The contribution of self-evaluation and collaborative practices to primary school teachers’ professional development

The modern educational systems as well as the demands of society and the constant changes that take place require both the teacher and the school organization to evolve, develop lifelong learning skills and adapt to the needs of the knowledge society. Therefore, the need to ensure quality and to achieve an optimal learning outcomes necessitates an evaluation process in the field of education that is constantly changing due to development worldwide. In this sense, the evaluation, and more specifically the internal evaluation of schools has interrelated aspects with the educational process, as well as the professional development of teachers which lead to the improvement of education through the reflection and development of collaborative practices, and the transformation of the organization into a learning community, where teachers learn how to learn.
In this research we have studied the perceptions and attitudes of teachers regarding the contribution of the process of self-evaluation and collaborative practices in their professional development, as well as the role of the administration of the school (Principal & Teachers Association) in the development of self-evaluation culture and its implementation. The methodology followed is the quantitative approach, while the sample of the research consists of Primary Education teachers of the Prefecture of Attica (N = 125). The research tool used to collect the data has been designed by the researcher herself in the form of a questionnaire with closed-ended questions. The results of the study have shown that teachers are skeptical about the process of self-evaluation, recognizing, however, its benefits mainly in terms of improving performance through the dissemination of good practice and the promotion of innovation rather than contributing to their own professional development. Also, it seems that the culture of cooperation is absent in schools and is limited to the exchange of ideas, educational material and teaching practices. It is confirmed, therefore, that the isolation of teachers in the schools of our country and the difficulty of cooperation are still maintained, while the introduction and implementation of self-evaluation in schools is a challenge.
