Abstract: The purpose of this study was to examine the current
state of faculty evaluation processes in the different colleges devoted to
the preparation of future educators in three states in the Southeast of
Mexico. The study centers on who is conducting the evaluation, what kind of
procedures are being used for assessing faculty performance, how results are
used for decision making and what are the expected and unexpected
consequences of current evaluation policies on the quality of faculty' work
and performance. Moreover, the study focus on what is the meaning of good
teaching and how well faculty assessment procedures take into consideration
the context of teaching and learning and the cultural characteristics of
students, particularly those of Mayan ancestry. Data collection included a
survey, focus group interviews and document review at each of the Normal
Schools in Southern Mexico. In addition, the researchers conducted
observations of teacher work during on site visits to each of the Teacher
Preparation Schools of the states of Yucatan, Campeche & Quintana Roo,
