Several waves of education reform in Taiwan lead us to care about the evaluation system that works on teachers. However, it is little known that the evaluation, as such, is a contested field, never taking consideration how a power structure works on a teacher in the name of enhancing his or her professional development. Most of all, the power structure thereof does not cause any noticeable oppression; it phases in subtle changes to remodel teachers. This paper attempts to raise following questions, basing on the theoretical framework of Foucaulian sense of power/discipline: 1. How does disciplinary power come about in the evaluation system? 2. What kind of ideology is there in the evaluation to make teachers compliant? 3. How could teachers who are under evaluation respond to the evaluation? This paper discovered that in the processes of evaluation, the disciplinary power came into effect to generate a set of ruling techniques and relevant criteria. For teachers, the evaluation was like a competition. It made them competitive, so as to enhance their performance spontaneously. Teachers reacted but, in reality, they had to adopt an atypical approach to resist. All in all, teachers’ profession autonomy should be protected against the manipulation of power in the course of evaluation. |
