The doctoral study focuses on the current model of teacher evaluation, regulated by Regulatory Decree No. 26/2012, of 21 February, which, according to its preamble, aims to promote “a demanding, rigorous regime, where the teaching activity and create conditions for schools and teachers to refocus the essential of their activity: teaching and learning ”and whose real effects have not yet been studied.
This evaluative model introduced, for the first time, the component of the external evaluation of teaching performance, emphasizing the role of an external evaluator of the school, responsible for the evaluation of the scientific and pedagogical component of teachers in the probationary period, 2nd and 4th echelons. teaching career.
It is proposed in this work, to study the effects of the introduction of external evaluation, both in terms of the organizational functioning of schools and of the Schools Association Training Centers (CFAEs), which coordinate the external evaluators scholarship, as well as in terms of contribution from the work developed by the external evaluator, to a new teaching evaluation practice, to improving the professional development of teachers in the probationary period, 2nd and 4th echelons of the teaching career and to the pursuit of the objectives of the evaluation model itself.
