students should be encouraged to evaluate and criticize their teachers.
First, students could be more involved into the education process in this way. According to modern education theories, the traditional teacher-oriented (or teacher-directed) education mode should be replace by the new student-oriented (or student-directed) education mode. Students, rather than the teachers should be the master of the classroom. That students are given the chance to evaluate and criticize their teachers can be seen as a symbol that they really “functions” as necessary elements in the classroom and therefore they are fully involved.
Second, more effective communication between teachers and students can be achieved in this way. Teaching is a two-way process in which knowledge is given by the teachers and received by the students. Obviously, this process calls for communication between the two sides. To achieve better information transference, teachers need to know the demands and requirements of the students as much as those of the students need to know about the teachers. Yet the evaluation and criticizing systems for teachers to know the students has been established long before, the system for the students to evaluate and criticize the teachers has not been set up. To strike the balance and to achieve the goal of better communication, now is not too late to do that.
Finally, sincere mutual understanding of the teachers and the students can be achieved in this way. Teachers are not always right. Some of their flaws in the teaching process and their insistence of the flaw are what obtrude the mutual understanding between the teachers and their students. Therefore, to remove those flaws and to make improvement in their teaching by accepting the results of the evaluation and criticizing from the students are the key to enhance the understanding and engagement of the students and also the key to drive the teaching program to a better direction.
In one word, to have students evaluate and criticize their teachers, both students and teachers can be benefited if more students are involved in the classroom, and more effective communication and more sincere mutual understanding between the two sides are achieved. |
