NAVY SCHOOL MANAGEMENT MANUAL

Provide the students more assistance than is required
or take over and complete an assignment for the
student.
To evaluate Instructor/Student Interaction, evaluators should
observe the students as well as the instructors. Students
should be observed during the evaluation of laboratory training
because their performance provides important information on the
quality and safety of the training. Evaluators should note the
following areas.
Students appeared to understand assignment. Students
should be able to independently start the assignment after
the instructor explains it to them and once started, the
students should work independently. The students should
also complete the assignment correctly. Evaluators should
note if the students were able to accomplish the assignment
without frequent questions and/or assistance from the
instructor.
Students used instructional materials correctly.
Evaluators should note if students are using all of the
instructional materials provided, and if they are using
them correctly. In cases where students are not using the
instructional materials as intended, the evaluator should
note if the instructor observed and corrected the
deficiency.
Students appeared to seek help when needed. Students should
be encouraged to ask for assistance. If students do not
ask the instructor for assistance, note whether they ask
their fellow students or whether they try to proceed
without help. Note the instructor's response and rate this
item accordingly. If the instructor advised them that they
could not seek assistance, mark this item as "NA". If none
of the students ask for assistance because they didn't need
it, mark this item as "NA".
Recognized individual student differences. An instructor
who recognizes individual student differences does not
compare a student's performance to the performance of
his/her peers. The instructor should monitor students'
non-verbal behavior for cues regarding student
understanding and provide the level of assistance required
by the individual student. Instructors should use a
variety of teaching techniques to aid students in
accomplishing the objectives and should use numerous
examples and analogies to aid student performance.
Instructors should monitor more closely students who are
having difficulty than students who are not having
