EXPLORING TEACHERS’ PERCEPTION OF PEER OBSERVATION AS A PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENTAL TOOL IN HIGHER EDUCATION

Abstract

This study aims to investigate how teachers in higher education in Bangladesh perceive peer observation of teaching (POT) as a means of professional development, identify challenges they face during the POT process, and explore recommendations they have for improving the process. The research methodology used for this study was qualitative, utilizing observation and semi-structured interview techniques to gather data from participants at the researcher's college. Three pairs of English teachers were purposefully selected for observations and in-depth interviews. The teachers observed each other's classes in pairs, using a peer observation technique partially devised by the researcher. After each observation cycle, the researcher conducted one-on-one interviews to explore the participants' experiences, behaviors, and attitudes. Thematic analysis was used to investigate the findings, which revealed that peer observation of teaching is a useful tool for educators' professional development. The POT system promotes learning, develops collegiality, and improves instructional strategies. The study also identified some barriers to the implementation of the POT program, like teachers’ unwillingness to cooperate with the faculty members, reluctance to change their typical teaching strategies, teachers’ busy schedules, and nervousness of being observed. This study also recommended some suggestions for implementing a successful peer observation program. This research is significant in that the knowledge gathered from it will help novice and experienced teachers improve their performance and reflect on their instructional strategies. Policymakers can also use the research findings to evaluate whether peer observation should be implemented in higher education institutions in Bangladesh and beyond.
