Breve análisis de algunos aspectos normativos y técnicos de la evaluación del desempeño docente para la permanencia del Servicio Profesional Docente

Abstract

In Mexico, the application of the educational reform promoted by the federal government in 2013 was intended to ensure the professionalization of the teaching practice in terms of labour income, performance, recognition and teacher promotion. Among the different Appraisals that are applied, the appraisal for an extended stay into Professional Teaching Service is considered as having a high impact due to its labor and political implications. The instrument has been called into question, in terms of its validity, because, due to its characteristics, it is assumed that measurement is limited for making high-impact labor decisions about the teacher. Therefore, the present article had the purpose of describing its characteristics and performing an analysis of the consistency that exists between normative and technical documents. It was observed that there is agreement between gen- eral laws, between the institutions that have the function of establishing the normative and technical aspects (National Institute for Educational Evaluation), such as the one in charge of the elaboration of instruments, methods, process and application, which it is the Secretariat of Public Education (SEP). However, when com- paring the technical documents and regulatory processes, it was found that there is a lack of consistency, in terms of the characteristics and purposes of the performance appraisal, since there are different uses and the instruments are not fully adequate for the types of population and working conditions.
