 note = {教育研究報告, EDUCATIONAL RESEARCH AND REPORT, Universities and schools use various methods of teacher appraisal, including inspection by external agencies or managers, peer observation, and student evaluation, in order to improve the performance of their faculty. In this article it is suggested that self appraisal is more effective than any other method of appraising teachers, and thus improving their performance. The article draws on the writer's experience as a teacher trainer and school inspector in the UK and other countries, and on his recent experience as an Assistant Professor at Kansai Gaidai University. Data from two recent initiatives in teacher appraisal at that university are also studied. The writer concludes by proposing that self appraisal should be the core element of teacher development, supplemented by the judicious use of peer observation and student evaluation.},
