Abstract

Peer observation in teaching and learning significantly affects students' learning and understanding experience. This improves the quality of content delivery by the teacher and provides learning opportunities for the observer as well. It is triple learning from all sides. So is about sharing ideas and achieving excellence by connecting the best of others. We have proven peer observations and suggested strategies to improve student academic achievement and overall teaching and learning. Different peer observations are considered and incorporated to improvise the instructor and student teaching-learning. As a result, it was found to be very useful and effective in developing student performance and instructor teaching style. Same observation will help to explore different approaches that will help adapt to future challenges in anagogic teaching methods.
