There are two typical types of observation checklists in schools. One type focuses on the teacher, the other on the students. Common to both types of classroom observation checklists is that they consist of a list of questions that an observer must answer when observing and assessing the teacher's skills and classroom functioning.
School administrations use a teacher observation checklist to assess teachers' performance and ensure that teaching methods are effective and meet school standards. A checklist for class observation is a tool used by school administrations to ensure that students are provided with a positive and supportive learning environment.

II. Teaching techniques

A observation checklist for students is used to conduct an individual or group assessment of students in terms of their behavior and classroom interactions. Based on the results, teachers can examine and adapt their learning methods to meet the learning needs of their students. It also provides the opportunity to correct disruptive behaviour.
The most important areas to consider when observing students:
I. Academic, teaching-related behaviour
Here the working habits and organisational skills of the students are checked.
II. Social behaviour
This refers to the student's interaction with other people in the school.
Is the student friendly and respectful towards adults and students?
Does he interact appropriately with peers in the academic environment?
III. General behaviour and conduct
This area refers to the general behaviour of the student.
Is the student in the class a troublemaker?
What is his attention span?
How actively does he participate in class?
