Impacto da avaliação do desempenho no desenvolvimento profissional do docente: caso da Escola Primária 1 ̊ e 2 ̊ Graus da Mawandla, Distrito de Magude 2015-2017

Abstract

Performance assessment is an effective strategy or practice in professional development. The study aims to analyse performance assessment in the professional development of teachers, specifically seeking to identify the models applied by education managers in assessing teacher performance, characterising the models for assessing teacher performance, relating performance to teacher professional development, and suggesting performance assessment procedures that positively influence teachers’ professional development, taking into account that the application of performance assessment tools can help in this area, generating a close relationship between school managers and teachers. In order to achieve these objectives, we opted to combine the two research methods, adopting a qualitative exploratory approach and conducting interviews to collect data, followed by a quantitative approach through the completion of surveys.
