Evaluation of Teachers Work Performance Indicators in Indonesia
172
The 2017 International Conference on Management Sciences ICoMS 2017 March 22, UMY, Indonesia
172 public schools. The levels of autonomy between
regular public and charter schools appeared to be the strongest differentiating factor across two groups of
schooling, with both task and extra role types of teacher performance in charter schools outweighed
their counterparts in public schools. Those in favor of charter schools predicted that autonomy in structuring
and managing, innovative actions through the use of aforementioned unconventional policies and practices,
and being accountable for results would lead to improved student achievement.
Studies in other sectors have also documented that ERP contribute to employee task performance and
overall organizational performance e.g. Koys, 2001; Podsakoff et al., 2009; Vey and Campbell, 2004, in
Duyar et.al., 2014. Duyar et.al. 2014 observes that while they are expected to perform beyond
expectations, teachers are overwhelmed with already burgeoning tasks and poor climates in schools.
A more holistic approach to assess teachers’ performance was proposed by Murphy 2013, which
stated that the three most common ways to evaluate teacher effectiveness are gains in test scores, classroom
observations and pupil surveys. Murphy 2013 further states that gains in pupil test scores are the best
available metric to measure teacher performance. The main advantage of this measure is its objectivity; and
despite its shortcomings, it is by far the most reliable of the three measures in predicting a teacher’s future
performance. On the contrary, test and exam results cannot reliably be used to differentiate teachers who
are just above and below average, but they can effectively be used to identify teachers who
consistently perform well or badly. In addition, Murphy 2013 also proposes that
while appraisal and evaluation should focus on classroom activities, teachers’ contributions to extra-
curricular activities, including sports, trips and clubs, should also be recognised. This observation is also in
line with UNESCO’s findings in Latin America UNESCO Santiago, 2005 which shows that teacher’s
professional performance does not end in the classroom, because teachers have clear responsibilities
to the school where they work, to the parents of their students, to the community they serve; and to the
professional associations to which they belong.
