Self-evaluation and peer evaluation are described as important types of evaluation. Self-evaluation involves assessing one's own abilities and progress, while peer evaluation involves colleagues assessing each other's performance. The purposes, principles, characteristics, tools, steps, advantages and disadvantages of self-evaluation and peer evaluation are outlined. Evaluation in nursing education aims to assess students' knowledge, clinical skills, identify weaknesses, and improve teaching effectiveness.

4. INTRODUCTION
The term evaluation is derived from the
word ‘valoir’ which means ‘to be worth’. Evaluation is
the process of judging the value or worth of an
individual achievements or characteristics. Evaluation
is a decision making process that leads to suggestions
for actions to improve participants’ effectiveness and
program efficiency.
5. Evaluation is the process of determining to what extend
the educational objectives are being realized.
Ralph Tyler
Evaluation is a process of making judgements to be used
as a basis for planning . It consists of establishing goals, collecting
evidence, concerning growth towards goals, making judgements
about the evidence and revising procedures and goals in the light
of judgements. It is for improving the product, the process and even
the goals in themselves.

reflect and write down the lack points.
• It helps the students to get a better idea of the
goals that they are trying to reach.
• Students can take responsibility for their own
learning.
• They get a chance to predict their main targets for

• The self assessments are not always accurate.
• There is a general tendency for weak teachers to
over assess their capabilities.

one's colleagues assess his quality and
accuracy.
Peer review is a process by which
employees of the same rank, profession, and setting
evaluate one another’s job performance against
accepted standards.
- O‟ Loughlin and Kaulbach
21. GUIDING PRINCIPLES
• There must be acceptance of teacher evaluation
within the college as an integral part of educational
process.
• In the process of evaluation, teacher development
will occur only if a constructive approach is followed.
• Collaboration and mutual respect between teacher
and evaluator are essential.
• General agreement among concerned parties about
the college mission and job assignments must
precede implementation of a plan of teacher
evaluation.
• Teacher self- appraisal must become a significant
part of the process.
22. METHODS
• Direct observation
• Two stage assignments
• Moodle workshop
• Interview panel (viva style)
• Poster presentations
• OSCE style practice
• Record presentations for feedback
• Group work
23. METHODS
• Direct observation
It is the most frequent method used. The peer-
observer may be only passively present, or may be actively engaged
in the class while still serving the observation process. Selecting a peer
observer can be difficult.
• Two-stage Assignments:
It provides feedback on draft assignments
• Moodle Workshop
It is a good way to facilitate peer feedback activities.
It allows for anonymity or random allocation of pairs.
24. METHODS
• Interview panel (viva style):
Select 3-4 students to grade and give feedback on
one person’s presentation and these ‘panels’ are rotated. Everyone
gets an opportunity to give and receive feedback.
• Poster presentations:
Students walk around and ask questions to each
other about their posters. This allows for small audiences, is authentic,
and can be a nice scaffold for more anxious students.
• OSCE style practice
It can be practised in small break-out groups in
seminars
25. METHODS
• Record presentations for feedback:
If students are happy to do so, presentations (and clinical
skills practice) can be recorded, put online and students can watch and grade
them in their own time (See Using video for self assessment). This reduces
pressure to make decisions and judgments are more likely to be objective.
Students who are crippled by performing in front of an audience might
prefer this method of assessment. Consider the quality of sound and video
recordings however.
• Group work:
Evaluating peers’ contributions to group work in order to
counter social loafing
26. PROCESS OF PEER EVALUATION
• Establish a policy requiring peer reviews
• Establish criteria for peer evaluations
• Procedure for conducting peer evaluations
• Faculty chosen to conduct peer evaluations shall be
tenured and hold on academic rank higher than that
of the faculty member being evaluated.
• A written report, addressing the criteria, shall be
prepared and signed by the evaluator.
• The department shall archive the written evaluations
for use in future evaluations
• One copy of the peer evaluation shall be placed in the
permanent personnel file of the person being
evaluated
• All reports of peer evaluations shall be included in the
tenure file, and are to be carefully reviewed at the
department
27. ADVANTAGES
• Improves team work
• Encourage group members involvement and
responsibilities
• Encourage peers to reflects on their role and
contribution to the process of group work.
• Focuses on the development of judgement skills
• Provides more relevant feed back to the students
as it is generated by their peers.
• Give opportunities for the hidden leaders to be
selected
28. DISADVANTAGES
• Threats to friendship bias
• Time consuming
• Artificially inflated.
• Peers feels ill equipped to undertake the
assessment.
• Reluctance to make judgement regarding their
peers
29. CRITERIA FOR GOOD PEER EVALUATION

• Voluntary participation
