development as well as institutional development. Teacher evaluation must give serious attention to the impact of change on the individual and on the organization. Finally, some implications regarding the design and implementation of teacher evaluation policy are discussed. |
