Abstract
M.Ed.
The problem or this research essay can be summarised by
means of the following questions:
I What is teacher competence?
2 What is the role of transparent feedback when appraising teacher competence?
3 What is the crux of access as an aspect of transparent feedback when appraising
teacher competence?
4 Which behaviours are representative of access when giving transparent feedback? The general aim of this research essay is to
investigate ways and means in which transparent feedback could enhance teacher
competence.
In order to realise this general aim, my specific aim is to
determine aspects that constitute transparency when giving appraisal feedback
conceptualise access as an aspect of transparency
determine whether or not access in giving appraisal feedback is identified during teacher
appraisal.
