Evaluation of Teachers in Primary and Secondary School

Odgoj i obrazovanje jedna su od najvažnijih zadaća svakog društva, a za proces obrazovanja najvažniji su učenici, nastavnici i sam nastavni proces. Evaluacija podrazumijeva procjenu, ocjenjivanje i određivanje vrijednosti te je važna etapa odgojno – obrazovnog procesa. Ona umnogome doprinosi kvaliteti nastave, a time i općenito društvu u kojem živimo. Evaluirati rad nastavnika je potrebno kako bi se na temelju rezultata evaluacije moglo uvidjeti što treba poboljšati ili unaprijediti u daljnjemu radu. Kada se u školskom sustavu pojavila evaluacija rada nastavnika, ona je inicijalno bila shvaćena kao prijetnja, no to se vremenom promijenilo te je danas evaluacija shvaćena kao sredstvo napretka. Postoje razne vrste evaluacije, poput dijagnostičke, formativne i finalne. Jedna od najvažnijih je i samoevaluacija, koja podrazumijeva osobnu procjenu kvalitete vlastitoga rada, te koja služi nastavniku za poboljšanje i unaprjeđivanje vlastite odgojno-obrazovne prakse. Ovaj je proces važan za svakog nastavnika jer mu služi za poboljšanje i napredak. Za evaluaciju rada nastavnika važni su, ponajprije sami učenici, potom kritički prijatelji te kolege nastavnici.Education is one of the most important tasks of any society, and the most important for the educational process are students, teachers and the teaching process itself. Evaluation implies assessment, evaluation and determination of values and is an important stage of the educational process. In accordance with the previously mentioned, the evaluation of teachers' work is extremely important because it greatly contributes to the quality of teaching, and thus to the society in which we live. It is necessary to evaluate the work of teachers, so that based on the results of the evaluation, it can be seen what needs to be improved in further work. When the evaluation of teachers' work appeared in the school system, it was initially perceived as a threat, but this changed over time and today evaluation is understood as a means of improvement. There are various types of evaluation, such as diagnostic, formative and final. One of the most important is self-evaluation, which involves a personal assessment of the quality of teachers' own work, and which serves to improve and advance one's own educational practice. This process is important for every teacher because it serves for improvement and progress. For the evaluation of teachers' work, the most important are the students themselves, then critical friends and fellow teachers
