Abstract:
This paper examined the training needs of teachers (in Singapore private institute contexts) based on classroom observation techniques, and recommended suitable areas for teacher development. A predictive model based on observation of a teacher's classroom would be more proactive, requiring the college to investigate and explore reasons contributing to assessment failure rate. Teachers' teaching quality emerged as one of the key influencing factors even though there are many other influences, including college policies, physical environment, classroom learning atmosphere, and curriculum designs. Furthermore, providing students with good quality education would enhance their learning performance and enable them to achieve better results. Overall, by observing teachers' ability to manage classrooms, teach, and implement lessons, provide feedback and evaluate students, and demonstrate professional qualities, the college can create and execute suitable interventions and support systems to improve teacher and student satisfaction.
