Now, please reflect: did your opinion about the value of self-assessment change? If so, how and why?

My opinion about the value of the self-assessment did not change because I was always encouraged to self-assess about each course taken and I realize that this helped me to see the areas that needed improvement

Using TET-SAT collaboratively: Question 2

# data[].attributes.body
How would that look in practice? If you are a teacher: How could you use TET-SAT with your colleagues in your own school?

I believe that the way to use TET-SAT in a collaborative way would be: a group of teachers from a certain institution to perform the self-assessment individually, after a collective analysis of the results and a course would be chosen that would improve the competences where most teachers had results below the expected average.

Do you think that TET- SAT is a tool that can also be used in a collaborative way? Why, or why not?

the TET-SAT could be used in a collaborative way if the results of professionals from a certain institution or region were analyzed to see which competencies needed to be improved

What would you like to do or suggest other teachers do to improve their competences after receiving their TET- SAT score? In the video above, the idea of having a portfolio to track progress is mentioned. Do you have any other ideas?

I think it's a good idea but I believe that seeking online courses and video lessons on the internet to improve their skills is an efficient way to improve their skills

Statement 3:  Teachers learned and we learned from this experience that there can be quite a big difference from what teachers assume and what going through the experience (= taking TET-SAT) tells you then. Nives Kreuh, National Education Institute, Slovenia

Do you agree with Nives Kreuh’s statement? How could this idea be taken further?

We human beings unconsciously tend to evaluate us as good in a certain area and this is not always in accordance with reality. Using self-assessment forms such as TET-SAT we can be more confident that the result of the evaluation is more in accordance with our reality. If we self-valued ourselves, without the help of this tool, the results could diverge much from reality and we would not know in which area we should perfect ourselves as teachers.

Statement 2:  The typical user of TET-SAT was a quite technology-competent teacher, so one challenge for the future is how to motivate more teachers that need more training and are less advance in the use of ICT to take TET-SAT. Tuula Nousiainen, National Agency for Education, Finland

Students are already familiar with the use of technology and we teachers should be constantly seeking to improve our teaching methodologies. For this we need to know how our relationship with the technologies is and in what area we need to improve in order to find a way to improve ourselves in these areas.

Do you agree with Diana Laurillard’s statement? How could this idea be taken further?

I agree that teachers using the new technologies are developing, students are already familiar with the use of technology and when the teacher brings dynamic classes and makes use of technologies will approach the students and show how they can make use of the technology for their learning.

What incentive do you think teachers need to participate in such an experimentation, e.g. to fill in surveys?

I believe they need the principals to show the immenseness of this self-assessment for the betterment of each one's teaching.

Do you agree with the conclusions of the MENTEP partners? Are there other aspects you could think of (from a policymaker, teacher or school head perspective)?

I agree with the conclusions, and I realize that this tool is based on answers about their experience which shows the competences and difficulties of each teacher.

What are your first reactions? Did the results surprise you? Which result did you find the most striking? Please also browse through other course participants’ reactions to see if other course participants feel the same about the research results.

What caught my attention in the survey results was the few teachers who used TET-SAT. My conclusion is that these teachers are not accustomed and not willing to use technologies in education.

What do you think are the advantages of self-assessment over other approaches? What shortcomings or risks can you see related to the concept of self-assessment? Do you think that the teachers in your school or country are open to a culture of self-assessment?

The advantages of self-assessment are to make us think about ourselves and the disadvantage is that for fear of being judged we can lie in self-assessment so that the results are more satisfactory. I believe that teachers in my community are open to self-assessment

Before taking a look at the TET-SAT itself, let’s brainstorm about the likely value of a tool for the self-assessment of technology-enhanced teaching to teachers and schools. Do you think this could be useful? How? What would you expect of such a tool – as a school head, teacher or policymaker? Share your thoughts here, then scroll down to complete a one-question survey.

I think it can be very useful so that we can know the skills that need to be improved and thus be in constant evolution
