In an era of digital disruptions and reduced attention span, everyone should learn this old journalistic adage: ‘Keep it short and simple’.
The same principle applies to matters of student learning. Diligent effort from key players, such as students, teachers and parents, should lead to favourable outcomes.While student outcomes cannot solely be based on teacher performance , it is concerning to see the massive disconnect between the two, say experts.
In addition, the report highlighted that by the end of Grade Five, 42% of Malaysian students cannot read a grade-appropriate paragraph with comprehension, and that by the age of 15, they lag behind aspirational peers in reading, mathematics and science as measured by international assessments chief executive officer Chan Soon Seng said with only 0.02% of teachers scoring below 60% in performance evaluations, this means that less than 90 out of the more than 400,000 teachers are underperforming.
He added that one way of strengthening teacher performance evaluation is through the use of student feedback. “This should include a system of regular feedback and professional development opportunities to support teachers in continuously improving their content knowledge and pedagogical skills.Parent Action Group for Education Malaysia chairman Datin Noor Azimah Abdul Rahim said the metrics used to assess teachers need to be scrutinised as data can be manipulated to “show a pretty picture”.
“The ministry’s Educational Policy Planning and Research Division should study every aspect that measures educational achievement. Their findings should be shared to ensure this division serves as a check and balance for educational policies,” he said.Fouzi also emphasised the importance of enhancing teacher competencies through training programmes.
