a. Do you feel that you are being assessed during the lesson observation?
b. Do you feel stress out when preparing for lesson observation?
c. Do you think our current practice of lesson observation benefitted you?

a) Yes
b) Definitely yes
c) Yes, at least i am aware of areas to improve on.
d) Not necessarily the same lesson pedagogy for all my lessons.
e) Approach lesson observation as though it is not a LESSON OBSERVATION, i.e. treating our official lesson observation as just normal day-to-day lesson. Practise makes perfect. Preparing for lesson obs is not ideal. Preparing for what we do everyday is more crucial.
Lye Peng
a) Yes, I'm being assessed.
b) Yes... Stress OUT -_-"
c) No, because sometimes there is no post-lesson observation conference
d) Sometimes, depending on the need of lessons and the profile of the class
e) Developmental rather than assessment
a. I would feel that I am being watched.
b. Maybe, because I do not know if my ideal lesson plan is what the observer deem also.
c. N.A.
d. I think it is subjected to the topics. Pedagogy is topic driven.
e. Maybe it should be recorded.....
Lian Beng
a) Yes
b) Not really. If I'm being observed for the things which I seldom practise in classroom teaching, I'll be stressed out.
c) Yes, I'll know where did I go wrong.
d) Once in awhile where time allows, I'll try out something new in my teaching.
e) Get peers to assess first, then the formal observation. At least there's a few rounds of improvement to own's lesson.
Ginny
(a)Yes.
(b)Ok. You get used to it.
(c)NA for me. But I do find that lesson observation does allow me to reflect on my teaching.
(d)Sometimes.
(e)To take it as a positive feedback - to improve on my teaching. Utimately students will benefit.
Fanny
a) Yes
b) Yes
c) Yes
d) No
e) Just walk in & observe the
lesson. Give feedback at the
end of lesson.
a. Of course, aren't we ?
b. Of course, don't others?
c. Of couse NOT
d. That's unrealistic expectation
e. Be realistic. Lessons that serve the objectives , does not take too much time to prepare and well-received by pupils should be observed and shared. Maybe pupils feedback will tell us which teacher we can approach to share with us. Then we can modify and try and maybe let others observe.
(a) Yes, I believe so.
(b) some level of stress. If I am instructed to prepare a lesson with a specified approach.
(c) To some extent, yes.
(d) Generally, yes. But some topics are dealt with different teaching approaches. (e.g. IT ,etc)
(e) I do not mind uninformed lesson observation if the true picture is what you want.
Wee Wee
a) Yes.
b) Nope.
c) Yes. It provides a formal platform for feedback.
d) Nope
e) We should present our lesson like any other lesson and not try to spice things up. Lesson observation should be strictly developmental and not a form of assessment.
I dont like lesson observations as they makes me feel uneasy.
