Durante la observación

  • The observer should take narrative notes of what takes place during the class session. Feedback that is based on what specifically transpires in the class tends to be more constructive and less judgmental than feedback that only recounts general impressions. The observer might also find it helpful to draw a diagram of the classroom setup taking note of where students are sitting, who participates in the discussion, who is silent, etc. The observer should also consider whether the teaching methods used are appropriate for the subject matter at hand, whether the teacher has command of the material, and how the teacer is doing in the specific areas that he or she has identified as ones he or she would like feedback on.
