Brunei Teachers' Standard:
SCHOOL
teachers will soon have a guideline to measure teaching performance and
competency with the Brunei Teachers' Standard, said the Minister of Education.
He was
responding to a question posed by Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Maharaja
Kerna Dato Paduka Seri Hj Yaakub Pehin Orang Kaya Maharaja Diraja Dato Paduka
Hj Zainal on what the teaching standard means, during the Eighth Legislative
Council (LegCo) session yesterday.
According
to Minister of Education Yang Berhormat Pehin Orang Kaya Seri Kerna Dato Seri
Setia Dr Hj Abu Bakar Hj Apong, previously, an inspector goes to a school to
assess the teaching performance of teachers.
However,
the assessments are based on observation and is subjective based on the
inspector's experience in terms of teaching, delivery of teaching method,
students acceptance, usage of audio-visual equipment and such, said the
minister.
As
such, Brunei Teachers' Standard, which the minister likened to as an ISO
(International Organisation for Standardisation) standard, is a guideline to
measure a teacher's competence, such as whether or not the teacher abides to
the guideline.
The
teaching standard will also look at weaknesses, and areas that need
improvement, said the minister.
"This
is for the purpose of performance appraisal too, like when the teacher is up
for a promotion or to follow a course," the minister explained, "We
will measure in terms of the teacher's achievement based on Brunei Teachers'
Standard."
The
minister said that such assessments in overseas are usually outsourced out of
the government agency, thus, in the country, the Brunei Teachers' Standard will
be implemented through a Department of Inspectors, the minister said.
The
minister added that the teaching standard will require some skills in terms of
the inspectors to ensure assessment that is consistent as well as creating the
possibility of a field for those who have expertise in assessments.
