ABSTRACT
The process definitely clarifies the scope of an individual’s duties and responsibilities. This comes about especially during the needs assessment process conducted before specific performance objectives are determined. Unless a person understands what is expected of him, it is difficult to see how he can wisely determine where efforts should be concentrated to bring about both qualitative and quantitative improvement in performance. Evaluatees profit most when information regarding their performance is communicated to them in a timely manner. The performance objectives approach to evaluation changes the nature of the working relations between practitioner and supervisor as the emphasis is upon a partnership. Performance objectives stress what happens to students under the instruction and guidance of the teacher. While objectives may be fixed in other areas, the learners’ needs and concerns come first. Duties and responsibilities required in the performance of an assignment must be indicated.
