The impact of quality teaching on student achievement

Main Article Content

Abstract

Institutions seek out the best teachers, because quality teaching is an important factor in student achievement. It is related to the knowledge, beliefs, attitudes and dispositions that teachers bring into their profession. The South East European University strives for the highest quality in every faculty and department and sees quality improvement as an individual and collective responsibility. The university supports effective staff performance through announced and unannounced observations, student and staff evaluations, and internal and external opportunities for professional development and training. This study explores teacher and student perspectives on issues related to the teacher’s effectiveness, role and impact on student achievement. Language teachers are found to encourage interaction in the classroom, have a positive attitude towards changes and are open to new teaching situations. Based on the observations, quality teaching depends on knowledge of subject matter and teaching skills—factors that have a positive impact on students’ academic achievement.
