Teachers' views on their individual evaluation in Second Chance Schools

The innovative institution of Second Chance Schools (SDE) is a relatively modern educational intervention that aims to achieve the social and economic integration of adults whose formal qualifications are considered deficient and insufficient within the context of the modern learning society. The teachers of Second Chance Schools play a fundamental role in the achievement of the above objectives and they are the institutional mediators between the educational system and the students of these schools. Within this context, the institution of educational evaluation works as a supplement to the improvement of the quality of education provided and not only. Based on the above, the purpose of the present research project is to record, highlight and analyze the attitudes and views of teachers of all specialties of Second Chance Schools regarding the institution of educational evaluation, while it also aspires to investigate the proposals of teachers in Second Chance Schools regarding the improvement of the evaluation process.

Methodologically, the research was based on the processing of primary data collected through the completion of questionnaires, which were sent electronically.

The reference population of the research consists of all teaching staff – hourly and seconded – of Second Chance schools in Greece.
