RESPONSIBLE SELF-ASSESSMENT AS PART OF TEACHER ASSESSMENT

The paper presents the results of piloting the tools (developed within the project APVV-14-0446 for 10 key teachers' professional competences) for assessing the teachers' competence Can identify the psychological factors of pupil learning. It is based on qualitative research using the method of analysis and interpretation of the collected data. Though the piloting is still in progress, the data analysis presented in the paper and its results have shown that neither the management nor the staff of Slovak schools is keen on trying new methods of teacher assessment. They do not like filling in forms which are longer than one page and hate questions which ask them to use theoretical knowledge to solve practical problems. This creates a lot of dilemmas for the research team of the project as any of the closed questions in the sheets would need an open sub-question asking for giving of evidence.
