Abstract
The aim of the research is to determine the views of school improvement coordinators on peer and school observations and to develop recommendations. The research was conducted through a case study of qualitative research designs to examine the views of school improvement coordinators on peer and school observation. Nineteen coordinators working as teachers were chosen to participate. Data for the study were obtained from semi-structured interviews. According to results, participants pointed out some themes, namely ‘organizational benefits, benefits for teachers, social benefits, benefits for observers of peer observation.’ Participants also said that they had ‘difficulties themselves, difficulties arising from the observation process, and observed teachers, as well as organizational difficulties.’ Many suggestions were given about professional development, ensuring continuity of observation, managing the observation process and evaluating the school improvement process with data.
