Abstract:
Background

Peer observation is one method of honing teaching skills by evaluating the presentation skills of others with a two-way process of improvement based on critical reflection.Structuring the process of peer observation helps identify gaps where individual students may err while teaching. The main aim of this initiative is to evaluate the quality of teaching among postgraduate students in one department using the principles of peer, near-peer, and faculty observation.

Methods

Structured peer observation of postgraduate seminars was conducted where students’teaching skills were critically commented upon by peers, near-peers, and faculty. Measurements included perceived confidence of students in the feedback process, self-appraisal of competence in selected teaching behaviours and participants’ attitude towards the process of observation using quantitative methodologies. The results were analysed using descriptive statistical methods and expressed as measures of central tendency.

Results

Overall outcomes were highly positive in terms of confidence and appraisal abilities of students in the feedback process. The attitudinal perceptions of students were also positive.

Conclusion

Using feedback from peer and near-peer evaluation, students can develop the teaching skills which will later manifest as beneficial teaching practices in long run. By repeatedly observing and then enacting teaching practices, the gap existing between the current state and the desired state of performance can be reduced.
