Abstract

To ensure empowerment in learning, teachers are encouraged to engage in self-evaluation and reflection to relate theory into practice. Self-evaluation prior to the lecture involves the decision of the topic to be taught, time to be given to each sub-topic, and preparing for the issues and problems of the students related to that topic. Also, teacher should be concerned about how to create interest of the students towards the topic. The result of the qualitative analysis on self-evaluation shows that the teachers demonstrated an increased awareness of their own learning and teaching skills and they demonstrated increased ability to manage problems and doubts of the students. This lends support to the importance of self-evaluation in improving self-esteem, teaching competencies and management of the teaching climate in classrooms. Self evaluation is a long continuous process in which you stay alert and keep observing and always analyzing the results comparing it with the previous outcomes and working towards becoming better teacher. Concept delivery is an important aspect in teaching and one should not avoid it. There are various challenges in doing so we are going to discuss about them in body of paper. In this work self evaluation is considered primarily from the teacher's perspective.
