Description
Abstract: Appraisal by peers is being increasingly used within organization generally to measure, evaluate and improve job performance by providing feedback to the individual on their performance (Greguras et. al., 2001). Several studies have discovered that lecturers feel uncomfortable being observed and find the process threatening. Furthermore, they have a shallow understanding of the meaning and the real practice of peer observation. Hence, the aims of this study are to examine the lecturers’ understanding on the meaning and the importance of peer observation and to analyze their perception on the effectiveness of peer feedback as an essential tool to enhance quality teaching. The models of peer observation of teaching by Gosling (2002) are examined and discussed in this paper. In addition, the three-phase model in the peer observation process suggested by Peter Washer (2006) is demonstrated and evaluated. Questionnaires are distributed to a total of 84 lecturers’ who are currently teaching in a private higher education institutions. The data collected will be analyzed using SPSS software. The research outcome may provide some feedback for the future development of teaching and learning in this higher institution of learning.
